The village of Taycheda situated near the south east angle of Lake Winnebago, has sprung up within a few years, and now bids fair to [outstrip?] all the other places in the county. An extensive merchantile establishment, tavern, and numerous handsome dwellings, with several mechanics shops, constitute the entire town.

Waupun Embraces townships fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen in ranges fourteen and fifteen, being eighteen miles long and twelve wide. The centre of this town appears to be a summit from which streams of water descend in all directions. The land is of good quality and well supplied with timbered and prairie land. At the place usually known as Waupun on the United States road eighteen miles from Fond du Lac and eighteen miles south east from Green Lake, there is a saw mill, on Doty's river, and some twelve or fifteen families. This stream rises a few miles north of Fox Lake and running almost due east enters Rock river one mile below at Waupun.
