p. 169178 Brown County Brown county is bounded on the north and east by the line between Wisconsin and the state of Michigan; on the south by the counties of Manitowoc, [Fon du Lac] Calumet, and Winnebago; and on the west by Portage; or the boundaries may be traced more accurately as follows: beginning on the Neenah river, on the line between ranges nine and ten west, on Buffalo lake, and running thence north to the territorial boundary; thence east and south, along said boundary to the line between townships twenty and twenty one, extended to the middle of Lake Michigan; thence west to the north west corner of Winnebago; thence south to the Neenah; [river] thence up that river to the place of beginning. It is impossible to estimate the area of this county with any degree of certainty on account of the territorial line between Wisconsin and Michigan not having been finally established; and for the want of an accurate survey of this part of the Territory. Brown county was organized by an act of the Legislature of Michigan passed October 16th 101 | p. 169178 Brown County Brown county is bounded on the north and east by the line between Wisconsin and the state of Michigan; on the south by the counties of Manitowoc, [Fon du Lac] Calumet, and Winnebago; and on the west by Portage; or the boundaries may be traced more accurately as follows: beginning on the Neenah river, on the line between ranges nine and ten west, on Buffalo lake, and running thence north to the territorial boundary; thence east and south, along said boundary to the line between townships twenty and twenty one, extended to the middle of Lake Michigan; thence west to the north west corner of Winnebago; thence south to the Neenah; [river] thence up that river to the place of beginning.
