2022 Map of Poplar NE

About this map

The south shore of Lake Superior dominates this coastal landscape in Douglas County, where numerous watercourses drain northward through the timbered terrain. Notable among these are the Amnicon River, Middle River, and Poplar River, which carve distinct paths toward the lake. The region is interlaced with a grid of local roads, many bearing family names that suggest a history of rural settlement, including Schiff Rd, Edstrom Rd, and Kaarto Rd. At the intersection of E State Rd 13 and S Berglund Rd, the Lakeside Cem serves as a local landmark for genealogical research. The drainage patterns of smaller tributaries like Hanson Cr and Erickson Cr illustrate the complex hydrography of the Lake Superior lowland, characterized by small valleys and wetlands that have historically influenced the placement of homesteads and infrastructure.
