Lake, Little Manitou Lake, Lenore Lake, Waldea Lake, Big Quill
Lake, Little Quill Lake, Fishing Lake, Kenosee Lake, Whitebear
Lake, Oro Lake, White Water Lake, Devils Lake (ND). Looks at
instrumental records of lake level changes and data from
examination of air photos. Only a few lakes have records that
extend to the early twentieth century; most data is for the last
half of the twentieth century. Most lakes show a generally falling
trend. Interestingly, Devils Lake stands out as being markedly
different with a generally rising trend since the 1940s.
