1963 Map of Porterfield

About this map

Peshtigo and the lower reaches of the Peshtigo River dominate this mid-century landscape, which is defined by a dense network of early rural education and industry. Small schoolhouses like Job Place Sch, Payne Sch, and Woulf Sch serve the farming communities of Grover and Porterfield, while the widespread presence of Gravel Pits and quarries speaks to the region's resource extraction. Transportation is dictated by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and the Chicago and North Western rail lines, which intersect at strategic points like Bagley Junction. To the north, Lake Noquebay provides a significant water feature, while the Potato Rapids Dam manages the river's flow near the southeastern border. This survey preserves the locations of local landmarks such as the Peshtigo Lookout Tower and St Johns Ch, offering a clear view of Marinette County before modern consolidation changed the rural character.
