Delaware Mount
On the old California Road
The California road, in 1849 - 1953, ascended the escarpment, about 3/4 mile east, known to travelers as " Delaware Mount." this "Mount" extends from several miles south of here, northeast to the Canadian River. At top of this plateau, travelers exclaimed on the fine view of head waters of Muddy and Clear Boggy Creeks.
