large extent of flat land around the town with water. Below the falls, a short distance, is a spring and branch, and within 500 yards a small creek; - within half a mile the land becomes level and spreads out on this side two miles, including the flats of Wol,lau,hat,che. A creek 10 feet wide which rises 17 miles from its junction with the river in the high pine forest & running S.S.E. enters the river 3 miles below the town house. The whole of this flat between the creek & the river bordering on the town is covered with oak & small hard shelled hickory - the trees all small - the land light & fine for corn, cotton, or melons. The creek has a little cane on its margins & reed on the small branches, but the range is much exhausted by the state of the town. On the left bank of the river at the falls the land is broken pine forest. Half a mile below, there is a small creek which has its source 7 miles from the river; its margins covered with reed or cane. Below the creek the land becomes flat & continues so to Talesee in the Eu,fau,be and 1/2 a mile still lower to the hills between this creek & Ca,le,be,hat,che. The hills extend nearly two miles - are intersected by one small creek &? two branches - and terminate on the river in two high bluffs; from whence is an extensive view of the town, the river, the flat lands on the opposite shore, and a range of hills to the N.W. Near one of the bluffs there is a fine spring, and near it, a beautiful elevated situation for a settlement. The hills are bounded to the W. by a small branch?. Below
