About this map

Portsmouth sits at the junction of rail and stream in this late 1970s topographical record. The town's layout is closely tied to the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which runs through the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. Local heritage is centered around the St Marys Cem on the town's western edge, serving the surrounding rural townships of Cass, Washington, and Douglas. The landscape is defined by an intricate drainage network where Pigeon Creek and its tributary, Little Pigeon Creek, carve through the terrain. Other waterways like Picayune Creek, Spring Creek, and Mosquito Creek illustrate the natural irrigation of this agricultural region along the Harrison and Shelby County line.
