Sketch of the Public Surveys in Wisconsin Territory
Map
This map of Wisconsin and a portion of Minnesota shows the township surveys in progress in portions of the Saint Croix River region and in central Wisconsin along the Fourth Principal Meridian. Much of northern Wisconsin, including Menominee and Oneida lands, remains un-surveyed. Surveys have been completed in the area south and east of the Wisconsin and Fox rivers. A manuscript note states, "From Land Office report."
