soil, and to all appearance well adapted to the purposes of cultivation, good timber for the support of farms is not in that abund- ance that would be looked for in all cases, but yet, there is a sufficiency.
There passes through the center and out at the South Boundry a Creek called Wallnut which a great portion of the year will be sufficient to propel mills and other machin- ery. There are great quantities of Lime- stone disposed through out, and from ap- pearance stone coal may be easily procured in large quantities. It is perceveable in the washings of all the brooks Creeks, etc. On the N. Boundary is what is called the Pleas- ant Prairie. But of the river bottoms noth- ing flattering can be held out-they are not wide in most places-and the numerous ponds, and lakes and marshes spoil them either for beauty or cultivation.
I hereby certify that in pursuance of a contract with Robt. T. Lytle, Surveyor Gen- eral of the United States for the States of Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan and the Terri- tory of Wisconsin bearing date the 23rd day of May 1837 and in strict conformity to the laws of the United States and the instruc- tions of said Surveyor General I have sur- veyed and subdivided into Sections Town- ship No. 73, North in Range No. 8 West 5th Mer. in the Territory of Wisconsin. And I do further certify that the foregoing are the true and Original Field Notes of the said Survey and subdivision executed as afore- said.
Certified this 18th day of November 1837.
