14. Fort Belknap.--Good road through post-oak timber. County seat and town at Fort Belknap. Good camp on the west side of the Brazos, which is always fordable except in very high water. 14. Small Branch.--Water in holes. 18. Water-holes.--Pools of water. Road passes over prairie and timbered lands, is very smooth and level. 7-1/2. Stem's Farm, on Clear Fork of the Brazos River.--Good road; excellent camp, with abundance of wood, water, and grass. Indian reservation here. 13. Elm Creek, or Qua-qua-ho-no.--Good road over rolling prairie and mesquite lands. 17. Ravine.--Pools of standing water. Good road. 18. Ravine.--Pools of standing water. Good road. 27. Small Creek.--Tributary of the Brazos. Good road. 6. Pools of Water.--Good camp. 8-1/2. Small Branch.--Good water. 20-1/2. Tributary of the Colorado.--Brackish water. 3-1/4. Rio Colorado.--Brackish water. Road very excellent. 12-1/10. Spring on the Road.--Good water. 22-9/10. Big spring to the left of the road, affording a great amount of water, which runs off in a small stream. 23. Laguna Colorado.--Water somewhat sulphurous; fuel mesquite roots; grass abundant. 35. Mustang Pond.--This pond is north of the road about two miles, and was found in 1849, but emigrants and others have not been able to find it since. For this reason I would advise travelers to fill their water-kegs at the Laguna Colorado, as in a very dry season they might not be able to get any water until they reach the Sand Hills. The road is excellent over the "Llano Estacado," or Staked Plain. 34-1/2. Sand Hills.--Water in holes. The water is good here, and can always be relied on as permanent. The road through the Sand Hills is very heavy, and I would advise travelers with loaded wagons to make half loads. 31-1/2. Laguna near the Pecos River.--Road passes through the hills, and descends the high prairie to the valley of the Pecos. Laguna on the left. 15-5/8. Crossing of Pecos.--Water deep and not fordable; river 42 yards wide. A road leads up the eastern bank of the Pecos to a ford with rock bottom. Good camps can be had at almost any point on the Pecos. The water is brackish, but can be used without harm. 54-1/2. Pecos River.--Point of the river where the road turns off toward Delaware Creek. 9-1/8. Delaware Creek.--Good road after leaving the Pecos River. The road on the Pecos is good in the bottom in very dry weather, but after heavy rains it is submerged and very muddy. Travelers should then turn off to the bluffs. The water in Delaware Creek is brackish. 11-7/8. Ojo de San Martin.--Fine spring of fresh water, also mineral spring. Good road up Delaware Creek.
