Footnote

24 Field Notes, 3, 11. A small creek flows into the Lyday survey and
joins Sulphur River on the north side. A short distance below the mouth
of that creek (or one at least similarly located) Major Stell's plat shows
the crossing of the National Road on Sulphur River. Trigonometric cal-
culations from the field notes do not show the distance from this crossing
to the point where the old road crossed Tollett Creek (Early's Creek in
the field notes) so exactly as do the measurements on modern maps, but
the discrepancy is small.
