South from Tokio on the county graveled road to a junction at =11 m.=; R. to =12.3 m.=; L. to WOOD LAKE (_tourist and camping facilities_; _boating_, _fishing supplies_), =13.3 m.=, a small wooded body of water. Fishing is good during open season (_May 15-Nov. 1 for perch_, _June 5-Nov. 1 for crappie_). In June and July a boys' camp is operated here by the Devils Lake Boy Scouts. On the northwestern shore is the BENSON COUNTY PARK (_picnicking and camping_), a 40-acre tract improved under the Works Progress Administration in 1937. Between its junction with ND 20 and Fort Totten, ND 57 winds along the lake shore at the foot of the high, tree-clad range, and is known as the Burtness Scenic Highway, in honor of O. B. Burtness of Grand Forks (1884-), who as a Congressman from North Dakota (1921-27) was influential in obtaining funds for construction of the road. At =11.3 m.= on ND 57 is a junction with a trail. Left on this trail to the SKI SLIDE, =0.5 m.=, of the Lake Region Ski Club. Each year (_Feb._) riders from all parts of the United States participate in the tournament held here. At =13.3 m.= is a MONUMENT TO FATHER JEROME HUNT, who served St. Michael's Mission (_see below_) almost 40 years. With the help of a young Indian, Ignatius Court, whom he sent to the office of the Devils Lake _News_ to learn the art of printing, he published a small newspaper, two prayer books, and Bible stories, all in the Siouan language. FORT TOTTEN, =14 m.= (1,470 alt., 1,250 pop., including town and reservation), with its uniform white agency buildings primly facing a central square, was originally a military post established in 1867 as a step in the plan to place the Indians of the region on a reservation. The reservation, named for Gen. Gilbert Totten, then Chief, Engineer Corps, U. S. Army, was established through a treaty in 1867 with the Sisseton, Wahpeton, and Cut-Head Sioux. On July 17, 1867, Gen. A. H. Terry, commander of the Department of Dakota, arrived on the southern shore of Devils Lake with three companies of the Thirty-First U. S. Infantry, to establish the post. The original fort was of logs, and still stands half a mile S. of the brick buildings that replaced it in 1868. The bricks for the fort were made on the reservation, and, with the exception of present Fort Lincoln (_see Tour 8_), built much later, this is considered the best-built fort in the history of North Dakota. Principally used as troops' winter quarters, the post sometimes had as many as five companies and at other times only one. Fort Totten troops acted as escorts for surveyors of the N. P. Ry. and for the International Boundary Line Commission, and participated in various campaigns in Dakota and Montana, returning to the fort for the winter.
