1953 Map of Ashton
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
The James River meanders through the heart of this Spink County landscape, its tight oxbows defining the local topography between the townships of Jefferson and Great Bend. In the northwest corner, the settlement of Ashton serves as a focal point where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad tracks parallel U.S. 281. The prevalence of numerous Flowing Wells across the prairie highlights the critical importance of artesian water for agriculture in this region during the early 1950s.
