	Otsego County, Michigan
		Otsego County occupies the highest lands of the great central plateau of Northern Michigan, comprising the main watershed that sends the headwaters of the Cheboygan River toward the North, the Au Sable toward the East and the Manistee toward the West.
		Otsego County was one of the last counties opened for settlement due to problems of inaccessibility.
		Within three years the Otsego area had progressed to the point that it could organize itself as a county and on March 12, 1875 Otsego Lake Township detached itself from Antrim County and organized into the County of Otsego.

	Light Upon the Glimmerglass: Cooper and the American Landscape Painters of Otsego Lake
		Any study of Cooper's Otsego Lake landscapes would be incomplete however, without an acknowledgement of their historical context and a comparison to the works of prominent American artists who also chose to depict the lake in their works of art.
		While there is a sense of solitude and private enjoyment of the lake in the figure of the fisherman walking along the path, the implication of the presence of other people in the boats on the lake and the village in the distance clearly indicates a sharing of the natural beauty of the area.
		Its dominion over the lake is indisputable, however, as two of its spires pierce the horizon, a column of smoke rises from the right, and a number of sailing and other vessels dot the lake from the shores of the village nearly up to the Point.

	Cooper's Inheritance: The Otsego Country and its Founders
		OTSEGO COUNTY, which was largely settled through the efforts of that genius in land speculation William Cooper, and which was Fenimore Cooper's home in boyhood and later life and the setting for some of his best-remembered books, lies, buskin-shaped, in east central New York State.
		Going down the lake, Evans noted that "the seat of the late Col. Croghan" was "now burnt and entirely destroyed," and observed that "This youthful state of the Sasquehanna affords a very indifferent navigation." At the mouth of Cherry Valley Creek (now the village of Milford), he reported that "one Carr" was in possession.
		When a famine threatened to wipe out the Otsego settlement in the spring of 1789, he contrived a method of catching shoals of herring in the Susquehanna, and obtained from the legislature money to buy 1,700 bushels of corn, which was brought in by horseback and distributed to families according to their size.

		Should this reauthorization of the Clean Lakes Program be enacted into law, as Boehlert is attempting, Otsego Lake would be on a national list of 15 "priority lakes" in line to receive federal assistance from a $250 million clean water fund over the next five years.
		Boehlert said the action adding Otsego Lake to the priority lakes list was favorable to his Subcommittee colleagues because they heard first hand about the importance of Otsego Lake to Otsego County, the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, and the nation during a rare field hearing held by Boehlert's Subcommittee Oct. 18, 1999 in Cooperstown.
		Projects to help protect the lake under the Clean Lakes Program could include water monitoring and research at the site, strategies to limit nutrient loadings, eliminating harmful aquatic growth that is choking parts of the lake, and restoring habitat critical to many species of fish.
