February 1835 - I have always dreamed of time traveling and I finally figured out how. The map on the left is from the original land survey of my neighborhood completed in February 1835. If you live in Wisconsin you can go on a fascinating virtual hike of your backyard by jumping in at http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/SurveyNotes/. Most townships have a general description and a listing of trees along the survey lines of each section. I took my online hike to help decide which trees we would plant in our yard to best match the natural vegetation that would have been here. We chose Swamp White Oak, Basswood and White Cedar.
