About this map

Potter and Hayton anchor this survey of the Calumet and Manitowoc county line, where a complex network of glacial waterways defines the rural geography. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling Hayton Marsh and the convergence of the Killsnake River with the South Branch Manitowoc River. These wetlands, along with Bullhead Lake and Hayton Pond, reflect a terrain where drainage and river valleys have long dictated the placement of roads and farmsteads.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of religious and burial sites across the township lines, including Trinity Lutheran Cem and Saint Martin Catholic Cem. Small rural clusters like Wells are positioned along historic corridors such as Co Hwy JJ, while family-named landmarks like Streckert Cem and various township range lines provide a clear framework for tracing 19th and 20th-century property ownership in eastern Wisconsin.
