2022 Map of Potter

About this map

Potter and Hayton anchor a rural landscape defined by the winding paths of the Manitowoc River and its various branches. The area is marked by significant wetlands, most notably the expansive Hayton Marsh in the south and the corridors of the Killsnake River. This 2022 survey reveals a classic Wisconsin pattern of small, established hamlets connected by a grid of county roads such as Co Rd JJ and Co Rd Y. For genealogists and local historians, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of numerous religious and community burial sites. These include the German Cem and Trinity Lutheran Cem near Potter, as well as the Saint Martin Catholic Cem and Hayton Hillside Cem further south. The distribution of these cemeteries alongside family-named roads like Schneider Rd and BrandES Rd provides a clear view of the ancestral footprint within Calumet and Manitowoc Counties.
