About this map

The glacial waters of Devils Lake dominate this landscape, showing the complex shorelines of Mission Bay, South Bay, and Black Tiger Bay during the mid-1970s. The settlement of Tokio is positioned along the Great Northern RR, serving as a focal point for the surrounding prairie. Nearby, the prominent elevation of Devils Heart Butte rises above a cluster of smaller water bodies including Spring Lake and Wood Lake.

This area is situated within the Fort Totten portion of the local Indian Reservation, a detail that shapes the distribution of rural landmarks. Local history is preserved in the location of the Wood Lake Ch and School No 3, which provided essential services to the scattered agricultural community. The map also records the location of a Gravel Pit, reflecting the small-scale extraction industries common in this part of Benson County.
