This is another map I sent to Bent. He has marked on it the camp after Sand Cr and trail from that lamp n-e to the North Smoky Hill, then n-w to Cherry Cr. I made a note on the map asking him if the Cherry Cr marked was the one where the camp was when they went to barn Jules-burg; he marked the camp on that stream and wrote a note to tell me this was the creek where they camped He then continues the trail north from Cherry Cr to the Platte. He should have marked another camp on White Butte Cr between Cherry Cr and the Platte, but was in much doubt as to what stream was White Butte Cr. I think it was Sandy Creek; Grinnell thinks it was Whiteman's Fork. I have been told by ranchers who live in that distruct today that there is a big white butte there that can be seen 25 ms away, but these ranchers are dumber than Indians and cannot locate the butte on a map. Bent was only in this locality on this one occasion and always showed considerable doubt as to the location of Cherry Cr and White Butte Cr.
