2015 Map of Poplar NE

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern horizon of this coastal Douglas County landscape, where the shoreline meets a complex network of river drainages. The topography is defined by the northward flow of the Amnicon River, Middle River, and Poplar River, each carving distinct valleys through the township. This 2015 survey reveals a rural settlement pattern centered on the intersection of E State Rd 13 and Poplar River Rd, where the Lakeside Cem serves as a primary genealogical landmark for the Lakeside community. The map illustrates a grid of family-named roads such as Engdahl Rd, Kaarto Rd, and S Pine Central Rd, reflecting the enduring agricultural and residential tracts established in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Further inland, smaller tributaries like Hanson Cr and Lake Cr weave through the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic importance of the South Shore region.
