Withee (town), Wisconsin

The six mile square that would become the town of Withee was first surveyed in the summer of 1847 by a crew working for the U.S. government.

Then in late 1853 another crew marked all the section corners in the township, walking through the woods and swamps, measuring with chain and compass.

Small Swamps and many of considerable extent most of which are Tamarac though some of them are Timbered with Spruce Alder and Black Ash most of which are unfit for cultivation The Swamps are situated mostly in the North part of the Township the Surface of the Township is mostly level Soil 2nd & 3rd rate in the South part of the Township it is generally good 2nd rate and generally well adapted for farming purposes The Timber on the South 1/2 of the Township is principally Linden White Pine & Sugar tree On the North 1/2 it is principally Hemlock & White Pine (the White Pine is of good quality) There are no Settlers in the Township.

The racial makeup of the town was 99.66% White, 0.11% Native American, 0.11% Asian, and 0.11% from two or more races.

A large percentage of the population relies on farming or agriculture-related work.
