There are [eleven] ten small lakes in Jefferson County besides the two larger ones (Koshkonong & Rock) already described.

Ripley Lake, in Oakland, occupies parts of sections five six and seven, is a mile and a half long and occupies an area of four hundred and ninety three acres. The coast line around it is four miles and three eighths.

Red Cedar Lake lies one mile south of Ripley Lake, one and a fourth miles long, five and a fourth around, has a very irregular form, and covers an area of five hundred and nine acres. It discharges its waters into Lake Koshkonong.

Cranberry Lake is in sections [fifteen sixteen] twenty two, twenty three, & twenty seven, in township seven and range sixteen; about which an abundance of cranberries were found when surveying the canal through this region.

[Gold Lake lies on the county line between Milwaukee and Jefferson-two miles east of Cranberry Lake, and is described in this work page 143].
