About this map

Poplar serves as the central hub of this Douglas County landscape, where the Poplar River flows through the Poplar Dam and into Poplar River Pond 28. The terrain is defined by its drainage systems, with the Middle River and Wagner Creek carving through the western sections. To the south and west, the smaller settlements of Dobie, Wentworth, and Hawthorne are connected by a grid of rural routes including E South Shore Grade and S County Hwy-D.

Local history is grounded in the presence of the Poplar Cemetery and Parkview Cemetery, which offer valuable points of reference for genealogists. The geography is relatively flat and interspersed with water bodies like Steele Lake and Twin Lakes, illustrating a classic Wisconsin pattern of small lakeside communities and dispersed rural homesteads. The transport network, featuring named roads like E Moonshine Rd and Deer Trail Rd, reflects the area's continued reliance on local thoroughfares for agricultural and residential access.
