It may be said of this township that it embraces a considerable quantity of good soil, and to all appearance well adapted to the purposes of cultivation, good timber for the support of farms is not in that abundance 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 (sic) a Creek called Wallnut (sic) which a great portion of the year will be sufficient to propel mills and other machinery. There are great quantities of Limestone disposed through out, and from appearance 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 Pleasant Prairie. But of the river bottoms nothing 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 General of the United States for the States of Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan and the Territory of Wisconsin bearing date the 23rd day of May 1837 and in strict confirmity to the laws of the United States and the instructions of said Surveyor General I have surveyed and subdivided into Sections Township 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 aforesaid.
Certified this 18th day of November 1837.

Deputy Surveyor.
