Milwaukee County

The Mequanigo Lake is an expansion of the Pishtaka river, near the village of Mequanigo, one and a half miles long, and half a mile wide: it lies principally within an extensive marsh.

Mouse Lake, so called, probably, from its diminutive size, is one of the Oconomowoc group, one and three fourths miles in circumference, fifty three chains long, and occupying one hundred acres of surface. It lies near the Kanchee.

Monish Lake lies one mile south west from Muskego Lake. It is a small lake, forming the source of a branch of Muskego creek.

Muskego is one of the largest lakes in the county occupying three thousand one hundred and sixty acres or nearly five sections; it is three and seven eighths miles long, two wide, and eleven miles around. It discharges its waters through Muskego creek, into the Pishtaka at Rochester in Racine county.
