1950 Map of Poplar Head

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Holmes Creek winds through this panhandle landscape, marking the boundary between Holmes and Washington Counties. The area is characterized by a high concentration of named bays and pocketed wetlands, including Eighty Acre Bay and Lolly Head Bay, interspersed with isolated high ground such as Chalk Hill and Poplar Head Hill. In 1950, the settlement pattern remained dispersed, centered on key intersections like Johnson Crossroad and Brock Crossroad. The presence of several rural institutions, such as Union Hill Sch and Bethesda Ch, suggests a closely-knit agricultural community reliant on these central landmarks. The southern edge of the map features the town of Vernon along the river, while the northern reaches contain unique named islands like Red Oak Island, which are actually areas of dry land surrounded by swampy bays.
