-
- View is to north on Verdigre Creek from bridge at Verdigre (town)
-
- Views Verdigre town park called “Wildwood”. Burr Oak grove. Some of the Burr Oaks were likely here when tribe camped (May 20)

-
- View to south from shoulder of Hwy 14. Tribe did not go straight south to Neligh. Why? 1) Steep hill ahead – hand pull for wagon teams? 2) No water on this road to Neligh? 3) No good camp site
-
- So angled southeast to Creighton—good water at Creighton (Bazile Creek) and probably followed near railroad grade which gently links side creek to Creighton.

- Blacktop is on old railroad grade or beside
-
- View south to “Council Hill” on left side of gravel road. How did they go from Creighton to Neligh—diagonal southwest cross country? Easy ground although sandy in places.
