The modern record here
2 settlementsWhat the federal record holds for each settlement inside this town: 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baldwins Mill | 141 | - | 4 | - |
| Royalton | 119 | 2 | 1 | - |

The chapter
77 wordsReproduced complete and unedited from History of Waupaca County, Wisconsin, published 1890.
