345 Calumet Co.

This county embraces the Stockbridge and Brothertown Indian reservations, whose farms [substantial] with their meat houses [and] substantial fences and well cultivated field will compare favrably with those belonging other farmers of this country. They constitute a majority of the inhabitants of the county.

A high rocky ridge runs through the county nearly parallel with the lake shore, from the east side of which the Sheboygan and Manitowoc rivers take their rise; and through one or other of these valleys, a very direct communication may at no distant day be opened with Lake Michigan, by the construction of a rail road or canal. The soil in this county is rich and well covered with timber of which bass-wood constitutes an unusually large proportion. The rocks found in place are limestone and occasionally sandstone; and there are said to be some indications of coal. The scenery, especially about the Lake is described as very beautiful & picturesque.
