About this map

The Sioux Indian Reservation dominates the southern landscape of this North Dakota survey, a region defined by its complex glacial hydrology and expansive prairies. Centered between the fragmented shores of South Minnewaukan Lake and East Devils Lake, the terrain is punctuated by numerous smaller water bodies, including Free Peoples Lake and Elbow Lake. This area reflects a specialized conservation and community layout, specifically seen in the National Waterfowl Production Area.

Infrastructure is focused around the settlement of Warwick in the south and the township boundary of Lohnes. The landscape is a mix of agricultural land and native wetlands, where the occasional Gravel Pit indicates local resource extraction. The map provides a precise view of the tribal and county borders, including the line between Benson and Ramsey counties, during a period of rising water levels in the Devils Lake basin.
