2019 Map of Ashby

About this map

Ashby sits as the primary hub of this landscape where the borders of Grant, Douglas, and Otter Tail counties converge. The geography is defined by a dense concentration of glacial basins, ranging from the expansive Pelican Lake and Lake Christina to smaller waters like Werson Lake and Shady Grove Lake. A site of significant cultural importance, the Native American Burial Grounds are noted on a peninsula extending into Pelican Lake, offering a glimpse into the deep indigenous history of the region. Transportation and infrastructure are represented by the Melby Airport and a network of county roads like Co RD 82, which facilitate movement through this lake-rich terrain. Genealogists will find the Pelican Lake Cem and Erdahl Cem as preserved landmarks of the local community's heritage during this modern era.
