2017 Map of Athol

About this map

Athol anchors the southern portion of this Spink County landscape, surrounded by the rectangular grid of section lines and rural roads typical of the eastern Dakotas. The drainage patterns of Snake Creek and the S Fork Snake Cr carve sinuous paths through the agricultural terrain, highlighting the natural topography that underlies the region's productive farmland. Local heritage is preserved in a concentration of burial sites near the settlement, including Saint Mary's Cem, Saint Ann's Cem, and the Athol Cem. These features reflect the community's historical foundations and the importance of parish life in this rural prairie setting. The map provides a detailed view of the section boundaries and local roads like 164th St, which define the movement and property lines of the modern era.
