This township is eminantly adapted to agricultural pirposes. The surfice is greatly uniform & the soil of a very superior quality. There is scarce an acre but that can be made a valuable for farming perposes. The south half is covered with a heavy growth of Oak, Hickory, Elm, Lynn, some Walnut and Locas, all of an exilant quality. It is known through this part of the territory as the nut Woods. It is well watered by Walnut Creek & its tributaries. This creek offords a suffi- cientery of water for common manufacture- ing perposes. Nearly every section in this township contains one or more improve- ments.
I hereby certify that in pursuance of a contract with George N. Jones, Surveyor General of the United for Wisconsin and Iowa, bearing date, the 10th day of April, 1841, and in strict conformity to the laws of the United States, and the Instructions of said Surveyor General, I have surveyed and subdivided intersections, Township No. 73, North in Range No. 9 West, in the Territory of Iowa, and I do further cer- tify that the foregoing are the true and original Field Notes of said survey and sub- division, executed as afforesaid.
Certified this the 29th day of April, 1841. SAM'L C. WITHE, JAS. F. SHANNON, Deputy Surveyor.
