The modern record here
4 settlementsWhat the federal record holds for each settlement inside this township: wildfires and storm reports since the 1950s, mineral workings, and museum specimens collected nearby. These are counted within a few miles of each settlement, so neighbours share them and the columns are deliberately not added up. Every row links to the settlement's own page, where each figure is broken out.
| Settlement | Fires | Storm reports | Mines and quarries | Specimens |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ontario | 1 | 3 | 2 | - |
| River Oaks | 1 | - | 2 | - |
| Star Mill | 3 | - | 1 | - |
| Twin Lakes | 5 | - | - | - |

The chapter
448 wordsReproduced complete and unedited from Illustrated Historical Atlas of LaGrange County, Indiana., published 1874. The text is machine-read from scans, so expect recognition errors: misspelled names, dropped words, and stray characters. Nothing has been corrected, because correcting a proper name invents one. The headings below are the books' own; source changes are labelled in place.
