----------------------+--------+--------+------------------------------
[1] The road from Tucson is over a level mesa till it descends into a
cañon, where the Cienega begins. There are several steep hills in the
next few miles.
The banks of the San Pedro are high and steep, and about ten yards
apart.
[2] In winter it is necessary to take the right fork to avoid Eureka
Springs and the Cienega, just beyond it, which are then impassable.
This road joins the one by Eureka Springs about a mile beyond the
spring.
[3] In summer the creek is dry at this point, but water can always be
found by descending the creek half a mile.

[1] Half a mile further the road forks to the left, to Camp Goodwin.
The grasses in Arizona nearly all come up from the root, unlike those
of California, which grow from the seed. Therefore, in Arizona, if
there should be a year without rain, stock would not die of starvation.
The nutritious gramma grass does not appear to run to seed at all.

[1] The left fork crosses the Santa Cruz at Canoé, recrossing the
river near Tubac; (the measurement was made on this road). The right
fork does not cross the river, and is longer.
[2] Just beyond Smith’s Ranch, take the left fork to Camp Crittenden.
The main road goes into Sonora.
Between Tubac and Smith’s Ranch, there are ranches every few miles,
with water, grass, and wood.
Between Sonoita and Camp Crittenden, there are several ranches with
water and grass, but little wood.
Road to Tubac very hard and smooth; but very rough from there to
Crittenden, through Sonoita Cañon.

There is another road to Camp Goodwin, via San Simon, (seventeen and a

2d Crossing of | 1 | 540|| 54 |1213|Here we were unable to effect a

| | || | | is very rocky, thence good.
| | || | | Beaver Creek is a large stream
| | || | | of permanent water, rocky bed,
| | || | | banks low, crossing good, grass
| | || | | fair, plenty wood.
Rio Verde. | 12 |1121||234 | 806|Road good for 10 miles, thence
| | || | | hilly to crossing. Rio Verde 80
| | || | | feet wide, gravel bed, good

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

The trail used from Cascades on Colorado Chiquito to wagon road is
perfectly practicable for wagon; hence good mail-road to Prescott.
