2021 Map of Ashton

About this map

The James River meanders dramatically across this Spink County landscape, creating a complex series of oxbows and tight bends as it flows southward. On the northern edge of the sheet, the settlement of Ashton is situated just west of the river, marked by its local Po. The terrain is characterized by the convergence of several waterways, with Snake Cr and the multi-branched Turtle Creek feeding into the main river valley. Near the southern border, the outskirts of Redfield begin to appear, connected to the surrounding townships by a strict grid of section line roads such as 173rd St and Co Rd 15. The presence of Railroad Ln running parallel to the western watercourses highlights the historical importance of rail transit in moving agricultural goods through the James River valley.
