2018 Map of Ashley East

About this map

Ashley serves as the primary hub of this McIntosh County landscape, situated near the intersection of Center Ave S and several numbered streets including 1st Ave SE and 2nd Ave SE. The town's surrounding geography is defined by a dense network of prairie potholes and larger water bodies like Kislingburg Lake and Salt Lake. The agricultural character of the region is reflected in the organized grid of rural roads, such as 95th St SE and 50th Ave SE, which connect dispersed local sites. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Emmaus Cem and the Ashley City Cem on the outskirts of the settlement, while the Ashley Municipal Airport to the south indicates the area's modern infrastructure. The map illustrates a classic Great Plains transition where the residential streets of the town give way to the expansive wetlands of Tschetter Lake and the surrounding townships.
