About this map

The town of Poplar sits at the confluence where the Poplar River meets the sweeping curves of the Missouri River in northeastern Montana. As the seat of tribal government, the area includes local landmarks such as Ft Peck Community College and the Poplar Cemetery on the northern bluffs. The landscape transitions from the river bottoms to the dissected uplands of Hubbard Coulee and Glendive Coulee to the south.

Transportation corridors follow the water, with Us-2 and the Burlington RD rail line running parallel to the Missouri. The map records the intricate jurisdictional boundaries of the region, where Roosevelt, McCone, and Richland counties meet. Notable local features include the West Poplar River Bridge and the distinct river bend known as Boys Bend, while the Redwater River flows into the Missouri from the south, marking a major drainage point for the surrounding plains.
