About this map

Fort Totten sits at the heart of this landscape, characterized by the dramatic transition from the southern shores of Devils Lake and Mission Bay to the rising terrain of Sullys Hill. The map documents a significant intersection of cultural and natural conservation, featuring the Sullys Hill National Game Preserve and the extensive Benson County Waterfowl Production Area. These protected lands reflect the area's importance as a habitat within the northern plains ecosystem, punctuated by numerous water bodies like Sweetwater Lake and Mallard Lake.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Fort Totten Post Cem and the modern campus of Cankdeska Cikana Community College. The road network, including family-named routes like Bouret Rd and Ephraim Hill Rd, traces the settlement patterns and land use south toward Big Coulee. The map provides a precise contemporary view of the boundary between Ramsey Co and Benson Co as it follows the irregular northern shoreline.
