Sections numbered 35 and 36 therefore appear four times in this
On the south sille of the Wabash River and along Treaty Crech are a number of Indian reserves through which the section lines have never been extended, though in must euses they have long since been sold by their aboriginal ocenpaints. There reserves ure usually numbered, and some of the larger ones have been sub- rhivided. Among these reserves was one which belonged to the Indian Churley. It is known as " Charley's Section," aml o part of the present city of Walmsh is built epon it.
LA GRD TOWNSHIP. - This township; like Noble, is a very large Due, being of about the same size, Taken altogether, its greatest length is twelve weiles by eight in width As it can be most con- veniently shown in that way, it is divided into two separate maps, the part lying in Town. 27 in one map, and the part iu Town. 28 in another. That part of Town. 27 had a portion of its original hunndaries taken to forin Noble Township, but is shown here, as well as on the map of that township, the township line being io- diented by the coloring.
The survey of this towuship was not all made nt one time, hut at intervals, as the different parts beenme subject to entry when the Indinu title was extinguished. Some of these reserves were owned by the Indians until the country became quite preerally settled, the large reserve ( No 14), lying just south of the Wabash River, now divided into Upper, Middle, and Lower Reserve see- tions, being an example.
The mup of the north part of La Gro Township embraces Tuwn. 28, Range 7, and part of Rangr &. A large tract nlung the river, just above the present village of La Gro, was not surveyed into seetines antil the year 1855.
This township derived ita enme from Lo Gro, an Indian chief who once flourished in the vicinity. llis name was varioosly spelt, La Gru, Lugru, Lesgrus, Le Gris, etc., and is evidently of French origin.
PAWPAW TOWNSHIP is of recent formation, having been made from Noble and Pleasant townships. It has the usunt two-mile strip in Sec. 5, and embraces parts of Towns 29 und 20. It is the smallest township in the county, but contains forty sectiony, or four sections more than a congressional township
I'LEASANT Towysuit contains fifty-six sections located in parts of four different congressiunul townships, to wit, Town. 20, range 5, Town 29, Runge 6, Town 30, Range 5, Tuwu. 30, Range 1; Sections 23 nud 24, therefore, appear in four different places. while Sve. 3. for instance, appears but once.
CHEATER TOWNSHIP contains sixty-six sections, all of Town. 29, lange 7 ; west third part of Town. 20, Range 8, and south half of Town 30, Range 7; consequently, Sections 31 And 52 appear three times, but, as hefore stated, no trouble need arise if the township and range are given.
The VILL.ANE PLAss have been draws on a uniform scale of six chains or 306 feet to the inch, and will be found very complete and satisfactory.
The historient aut descriptive portions of the work have been prepared with much cure, especinl pains bring tuken to rollert materials from authentic sources. On some points qued nutho- rities would differ, and it is not to be woelrrel at, siner many of the nerurrenees describeit took place so long ago that the memory of men is often vague and conflicting
'The State and U. S. mapy accompanying this work have been, sehetul with grent rare after an eximantion of nearly every map of either ever published that were at all ennable. It is believed that they are the most complete and satisfactory ever in read in a work of this kind. Katra copies of either can be obtained of the publisher ut nny timr.
It is suggested to the intelligent regler that he enn grimly in- errow thor interest and value of this Atlas as a work of referemrn in future. years, if he make use of the blank leaves font in the work by noting down such additional facts about the history of the county, remarkable nerorrepre, that have taken place, or other Items of interest and value, whether treated of in the Atlus or tmnt. In this way a little inteligent effort will woon make a valu- able whilstion to the work and preserve in & permanent shopu much that would otherwise be forgotten.

HISTORY OF WABASH COUNTY, INDIANA,
BY TOWNSHIPS.
PLEASANT TOWNSHIP.
To this broad and fertile portion of Wabash County, right well belongs the name which it's earliest settlers gave it. Eel River flows meanderingly through its southern portions, and the far-famed valley of' that stream stretches out for miles on either side; well watered, heavily wooded, rich, and productive. To the northward, in the region drained by Silver amt Squirrel Creeks, the surface of the country is gently rolling: less heavily timberel, and dotted with many beautiful lakelets, whose clear coll waters are feil by living springs, and ahumlantly stocker with fish. Here over the "wak openings," or " bar- rens" ns they are sometimes called ; not on account of sterility, but from the cireminstance of their being more sparsely til- bered. in the heavily wooded, or beech lands, as they were designated, belts of which extended through between the open- ings, and nlong the vicinity of the rivers, the forests were, io early days, very dense, choked with underbrush, ul diversified by a large variety of trers-nak, maple, walnut, sycamore, pop- Jar, and beech, being the leading varieties; while in the openings the timber was almost exclusively onk, and entirely tree frio underbrush. The trees were of a mediin size, generally aver- agiag about twenty inches in diameter, and senttered thinly enough to allow n wagon to be driven almost anywhere among them.
