September 5, 1825 Campsite of the Survey Team. This campsite would have been located closer to the Arkansas River. From the field notes of this survey it states; "South bend of the Arkansas river. Here is the first rock bluff seen on the river." There is a rock bluff just to the southwest of the marker location on the river. The river at this location is just out of the photo and about a half mile to the south of the marker on the southwest corner of the intersection in the photo.
