An account from the chapter on Pleasant township, in the words of 1881.

The county history of 1881 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

Museums hold 269 specimens collected within 10 miles of Sylvan Shores between 1914 and 1974: 269 Animalia. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by B. Montgomery, L. Alward & P. Alward, Binkley, L. E. (Lowell), David G. Furth and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
