This spirit sat on the bottom of the lake, gazing upward, and if any boatman ventured to cross his domain without dropping a pipe or beads or hatchet into it, woe betide him, for his boat would be caught in a current and smashed against a rocky shore.
DEVIL'S LAKE Any of the noble rivers and secluded lakes of Wisconsin were held in esteem or fear by the northern tribes, and it was the now-forgotten events and superstitions connected with them, not less than the frontier tendency for strong names, that gave a lurid and diabolical nomenclature to parts of this region.
The lake fills what is locally regarded as the crater of an extinct volcano, and the coldness and purity kept by the water, in spite of its lacking visible inlets or outlets, was one cause for thinking it uncanny.

CA-SCR-35 is prehistoric site which lies along the northern Monterey Bay coastline, 4.8 km south of the town of Davenport, on a parcel of land known as Edwards Beach.
The scarcity of fish head bones, and a total number of indeterminate fish vertebrae that account for six fish at the most, suggests that fish were processed in such a way as to prevent preservation of their remains.
At least 12 pocket gophers are among the site remains; their bones are in good condition relative to those of other animals, and on two occasions remains of nearly complete gophers were found to have the same provenience.

 Impacts of Changing Land Use -- State Of the Lakes Ecosystem Conference (SOLEC '96)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The indigenous peoples of the Great Lakes basin, with their hunting and gathering activities, periodic encampments, and use of fire as well as the practice of burning areas for various purposes had no apparent long-term adverse impact on the ecosystem.
In the case of the Great Lakes basin, the transportation system is approaching maturity, and future trends indicate an emphasis on preserving the system and managing and optimizing the infrastructure, with limited expansion of the system.
Within the Great Lakes basin, many high-volume transportation corridors are in the nearshore area because the lakes and connecting channels can be barriers to particular long-distance routings and often funnel surface routes to, or concentrate them in, the coastal areas.
