[48] Mr. Draper suggests that this may have been near Enterprise, Wayne County, in keeping with the idea that the route here described was the route that Clark followed. The most definite point known on Volney's route west of the Embarras was the Salt Spring, above mentioned, and this was on the more northerly route which crossed the Little Wabash east of Clay City. Slaves Gibbet must therefore have been just east of Xenia. [49] Probably Harvey's Point, six or eight miles southeast of Salem. [50] Skillet Creek. [51] At the crossing of "Petit Fork"--Adams tributary of Skillet. [52] Near Walnut Hill. [53] Perhaps on head of Big Muddy in Grand Prairie. [54] There seem to have been two old-time routes around Grand Prairie; the points of junction seem to have been in Grand Prairie and Elkhorn Prairie. Pointe aux Fesses is identified as Elkhorn Point, northeast of Oakdale. [55] In Grand Prairie. [56] See note 54. [57] Oakdale. [58] Coultersville. [59] Northwest of Steel's Mills. [60] Mr. Draper reduces these estimates to "probabilities," giving as the total distance 156 miles (_Draper MSS._, xxv J, fol. 49). [61] This point of junction is eighteen miles east of Salem, which is given as the point of junction on Mr. English's map of Clark's route.--_Conquest of the Northwest_, vol. i, pp. 290, 291. Salem is the junction of the modern route from Kaskaskia with the St. Louis Trace. [62] Additional testimony to the same effect is found in _Draper MSS._, xxv J, fol. 76. [63] Evans's _History of Scioto County and Pioneer Record of Southern Ohio_ contains the best map of western Ohio extant. [64] _Historic Highways of America_, vol. vi, p. 166. [65] Josiah Morrow, to whom the author is indebted for much help in the study of Harmar's route, affirms that in the land records of Warren County he has found reference to this as "Clark's old war-road."
