2016 Map of Ashtola

About this map

Ashtola stands as the primary settlement in this corner of Donley County, situated at the intersection of several rural routes including Ranch Rd 2362 and Co Rd 6. The geography is defined by the significant braided path of the Salt Fork Red River, which serves as a central drainage point for numerous intermittent tributaries. The landscape to the north of the river is particularly dissected by drainage systems like Rawhide Creek and Sandy Creek, while the southern portion is characterized by a more regular grid of county roads. The boundary between Armstrong Co and Donley Co runs vertically through the western third of the map, illustrating how early political lines bisected the natural drainage basins of Cottonwood Cr and McCullum Cr. This survey provides a clear view of the ranching and agricultural road network that sustains this High Plains community.
