der = of the
Tscherkessensiedlung = Circassian settlement
auf dem = on the
Kawak-Tepe [name of a place which means translated]
Pap[p]elhügel = Poplar hill
Kawak-tepe may be "Kavaktepe", a very small village in the province of Tunceli:

(the article also gives the translation Pappel-Hügel)
https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kavaktepe,_Mazgirt
because the only "Kawak tepe" Google shows is (or at least was) the name of a 2181 m mountain south of Kayseri.
Thanks to Helmut Thiess (Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Osteuropaabteilung) for the above.
