                              CHAPTER XXI
                           VICTORIA TOWNSHIP

        This townsbip lies in the southeastern corner of Cass, and is
     bounded upon the north by Massena township, with Adair county on the
     east, Adams on the south, and Edna township on the west. It is a full
     congressional sub-division, known as township 74, range 34, comprising
     about 23,040 acres, which is well known throughout the county as rich
     and very productive soil.  The township is quite well watered by num-
     erous small creeks and branches of the West Nodaway, which flows
     through sections 6 and 7, in the northwest corner of the township.
     There is but very little timber of natural growth found within the
     borders of Victoria, but a large number of artificial groves are being
     developed by her citizens.  The character of the land is generally
     rolling. This territory, which, less than twenty years ago, not a
     house could be seen in all the vast expanse of prairie land, is at
     present a well-settled district, which can boast of as fine farms and
     spacious buildings, as any in the county.
