1982 Map of Porterfield

About this map

The Peshtigo River meanders across the southern landscape of this Marinette County region, serving as a primary geographic anchor for the townships of Grover and Peshtigo. In the early 1980s, the area remained a blend of rural agriculture and industry, defined by a dense network of gravel pits and quarries that dot the terrain between the river and the northern reaches of Wagner. The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific rail line provides a transit corridor through the heart of the map, passing by the central community of Porterfield, where local life is centered around the Porterfield Ch and Porterfield Sch. Further east, the settlement of Walsh sits near St Joseph Cem, while the confluence of rail lines at Bagley Junction marks a key historical transportation node. Small waterways like Gravelly Brook and Twin Creek drain the swampy lowlands, reflecting the glacial character of this Wisconsin interior.
