2018 Map of Poplar

About this map

Poplar and Wentworth anchor the northern landscape of Douglas County, where the terrain is defined by the drainage basins of the Middle River and Poplar River. The 2018 survey shows a rural infrastructure heavily influenced by the Tri-Co Corridor and a grid of township roads with family-named landmarks like Moonshine Rd and Barsness Rd. Near the southern edge, the settlement of Hawthorne sits adjacent to the Parkview Cem, while the interior remains a mosaic of wetlands and small water bodies including Steele Lake and Twin Lakes. The presence of Gravel Pit Rd and the E South Shore Grade hints at the industrial and rail history that shaped this portion of northern Wisconsin, providing a clear view of the modern road network superimposed over the traditional settlement patterns of the region.
