Buena Vista County Census
1870 Agricultural Census, Lee Twp.
In 1870 Lee Twp. was still quite rugged. Although settled longer than most of the other areas of the county, it was forested and the land difficult to "prove up," which accounted for the large amount of unimproved land in this township. This census was taken July 28th and 29th, 1870.
