I sent this sketch map to Bent to get him to locate on it certain places mentioned in his narrative. He noted, with pen and ink, the following items --- 1. Southwest corner of map: Ft. Lyon and "Indian trail made by Lodge Poles" running from the fort n-e across Sand Creek and on to the head of Smoky Hill river. 2. "Battle Sand Creek 1864" on Sand Creek at the point where the trail crosses. 3. At west edge of map near upper Rush Creek; "Fine spring here of Water ran into Black Lakes. Wild Horses ranged here." The Black Lakes were where the Cheyennes went to run wild horses about 1828, 100 years ago. The lake, or lakes, are often mentioned in the Cheyennes stories about wild horses and about Bull Hump the Comanche chief. 4. On White Woman's Creek in southeast corner: "White Woman was Captured Mouth of this Creek 1868." He told me that was how the creek got its name. 5. The points on Sand Creek where running water is marked are numbered L and 2. I suggested to Bent that one of these points was the location of Black Kettle's camp; but he said no and marked the camp where shown on the map. George E. Hyde. October, 1928.
