CHEBOYGAN RIVER. 



This is a large stream, the outlet of several large lakes, into which the 

 head branches of the stream flow, forming at the outlet of Cheboygan 

 Lake, and from thence to the mouth, a broad, deep stream, which termi- 

 nates .in a natural harbor or bay on the Straits of Mackinaw. At this 

 point, a few years since, the TJ. S. Land Office was located. The place 

 was called Duncan, from the Proprietor, who owned a large mill, and for 

 several years carried on the lumbering business. The timber for this mill 

 was principally obtained from the west branch of the Cheboygan river, 

 above Burts Lake, and the river was cleared as far up as the forks, near 

 the lands of this Company. The east or south branch, emptying into 

 cheboygon Lake, has not been cleared, bat both streams are capable of 

 floating logs from the highest point where the lands of this company are 

 located. 



The pine on both branches is generally of excellent quality, inter- 

 mixed with hard timber, and growing upon good soil. 



The following groups comprise all the lands of the company on the 

 waters of the Cheboygan.

LAKE MICHIGAN. 



The pine in this locality is along the shore of the Lake, west of 

 Mackinaw, and embraces some very good timber, which, when cut, may 

 be driven to the Lake through several streams, along which the pine is 



located. 



No lumbering has been done here, but the proximity of most of the 

 timber to the coast, will render it valuable in the future. 



The following groups embrace the lands of the company on the shore 

 of Lake Michigan, west of Mackinaw, including a few tracts on the islands 

 in St. Mary's River.
