  Seeing The Light - Devils Island Lighthouse
Devils Island is the northernmost island on the western edge of the Apostles Group, and represented an important turning point for both east and westbound vessels coasting along Superior's southern shore.
The Devils Island Light was exhibited for the first time on the evening of September 30, 1891, its light visible at a distance of 13 miles across the surface of the lake.
Work began on the island in earnest at the opening of navigation in 1892, with the construction of a 1½-story wood-framed outbuilding which would serve as temporary quarters for the construction crew as they worked through the summer, and by October the station was virtually complete.

 Devils Mountain Fault -- Online Professional Paper
The Devils Mountain fault is bounded by northwest-trending en-echelon folds and faults, a pattern that strongly suggests it is a left-lateral, oblique-slip, transpressional "master fault." Aeromagnetic anomalies coincide with both the trace of the Devils Mountain fault and en-echelon structures.
Tabor (1994) inferred that the Devils Mountain fault was continuous with the north-trending Darrington fault zone to the east (figure 1) and suggested that pre-34 Ma right-lateral slip was probable, based on fault fabric and offset rock units.
