Four Lakes

Four Lakes (spr. Fohr Lehks), 4 unter einander zusammenhängende, sich von Nordwesten nach Südosten erstreckende Seen in der Grafschaft Dane im Staate Wisconsin (Nordamerika), die ihr Wasser in den Catfish-River ergießen. Der größte davon (der nordwestlichste, Fourth Lake genannt), ist 11/2 Ml. lang, 1 Ml. breit, 50–70 Fuß tief u. wird von Dampfbooten befahren, an dem zunächst kommenden (Third Lake), 11/2 Ml. lang, (Ml. breit) liegt Madison, die Hauptstadt des Staates Wisconsin; die beiden anderen (Second- u. First Lake) sind von geringerer Ausdehnung; die ganze Gegend um diese Seen herum ist fruchtbar.
