AUDIT ROW #430 · PINE AND POTATO CREEKS STAND PARTLY · THE DRAIN REGISTER IS THE SETTLER

Every named water of the township, as the record stands: the Kankakee (bounding), Pine Creek (the townsite's), Potato Creek (the southern), and then the legal drains — the named ditches of the county surveyor's register, which on drained marsh-edge ground are the working hydrology and the least-read record.The buried-and-culverted limb — the creek reaches the town has covered inside its streets — is printed as untested at record strength: no culvert inventory for the town was reached, and the settler named covers both limbs at once: the St. Joseph County Surveyor's regulated-drain register, which lists the legal drains by name, course, and maintenance assessment, is the document from which a complete named-waters list for Lincoln Township is built. The row closes mixed — the natural waters enrolled, the ditch names open under the register.

Principal sources: The Land (the creeks' standing record), pointed to; settler named — St. Joseph County Surveyor, regulated-drain register.
