MULBERRY CREEK
CONFLUENCE WITH THE ARKANSAS RIVER
South of this point is the confluence of Mulberry Creek and the Arkansas River. There in 1823, the Cooper party crossed the Arkansas to pursue Mulberry Creek to the southwest becoming hopelessly lost, the party suffering from thirst, finally made their way back to the Arkansas. There also the U.S. Survey Team camped on September 6-8
