/>to be depended on, especially with respect to a
country so uncivilized, the following sketch,
taken from maps, may convey no bad notion of
the locality of the committee’s labours.

Muskingum river runs from N. to S. and falls
into the Ohio in about 81.40 West longitude.

Tuskarawas (supposing it to be the Tuscaroras
of the maps), is a small stream in the limits of
Pennsylvania, which falls into the Junietta, a
branch of the Susquehannah.

Sandusky

is an Indian settlement, on a river
of the same name that has a N.E. course, and
empties itself into a small arm of lake Erie, near
its western end, about 82.50 W. lon.

Miami is the name of three rivers in this
country. That which concerns the account is
Miami of the lakes, which running nearly from S.
to N. a course of apparently 150 miles, falls into
lake Erie, about 50 miles W. of Sandusky

.
On this river, where, as the term is, it forks,
is Fort-Wayne.

The Wabash seems a long and crooked river.
One of its sources is S. of Fort-Wayne

; the
stream from which is doubtless the Wabash, near
which the agricultural examples have been felt,
as related in the account. The Ohio receives
the waters the Wabash, not far from the 88th
degree of W. longitude.
