About this map

The prairie landscape of Ashley and its surroundings in McIntosh County is defined by a series of significant glacial depressions and water bodies. Goose Lake and Lake Hoskins dominate the northern and central sections of the terrain, while the vast expanse of Dry Lake occupies a central basin. The local transportation network is a rigid grid of rural section roads, including 45th Ave SE and 94th St SE, which provide access to isolated homesteads and burial grounds.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific locations of the Hoskins Community Cem near the lake of the same name and the Beth Itzchock Cem situated further east. These landmarks, along with the settlement at Ashley, mark the historical footprint of early community life in this portion of the Dakotas. The intersection of state routes Nd-11 and Nd-3 serves as the primary regional corridor, connecting the town to the surrounding agricultural fields.
