From Increase Lapham's 1844 Geographical and Topographical Description of Wisconsin:

"KAUCHEE LAKE, on the Oconomowoc creek, next above the Oconomowoc lake, having a small lake called Mouse lake, near its northeast corner. It has a triangular shape, each side being about one and a half miles long, and a narrow bay extends half a mile from its southern extremity. It occupies nine hundred and fifty-seven acres, and has a periphery of five miles and three quarters. At the outlet of this lake a dam has been built, which has raised its waters above their original level."
