Summary: "Commenced July 19, 1863. Last field work done Aug. 14, 1863."--handwritten note on map. "It is impossible to designate definitely the exact character of the roads in this county, especially in the lower part. Some public roads seem to be altogether disused, and almost effaced, and many farm & private roads have become thoroughfares. This is especially the case along the River - The county is entirely stripped of enclosures, and cut up with innumerable camp paths. The Roads are generally well beaten?, but even? much washed, and many small crossings were destroyed by the July rains. Signed B. Lewis Blackford, Asst. Engr."--handwritten note on map.
