About this map

The settlement of Ashby serves as the focal point of this Grant County landscape, situated where the Central Lakes Trl and major local thoroughfares converge. This area is defined by a dense network of water bodies, most notably the expansive Pelican Lake, Lake Christina, and the Pomme de Terre Lake system. The geography reflects a long history of habitation and recreation, evidenced by the Native American Burial Grounds and several community landmarks including the Pelican Lake Cemetery and Erdahl Cemetery.

Infrastructure is anchored by the Ashby Post Office and the small Melby Airport to the northwest. The presence of numerous recreational sites, such as the Shady Lawn Resort and Campground and Indian Mounds Resort and Campgrounds, underscores the region's enduring appeal as a lakeside destination. Flowing through the terrain, Pelican Creek connects several smaller lakes, including Melby Lake and Slotsye Lake, illustrating the complex glacial hydrology of western Minnesota.
