This historic battle between Union troops and the Dakota became known as The Battle of Wood Lake. The site includes a historical marker. Both the monument and marker were erected on an acre of the Wood Lake Battlefield, which is preserved by the State. The site is located on County Road 18, 1/2 mile west of Highway 67, between Granite Falls and Echo. The "Battle of Wood Lake" was misnamed. The actual battle took place at Lone Tree Lake, which has since disappeared. General Sibley's guide mistook the location for Wood Lake, which was about three and a half miles to the west.
