2018 Map of Ashley West

About this map

Lake Hoskins and the sprawling wetlands of the Missouri Coteau define this portion of McIntosh County. The landscape is dominated by large prairie potholes and basins including Goose Lake and the expansive Dry Lake. This modern-day survey reveals the organized grid of section lines and county roads, such as 48th Ave SE and 94th St SE, that segment the agricultural terrain. For those investigating local heritage, the map identifies several distinct burial grounds scattered across the townships, including the Beth Itzchock Cem in the east and the Hoskins Community Cem near the lakefront. The western edge of Ashley appears in the southeastern corner, showing the community's relationship with the surrounding prairie and the drainage patterns of this glacially-carved region.
