2012 Map of Athol

About this map

Athol anchors the southern portion of this Spink County landscape, situated where the local road network converges near the meandering path of S Fork Snake Cr. The settlement's layout is defined by a grid of numbered avenues and streets, including Athol Dr and Co Hwy 14, which facilitate movement through the agricultural surroundings. A notable point of local history is found at Saint Marys Cem, located just north of the town center near the banks of Snake Cr. The terrain is dominated by the intricate, looping channels of the creek system, which snakes north-to-south across the quadrangle. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring rural character of the region, where the intersection of water and roadway continues to dictate the footprint of human activity and burial grounds.
