 of Brown Lake drains a wide area of land, but there is considerable wet 

 land along this valley that the present ditch does not drain. Two other

 river runs a little south of west about iy 2 miles into "the Dam," a pond 

 on the line between sections 18 and 19, so that it is in the S. E. % Sec.

 by a dam about 10 feet high. It is shallow and abounds with vegetation. 

 From "the Dam" the river flows westerly and northwesterly through Keiser 

 Lake, small and shallow, into the Backwater, a shallow body of water 

 occupying a large part of the south half of Sec. 13, Town. 33 N., Range
