Devil's List

A reckoning of every natural feature named after Lucifer in the contiguous United States.

Florida

Devil's Millhopper
A 120 foot deep sinkhole in Gainsville, Florida. I didn't know anything could be 100 feet deep in Florida and not be full of water. Definitely something devilish going on. 7/10

Illinois

Devil's Creek
A ravine in Peoria that briefly cuts between bluffs along the Illinois river before cutting through a water treatment plant and joining the river. Probably impressive for people who are used to flat cornfields. 1/10

Montana

Devil Canyon
A Canyon near the Wyoming border on the Crow Indian Reservation. If you've ever seen a picture of a dramatically U shaped canyon, it's this one. 9/10

Nevada

Devil's Hole
A hot wet crack in Death Valley. Thanks to geothermal heating the water at the surface is always close to body temperature. Houses the entire population of a species of pupfish that live in a dark hot low-oxygen environment smaller than an Olympic swimming pool. 6/10

North Carolina

Devil's Courthouse
A fairly nondescript cliff face in Pisgah National Forest. Notable chiefly because most of the Blue Ridge mountains are completely covered in vegetation. 3/10

Oregon

Devil's Punchbowl
An extremely cool rock formation on the oregon coast that fills and drains with the tides. Definitely means you ill. 10/10

South Carolina

Devil's Fork
Unclear why this state park featuring a picturesque clear mountain lake is named after the devil. The most interesting thing in this area is a rare white flower. 2/10

South Dakota

Devils Tower
A big thick butte that juts high above the black hills. One of the rock formations that makes weirdos believe trees used to be huge because it kind of looks like a huge tree stump. Ignore the fact that giant prehistoric tree stumps would require a prehistoric Paul Bunyan cutting them down. 7/10

Wisconsin

Devil's Tea Table
A tree-covered hill on the Pecatonica River outside of Browntown, Wi. Barely perceptible as a location. Could be an overgrown gravel pile. Utterly uninspiring. 0/10
