ngs where there are good camps, and
crosses several trails which lead from California to New
Mexico.
17-1/2. Media Creek.--At two miles the road passes the dividing
ridge between the waters of Salt Lake and Green River;
thence two miles' descent to Shipley Creek, where is a good
camp. For about a mile the road is rough, but then descends
into an open plain where the road is good. The ground is
rough about the camp, and covered with sage and greasewood.
Two miles up the creek, near the canon, is some grass, but
it is not abundant here.
19-3/4. St. Raphael Creek.--Road passes a rolling section for 5
miles; thence 1-1/2 mile to Garamboyer Creek, where there is
a good camp; thence, with the exception of a short distance,
the road is good to the Knobs, 9 miles, when it is broken
for 4-1/2 miles. Good camp.
11-3/4. San Matio Creek.--For 3 miles the road is over a rolling
section, with steep hills, to a creek, where is a good camp;
thence, for 3 miles along the creek, soft soil and heavy
road; thence 5 miles to another creek, some grass, but not
plenty; thence to camp the road is rough in places. Good
camp.
14-1/4. In the Hills.--Road runs over a rolling country 2-1/2
miles to San Marcos, or Tanoje Creek, where there is good
grass and water, with sage. Two miles farther over a
gravelly road, then a good plain road for 9-3/4 miles to
camp. Good wood, water, and grass.
23. Spring.--Road for the first ten miles is rocky, when it
strikes a spring, where there is a good camp; thence 2 miles
to water in a tank, not permanent; thence the road is on a
ridge for 6 miles, and is good; thence 3 miles the road is
sandy. The spring at camp is large, with plenty of wood, but
the grass is scarce. Down the creek it is more abundant.
18. Green River.--For 5 miles the road is sandy; thence the road
is good for the remainder of the distance to camp, where
there is plenty of wood, water, and grass.
13. 13-Mile Spring.--Green River can be forded at ordinary
stages. Road runs among several arroyas for a few miles, and
is then straight and good to camp. Good grass a mile to the
east of camp.
An Arroya.--Road runs between
