2024 Map of Ashley West

About this map

The town of Ashley anchors the eastern edge of this landscape, where the prairie grid meets a complex system of glacial wetlands and water bodies. Significant preservation efforts are evident throughout the quadrangle, with large tracts designated as the Mcintosh County Waterfowl Production Area, protecting the habitat around Goose Lake and the seasonally fluctuating Dry Lake. This region of McIntosh County retains strong ties to its early settlement history, marked by a high density of rural burial grounds such as Beth Itzchock Cem and Trinity Lutheran Cem. The terrain is defined by its hydrography, most notably Lake Hoskins, which is circumnavigated by N Lakeshore Dr. This survey captures the enduring agricultural character of the North Dakota plains, where section roads like 90th St SE and 43rd Ave SE frame a mosaic of small lakes and prairie potholes.
