2020 Map of Poplar

About this map

The Poplar townsite serves as a focal point on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation where the Poplar River joins the Missouri River. This modern survey details the local infrastructure, including the Fort Peck Community College campus and the Poplar Cem situated near the town center. The landscape is defined by the significant confluence of three water systems: the Missouri, the Poplar, and the Redwater River, which winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle. North of the main settlement, Boys Bend marks a sharp meander in the Poplar River, while the surrounding plains are cut by seasonal drainages such as Hubbard Coulee and Glendive Coulee. Transportation across the river systems is anchored by the West Poplar River Bridge, connecting the town to the rural reaches of Roosevelt County and the neighboring boundaries of Richland and McCone counties.
