About this map

The prairie landscape of McIntosh County is defined by its seasonal waters and early transportation corridors in this early 1980s study. Much of the northern terrain is dedicated to conservation, including the National Waterfowl Production Area which encompasses Goose Lake and the ephemeral Dry Lake. The regional hub of Ashley occupies the southeastern corner, where the community's local infrastructure is evident in the Golf Course and a nearby electrical Substa.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of the Beth Itzchock Cem and the Hoskins Community Cem. Transportation history is marked by an Old RR Grade that cuts through the center of the quadrangle, illustrating the shifting rail economy of the Great Plains. Water-based recreation is centered on Lake Hoskins, which includes the Lake Hoskins Recreational Area and designated Public Access points for the community.
