Remarks. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Road and country have been improving since going to the river; the country is covered with post-oak timber, mostly of large growth. — Grazing fair. — Indians were here yesterday stealing stock. Pedernales river is 100 feet wide, 3 feet deep, crossing good. Three miles from Grape Creek the road passes a lake 200 yards wide, within 50 yards from the road; — and 2 miles from Grape Creek it runs within 200 yards of the river. The country is well timbered, roads good. Grape Creek is 40 feet wide, 1 1/2 foot deep, good crossing, gravel bottom, road good. Creek 10 feet wide, 1 foot deep; very bad crossing for wagons.

Two miles from Williamson's Creek the road runs near the Pedernales river and keeps along its bank for 13 miles; — country heavily timbered. Williamsons Creek is 40 feet wide and 2 feet deep, crossing good. Rolling country and good roads, grazing good; low post-oak through the country. — _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The road has been very rough and heavy in some places, 7 wagons stalled, 2 were upset; passed several houses and cornfields.— Grazing and water good, wood scarce. Limestone lies deeper, appearing only in bed of streams. Rocky Creek is 50 feet wide, 15 inches deep. Crossing of Flat Creek No. 2. swampy and boggy on banks, but its bed is solid limestone. The country rises continually to a high ridge; the road is most of the way good, but rocky in some places and swampy and boggy in others. The crossing of the small brooks is bad. The road runs into Millers Creek and up the bed about 1000 yards, then up a steep boggy bank;— road boggy for about 1/2 mile. The wagons went off the road through a cornfield; passed several boggy holes.— Millers, Middle & Yagers Creek, all evidently flow into the Pedernales river.
