p. 341361 Wisconsin river such as usually run on the upper Mississippi, have ascended to the Portage. When the channel is better known to pilots, it may however be navigated in ordinary stages of the water without much difficulty. The distances along this river from the Portage are as follows: [Table of measurements and distances-Prairie du Sac, Arena, Helena, Mineral Creek, Pine river, Blue river, Kickapoo river, Ferry (U.S. Road), the Mississippi]. The Indian name of this river is Neekoospara. At a place below the Portage, there is an isolated ridge about two hundred feet in height, a little in the rear of the left bank, with a crest resembling in an obscure manner walls and batteries &c.: hence called the "Fortification Rock"/ 200 | p. 341361 Wisconsin river such as usually run on the upper Mississippi, have ascended to the Portage.
