In this paper it is proved that
every topological lattice on the two-cell is topologically isomorphic (iseomorphic) to a
sublattice of the product lattice I × I. An explicit description of the compact
connected sublattices of I × I containing (0,0) and (1, 1) is given. These results,
together with a theorem of A. D. Wallace, yield a characterization of all
compact connected lattices in the plane: each is iseomorphic to a sublattice of
I × I.
