TOWNSHIP 64-13. 



The North Arm of Burntside lake extends four miles north- 

 easterly from the main lake into sections 25 and 26 of this town- 

 ship and two streams furnish opportunity for winter roads from 

 sections 24 and 25. Several small creeks flow off the high ground 

 in section 34 into the North Arm. The rocky ridge between 

 Burntside and Slim lakes rises more than 100 feet above the level 

 of the former lake, but is cut through by a stream in section 26 

 which connects the two lakes with a fall of about 50 feet. Slim 

 lake is a long, narrow sheet of water, 3 miles in length and vary- 

 ing up to a half mile in width, with high rocky shores. Profile 

 lake is separated from Slim by a narrow neck of land and is 

 drained into it by a small rapid stream flowing through a de- 

 pression in section 14. 



Horseshoe lake lying in sections 15, 16, 21 and 22, drains 

 into Rice lake in section 8 by a large stream partly navigable for 

 canoes. A sud or floating bog obscures its entrance into Rice 

 lake. Rice lake in sections 7, 8, 17 and 18, drains all the west 

 central part of the township and is emptied by a large stream 

 flowing to the north. There is a short rapids on this stream in 

 section 8, otherwise it is navigable for canoes and logs. It flows 

 through an open marsh in section 5 and 8, into Lake Lapona, 

 from which a large navigable stream of strong current flows 

 north. Big Lake lying mainly in Township 65-13 reaches down 

 into sections 3 and 4 and drains all the northeast part of Town- 

 ship 64-13. 



The southwest part is drained by Twin lakes through Sabawa 

 lake into Cameron river in section 31, the connecting stream 

 being navigable for canoes over most of the course. 



All the streams which have been mentioned here as navigable 

 or partly navigable for canoes are also navigable for logs or 

 capable of improvement for that purpose. 



Township 63-14 divides naturally into four logging districts 

 which we may designate the Tamarack creek, Crab lake, Cam- 

 eron valley, and west slope districts. Township 64-13 divides 

 into five districts : Sections 24 and 25 with landing on Burntside 

 lake ; east slope in sections 27, 28, 33 and 34, landing on Burnt- 

 side lake ; Twin lakes driving west to Clear lake ; sections 10, 15, 

 31, 22, 27, 28 and 34, landing on Slim lake and driving to Burnt-
