2013 Map of Poplar

About this map

Poplar and Wentworth anchor this northern Wisconsin landscape, where the drainage systems of the Middle River and Poplar River carve north toward Lake Superior. The terrain is defined by a transitional grid of rural roads and waterways, including the Poplar River Pond 28 and the headwaters of several creeks such as Erickson Cr and Lake Cr. In the southern portion of the map, the settlement of Hawthorne sits near the junction of major transit corridors like Us-53, reflecting the region's 21st-century infrastructure while maintaining its identity as a network of small, distinct communities. To the southeast, Steele Lake and Twin Lakes provide a contrast to the river-cut valleys, offering a look at the glacial lake pockets common in Douglas County. This survey illustrates how modern highway developments, specifically Us-2, have integrated with older townships and the natural riparian corridors of the area.
