Road from Virgin to Mountain Spring generally good.
From Moqui-Pueblos trail to Cascades and from Cosnino Tanks distances
were taken from map, and for road distances (though correction was
made) are probably too small.
The trail used from Cascades on Colorado Chiquito to wagon road is
perfectly practicable for wagon; hence good mail-road to Prescott.
Good camping ground at crossing of Muddy Cañon, between Fort Rock and
Oaks and Willows.
Road from Mineral Park good.
Road from Cerbat sandy.
Road from Beale’s Spring good; abandoned military post.
Road from Cottonwoods good. Mineral Park and Cerbat are both situated
about one mile east of road from Chloride City to Beale’s Spring.
To Navajo Springs, good made road round springs; excellent to Limestone
Pockets and beyond, till it passes divide, when it becomes sandy.
From Navajo Springs to Moqui-Pueblos trail, good road, following arroyo.
Camp Wallen, (abandoned) A. T., to Guaymas, Mexico.
