2011 Map of Ashley West

About this map

The rolling glacial terrain of McIntosh County is defined by its significant water bodies and the quiet history of its rural landscape. Lake Hoskins serves as a central landmark in the southern half of the quadrangle, managed by the Lake Hoskins Dam. To the north, the terrain transitions into the seasonal basins of Goose Lake and the expansive, often marshy Dry Lake, illustrating the fluctuating hydrology of the North Dakota prairie. For those tracing family roots in this corner of the state, the presence of the Beth Itzchock Cemetery and the Hoskins Community Cemetery provides specific geographic markers of the early settlement era. The map’s grid of gravel roads, including 45th Ave SE and 93rd St SE, outlines a region where the vast majority of the land remains dedicated to agriculture and the preservation of open prairie wetlands.
