"After leaving Pawnee Rock, the fear of the Indians was with us day and night...
and when we reached Fort Mackey on the Arkansas River, we breathed a sigh of relief."
— Marian Russell, near what would become Fort Dodge, 1852
The Black pool, Fort Dodge, Fort Mackey, Fort Mann, Fort Atkinson, the Caches, Point of Rocks, and the Cimarron Crossing locations are the significant points of interest.
