2013 Map of Poplar

About this map

Poplar is situated in a high-elevation landscape where the Snake River basin meets engineered water systems and canyon terrain. The settlement is defined by its proximity to the Snake River, which winds through the northeast corner near Stinking Spring Canyon. Local agriculture and land management are visible through irrigation features such as the Anderson Canal and Riley Ditch, which cut across the northern plains. To the southwest, the expansive Ririe Reservoir dominates the drainage of Meadow Creek, showing the modern water storage infrastructure of Bonneville County. The map details a complex network of canyons and ridges, including the distinct Mud Spring and the steep grade of the Harris Dugway. This transition from the river valley to the upland draws of Deep Cr and Mud Spring Cr illustrates the intersection of mid-20th-century water engineering and the older trail routes that once navigated this varied topography.
