Dawes Creek A trubutary of Hemlock Cr. It rises in secs 33 and 34, Arpin Township, SE of Powers Bluff, and flows S and SW through Hansen Township, joining Hemlock Cr in NE sec 33.

On March 23, 1872, a new town of Dexter was established, including only T22N, R2E; this was vacated on April 25,1884. A third town of Dexter, including present Dexter and Hiles townships, was established on Feb 13,1901, and reduced to the present boundaries of T22N, R3E on Nov 15, 1901, effective in April, 1902; at this time the name was changed to New Dexter Township: it was changed back to Dexter Township on May 6,1902. According to tradition , Dexterville was named by George Hiles after Dexter, his balky, white mule. The township name would appear to come from the same source. However, it is noteworthy that Hiles' birthplace, Farmingham, Mich, is only about thirty miles from the village of Dexter, Mich-platted in 1830-and Dexter Township, which held its first town meeting on May 28, 1827. Hence, it is possible that the Wood Co Township is named for either of these places, and that Dexterville PO-established a few months after Dexter Township was organized- is actually named for the township.
