2011 Map of Tokio

About this map

Tokio and Saint Michael anchor this 2011 survey of the Wood Lake District, where a complex network of glacial lakes and prairie wetlands dominates the North Dakota landscape. The map centers on the community of Tokio, situated at a crossroads of local routes like Bia 21, while Saint Michael sits further northwest near the shores of Mission Bay. The hydrology of the region is notably intricate, featuring large bodies like Devils Lake and its northern extension, Black Tiger Bay, alongside smaller prairie potholes such as Spring Lake, Square Lake, and Mallard Lake. A prominent geological landmark, Devils Heart Butte, rises above the surrounding plains to the west of Tokio. To the south, the Wood Lake Marsh Dam regulates water levels between Wood Lake and the adjacent marshlands, illustrating local water management practices within this glaciated terrain.
