1985 Map of Stump Lake

About this map

Stump Lake and the eastern reaches of Devils Lake dominate this mid-1980s landscape, illustrating a region defined by its glacial hydrology and wildlife conservation. Much of the northwestern portion is occupied by the Fort Totten Indian Reservation, featuring settlements such as Fort Totten, Tokio, and Saint Michael. The map details a complex network of sloughs and lakes, many protected within the Stump Lake National Wildlife Refuge and Sullys Hill National Wildlife Refuge. The Burlington Northern railroad serves as the primary transit corridor, linking agricultural towns like Warwick, Pekin, and McVille. This planimetric study shows the transition of the Sheyenne River as it winds through the southern townships, while landmarks like Devils Heart Butte and Lookout Mountain provide vertical contrast to the surrounding flats and coulees.
