The chapter on Calumet Town in The History of Fond Du Lac County, Wisconsin, published 1880 names Pipe. This is what it says, exactly as the scans read.
The town of Calumet, so called from the Menomonee Indian village ("Pipe") of the same name, formerly located on the northeast quarter of Section 27, is the northeast town of Fond du Lac County, and contains 19,146.91 acres of land, as follows : In Township 16 north, of Range 18 east, 2,307.56 acres ; in Township 17 north, of Range 18 east, 4,742.13 acres ; in Township 17 north, of Range 19 east, 12,097.22 acres ; total 19,146.91 acres. It is bounded on the north by Calumet County ; on the east by the same county and the town of Marshfield in Fond du Lac County ; on the south by the towns of Marshfield and Taycheedah, and on the west by Winnebago Lake.

Deputy Surveyor A. G. Ellis, in speaking of the northwestei'n portion of what is now the town of Calumet (fractional Township 17 north, in Range 18 east), says : " This fractional township must be considered as first-rate and valuable land. It consists almost wholly of extensive oak openings and dry and wet prairies. The soil is first rate - a mixture of red loam and black sand. Its position (east side and above the center of Winnebago Lake) gives it an additional value. The stream entering [the lake] at [a little distance southwest of] ' Pipe Village,' though small and barred at the mouth, is nevertheless larjie enough for a harbor for boats ; and a small pier at the mouth would deepen the water so that it might be entered. The banks are high and beautiful, and ' Pipe Village ' is a beautiful site." This was written upon the spot over a year before there was a white settler in Fond du Lac County.
