1951 Map of Devils Lake

About this map

Devils Lake serves as the focal point of this mid-century landscape, positioned at a critical junction of northern rail lines. The city grid is densely packed with civic and educational institutions, including the Lincoln Sch, Washington Sch, and the State School for Deaf. The presence of the St Marys Academy and the Odd Fellows Home reflects the community-centric development of the era. South of the city, the landscape transitions toward the namesake water body and Mission Bay, where the shoreline is defined by township boundaries and the approximate boundary of the lake's 1975 elevation.
