It may be proper here to remark that, from the several examinations made in 18 ; 7, it was ascertained that the most favorable point of cros- sing the Winnebago swamp was at the Rocky ford; this, then, being de- termined, our subsequent surveys were directed to this point. During the surveys made through this section of country, upwards of 220 miles have been instrumentally examined. Maps, profiles, and esti- mates have been made of such lines as appearedt o be the most favorable; and after com...paring the results of the different lines, I have selected the one that was found least expensive and be?t suited to the wants of the cruntry. For a more particular and detailed description of this route, I beg leave to submit to you the report of G. W. Clarke, as exhibiting the result of our examinations. From the geographical position of this part of the country, it will be seen that the country to the southwest of this route has, at most seasons of the year, the benefit conferred upon it by the navigation of the Mississippi; consequently, the advantages resulting to the work are by no means so great or beneficial to the country as it will be by adopting the northern route.
