2011 Map of Fisk

About this map

The winding Saint Francis River dominates this portion of Butler County, its natural meanders contrasting with the rigid geometry of the surrounding agricultural drainage system. The settlement of Fisk serves as a local hub along the riverbanks, where the presence of the Riverside Mill and Poplin Ferry points to a historical reliance on the waterway for industry and transit. To the west, the community of Ash Hill is situated near the Ash Hills Cemetery, while further north, Owens Cemetery sits along a quiet bend in the river. This landscape is defined by its water management history, featuring an extensive network of numbered channels including Ditch Number 11 and Ditch Number 17 that drain the low-lying plains near Panther Run Slough. Smaller residential clusters like Green Oaks, Ives, and Poplin line the modern thoroughfares, marking the evolution of this rural river valley.
