(extract for Cheboygan County)



                         SHEBOYGAN (sic) COUNTY
                         
              This county is situated north on the lower
            peninsula, and is bounded north by the straits
            of Mackinac, east by Presqueisle County, south
            by Montgomery (sic - Montmorency) and Otsego
            counties, and west by Charlevoix and Emmet
            counties. It contains 324 square miles. It is
            traversed by Sheboygan (sic) and Black rivers,
            which expand and form several lakes in the
            county, viz., Mullett, Burt, Sheboygan, and
            Jenk's lake. These streams flow in a northerly
            direction, and empty into Mackinac straits 
            opposite Bois Blanc Island. There are several
            salt springs 15 miles from the mouth of the
            Sheboygan river. There are vast quantities of
            timber and lumber manufactured and shipped
            here for ports on the St. Lawrence and ports
            westward. The county has been organized since
            1850.
