15. "Port Neuf," or Rock Creek.--At 2-3/10 miles the road leaves Bear River near where it runs through a canon with high bluffs on each side. At this point the California and Fort Hall roads separate. The California road (called Hudspeth's Cut-off) then crosses a valley between the Bear River and Port Neuf River Mountains, 9 miles. No water from camp to camp. Good camp. 15. Marsh Creek.--About two miles above the main road the creek can be forded; a road leads to it from the descent into the valley. Road good; water and grass plenty; no wood. 16-1/5. Paunack Creek.--First part of the road is hilly; the remainder good. Good camp. 7-1/5. Mallade River.--At 7-1/5 miles the road crosses the Mallade River. Good camp 140 miles from Salt Lake City. Good road. 22-3/10. Small Creek.--The road ascends a ridge through a canon, and descends to a valley on the other side. From the camp to the summit of the ridge is 6-1/5 miles. The descent is 3-7/10 miles. It then crosses a valley 8 miles wide, and strikes a canon which leads to the top of a hill over a rough road. Plenty of wood, water, and grass at camp, but no water between this and the last camp. 9-3/5. Small Creek.--Road after five miles strikes a canon with a long but gentle ascent. Two miles from the entrance of this canon is a spring branch. There is wood and some grass and water at this place. 11-1/5. Spring Branch.--The road passes through a canon, and at 5 miles strikes the head of a spring branch, which it follows down 2-1/2 miles to the junction with a larger branch, which is bridged. At nine tenths of a mile another fork enters. Grass very fine here. Road follows down this across the main branch, and the camp is 2 miles below. Good camp. 18-1/2. Decassure Creek, or Raft River.--Road continues down the creek 2-3/10 miles, and crosses, then ascends by a steep hill to an elevated sage plain, leaving the creek at 11-4/5 miles, and passes a slough with water. Good camp. 17-9/10. Spring Branch.--The road crosses the creek near the last camp, and follows up a valley, crossing in five miles several spring branches. At 2-9/10 miles it crosses the creek again, and follows up the valley two miles farther, then crosses a high sage plain 8-9/10 miles long, when it strikes a spring 150 yards to the left of the road, where there is an excellent camp in a beautiful valley.
