2021 Map of Athol

About this map

Athol serves as the primary settlement on this Spink County landscape, situated where the grid of rural section roads meets the winding path of South Fork Snake Creek. The topography is defined by the heavy meandering of Snake Creek, which carves complex loops across the central and southern portions of the quadrangle. This 2021 survey reveals a quiet agricultural region anchored by two local burial grounds: Athol Cem near the town site and Saint Mary's Cem to the north along 163rd St. The reliance on a systematic road network, including Co Rd 17 and 384th Ave, highlights the modern connectivity of this prairie terrain, where the water courses of the S Fork Snake Cr remain the most prominent natural landmarks among the vast fields of the Glacial Lake Dakota region.
