About this map

The settlement of Tokio and the community of Saint Michael anchor this 2020 landscape, characterized by a complex network of glacial lakes and prairie wetlands. Local history and genealogy are centered on several significant burial grounds, including the Dakotah Oyate Lutheran / Native American Cem, the Native American Cem, and the Bdecan Presbyterian Cem. These sites, along with Saint Michaels Catholic Church Cem, reflect the cultural and spiritual heritage of the region across different denominations and traditions.

Prominent geographical features such as Devils Heart Butte rise above the surrounding terrain, which is dominated by significant water bodies like Spring Lake, Wood Lake, and the eastern reaches of Mission Bay. The map reveals a rural road system, including BIA Rd 1 and Reeves Rd, that connects isolated homesteads and community centers across the Benson and Ramsey County line, showing how the contemporary transportation network follows the contours of the lake-rich environment.
