2013 Map of Leader

About this map

Poplar and the surrounding Cass County countryside are defined by a network of creeks and small glacial lakes within a rural landscape. The settlement of Poplar serves as a central point in this northern Minnesota survey, supported by the historic Poplar Cem and the southern communities of Leader and Ellis. The geography is intricately carved by several waterways, including the winding paths of Martin Cr, Tower Cr, and Swan Cr, which drain into localized basins like Hardwood Lake and Mud Lake. A grid of county and township roads, such as Hulett Rd and Township Rd, provides access to these remote homesteads and agricultural tracts. This detailed map captures the intersection of MN-64 and Co Hwy-24, illustrating the infrastructure that connects these isolated settlements in a landscape dominated by riparian corridors and dense wetlands.
