About this map

Fort Totten and the Devils Lake Sioux Indian Reservation anchor the northwestern portion of this 1985 landscape, where the prairie is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and waterfowl management areas. The Sheyenne River winds through the central territory, passing near settlements such as Tokio, Warwick, and Pekin. This region is a sanctuary for migratory birds, evidenced by the numerous specialized preserves including the Stump Lake National Wildlife Refuge and Sullys Hill National Wildlife Refuge.

Transport is dominated by the Soo Line railroad and local roads connecting smaller agricultural hubs like McVille, Tolna, and Aneta. The landscape is dotted with family-named landmarks and distinct topographic features like Devils Heart Butte and Lookout Mountain. To the south, the James River begins its course near Brantford and Grace City, reflecting the transition from the high lake country to the broader river basins of the Dakotas.
