2020 Map of Ashley East

About this map

Ashley serves as the primary hub in this portion of McIntosh County, showing a well-defined grid oriented around E Main St and 7th St NE. The surrounding prairie is characterized by a high density of wetlands and glacial lakes, including the large expanse of Kislingburg Lake and the smaller Salt Lake to the north. These water bodies dictate the placement of the section-line road network, which includes routes such as 94th St SE and 97th St SE. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies specific interment sites at Ashley City Cem on the edge of town and Emmaus Cem further north in the rural countryside. Transportation infrastructure is represented by the Ashley Municipal Airport, reflecting the region's continued reliance on aviation for agricultural and utility purposes in this expansive landscape.
