Excerpt from The American Journal of Science and Arts, Vol. 30: July, 1836

Art. I. Geological and Miscellaneous notice of the region around Fort Winnebago, Michigan Territory; by Lieut. D. Ruggles, of the U. S. army.

Fort Winnebago is situated 43¾° N. lat. and 12° W. Ion. from Washington. The general character of the country is secondary; and the soil within the section this survey contemplates, varies between calcareous, argillaceous and siliceous. The most striking features are the various combinations of water, marsh and upland, which, perhaps, render this particular spot as interesting to the geologist, as any equal portion of a country but partially explored.

Here is a summit level from whose sources the waters of the St. Lawrence and Mississippi flow to the extremes of our republic.
