2017 Map of Grahams Island

About this map

Grahams Island dominates this 2017 survey of the intricate shoreline within Devils Lake. The landscape is defined by the high-water levels and fluctuating reaches of the lake, which isolate landmasses and create distinct aquatic features like Oswalds Bay and Pelican Lake. This modern topographic study, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, shows a network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes including BIA Rd 25 and BIA Rd 27 serving the southern portion of the island and surrounding shorelines. The map also delineates the complex county line between Benson Co and Ramsey Co, which weaves through the waters of Sixmile Bay. The presence of roads like Park Ave and a designated 4wd RD indicates the recreational and local access points established as the lake's footprint changed over recent decades.
