running into the Mississippi take their [rise?] in the vicinity of the sources of those running into the Lakes, and they often do originate on the same lake or swamp, so that the communication from the Mississippi to the Lakes is rendered comparatively easy at various points. The greatest depression in the dividing ridge in the Territory is [undoubtedly] supposed to be at Fort Winnebago where the Wisconsin river approaches within half a mile of the Neenah, and where at times of high water canoes have actually passed across from one stream to the other. Some of the rivers are supplied from the Tamarack swamps from which the water takes a dark color.
