1956 Map of Devils Lake

About this map

Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation sits at the northern edge of this mid-century landscape, bordering the Canada-United States line. The region is defined by a dense grid of grain-hauling rail lines, including the Great Northern and the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie (Soo Line), which connect a network of prairie elevators and small settlements like Rolla, Langdon, and Munich. The geography is characterized by numerous potholes and glacial lakes such as Rock Lake and Island Lake. To the south, the Fort Totten Indian Reservation and Sullys Hill National Game Preserve overlook the complex waters of Devils Lake. Detailed landmarks like the Rose Hill School and St Alphonse Church offer points of interest for those tracing family history in the rural townships of Towner, Cavalier, and Ramsey counties.
