Historic Name: Mile Post Zero-Treaty Tree Location: T42N-R36W Section 18 (point where Brule River leaves Brule Lake) Date established: 1840 Ownership: public History: As part of the settlement of the "Toledo War," between Michigan and Ohio, most of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan was granted to Michigan for the "Toledo Strip" which was granted to Ohio. Captain Thomas Cram, of the U.S. Corps of Topographical Engineers, conducted a reconnaissance exploration and established the Mile Corner Zero in 1840 and the route of the line in 1841. He made a treaty for passage with Chief Ca-Sha-O-Sha and his band of Ojibwa (Chippewa) near a large tamarack tree near the Mile Corner Zero at the Brule River. About this favorite lake and on its Islands, the Chief - Ca-sha-o-sha, takes up his summer residence; but on the approach of winter migrates with his Band towards the south - following the Deer for the winter hunt. Some of the hunters disperse themselves along down the Wiskonsin River and others down on the branch of the Menomonee called Mus-Kos Se-pe (Sepe is the Chippewa for river) can it also be: Cashauska Previously in 1840, during a state boundary reconnaissance survey by Captain Thomas J. Cram, a treaty between the U.S. Government and Ojibwa Tribe Chief Ca-sha-o-sha was scribed on birch bark at a meeting site on the bank of Lac Brule lake near a Tamarack tree, called the "Treaty Tree". During his state boundary survey, Mr. Burt also reportedly met with the Ojibwa tribe at the "Treaty Tree", commonly referred to since to be the 18" Tamarack that he had faced and scribed, but which is now marked by a capped concrete monument, as the blazed and scribed Tamarack stump was removed and is now displayed in a museum at Marquette, Michigan. 13 MILE POST ZERO & TREATY TREE Continue on Ottawa Lake Road 7 more miles.
