Inscription Text: 
I drew this map years ago when first trying to locate Bent's Fort and other places, and sent it to George Bent. He has marked on it in black ink: "Bent's Fort" on n. bak Arkansas R., opp. mouth of Rile Cr. (Wrong location: he later corrected it.) 2. On South bank Arkansas, from Mud Cr to C1ay Cr. "Apaches buried." This is the bluff in which the Prairie-Apaches buried their people in holes after an epidemic. I Think Mr. Grinnell records the date and details in one of his books. 3. "Bitter Lake" at a point due north of Bent's New Fort. 4. "Black Lake" at the head of Wild Horse Cr, east of Sand Cr. (I think both these locations are wrong, but the Cheyennes are rather mixed up about these lakes. I think Bent marked them where he did because the streams nearby are called Wild Horse Cr, These lakes are where the Cheyennes hunted wild horses about 1828. George E. Hyde.
