New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1861-12-19

The general character of which appears
from the description given by the Deputy Sur
veyors, to be that of grazing country, gener.
ally high, rolling prairie; nearly every section
well watered; the sol along the water-cOurses
is very rich, but liable to overflow. Big Sioux
River is represented as fine, clear stream,
navigable for small steamers. May of the
small valleys are represented as very beautiful.
The only drawback mentioned is the scarcity
of timber. Although the inducements are
great, there have been as yet no settlements
In any of the above-naned townships.
