<blockquote>''This Township is composed of Hardwood Ridges and [[Tsuga canadensis|Hemlock]], [[Larix laricina|Tamarac]], and [[Fraxinus nigra|Black Ash]] swamps. All of the swamps are unfit for cultivation although if cleared the Hemlock swamps would produce grass. The surface is level; the Hardwood ridges are but little elevated above the swamps on which the soil is first and second rate. This Township is Heavily timbered chiefly with Hemlock, [[Betula alleghaniensis|Yellow Birch]], [[Acer saccharum|Sugar Maple]], [[American Linden|Lin]](?) and [[Ulmus thomasii|Rock Elm]]: also considerable [[Eastern White Pine|White Pine]] scattered(?) over the Township. There are numerous(?) small creeks in the Township generally lined with [[alder]]s and some of them have small mashes on them which afford good Hay(?). No improvements in the Township. On the East side of the township exists pretty strong local attraction''<ref>{{cite web|last=Hicks|first=S.
