2016 Map of Ashby

About this map

Ashby serves as the central hub for this portion of Grant County, positioned amidst a dense collection of glacial lakes that define the local landscape. The town's proximity to Pelican Lake and the smaller Melby Lake suggests a community deeply tied to the water, while the presence of Melby Airport indicates local aviation activity. Cultural and historical sites are scattered throughout the region, notably the Native American Burial Grounds located on the eastern shore of Ask Lake and the Pelican Lake Cem situated just south of the town center. The map reveals a complex hydrography extending westward toward Pomme de Terre Lake and Shady Grove Lake, illustrating the post-glacial geography common to this section of Minnesota. Road networks like Co HWY 82 and Pelican Heights Rd provide access to seasonal lakeside developments and farming tracts.
