1950 Map of Devils Lake Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Old Indian Reservation Boundary bisects this mid-century landscape where the cornering of Ramsey, Nelson, and Benson counties meets. The shoreline of East Devils Lake dominates the western edge, revealing the hydrologic character of the basin before late-twentieth-century water level fluctuations. The terrain is defined by glacial features like Devils Lake Mountain and Blue Mtn, which rise above a network of small wetlands and potholes. Evidence of early rural infrastructure remains visible through the placement of School No 1 and School No 2, serving the townships of Odessa, Illinois, and Minco. Genealogists may find particular value in the location of the Odessa Cem, situated near the lake's eastern reaches during a period when these prairie townships maintained distinct local identities.
