1830
Farmer's "Map of the Territories of Michigan and Ouisconsin" was published; it gave the river draining the four lakes as the "Goosh-ke-hawn," noted Lake Koshkonong ("the lake we live on"), and marked a Winnebago village at the mouth of that river.

The evidence
“On Farmer's "Map of the Territories of Michigan and Ouisconsin," published in 1830, the river which drains the four lakes, is given as the " Goosh-ke-hawn." Lake Koshkonong is noted as " the lake we live on," — evidently the meaning of Kuskanong, Koskonong, or, as now spelled, Koshkonong. On this map, a Winnebago village is noted at the mouth of the Gooshke-hawn (now Yahara, or Catfish).”
