Summary
This checked page from Field Note Volume 168138 is a page-level record in the 1847 federal survey of South Fox Island. It is headed T34N R13W and identifies South Fox Island in the survey sequence. Its observed terrain and vegetation entries make the original survey legible as evidence at the line level, rather than as a generalized island history.
Evidence and limits
The page records free sand with vegetable mould; beech, sugar, birch, aspen, cedar, and fir; gently rolling ground; ridges; and sand cliffs. Each statement is limited to the survey work and locations represented on this single 1847 page. It neither establishes ownership or occupancy nor describes current ecology, access, boundaries, or the whole island.
