An account from the chapter on Whitewater 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 600 specimens collected within 10 miles of White Water Park between 1835 and 1975: 295 Animalia, 231 Fungi, 71 Plantae, 2 Unrecorded, 1 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. P. Morgan, A. R. Gaufin, A.P. Morgan 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.
