2013 Map of Ashby

About this map

Ashby serves as the central hub of this lakeside landscape, where the borders of Grant Co, Douglas Co, and Otter Tail Co converge. The topography is defined by a dense concentration of glacial basins, ranging from the expansive Pelican Lake and Lake Christina to smaller waters like Slotsve Lake and Shady Grove Lake. This 2013 edition documents a region deeply tied to its glacial history and recreational economy, evidenced by the cluster of sites including Indian Mounds Resort and Campgrounds and the Native American Burial Grounds overlooking the water. Transportation follows both modern and historical lines, with MN-78 and Co HWY-82 cutting through the terrain near the small settlement of Melby and its associated Melby Airport. Genealogists will find the locations of local resting places like Pelican Lake Cem and Erdahl Cem clearly marked among the farm roads and lakefronts.
