The road is therefore properly located on the north side all the way to the junction of the Smoky Hill and Republican Forks. If the objective point of the road be regarded as Denver City, we com missioners have not the information for determining whether the Repub lican or the Smoky Hill Fork furnishes the best location; but as the law authorized the location up the latter, and this was selected, it is pre sumed to be the better, and it undoubtedly is so, for making an extension of the'line to the head of the Arkansas river or to New Mexico. The road is then located in the valley of the Smoky Hill Fork, as high up as Salina. The elevation attained here is feet above the sea level; the distance from the initial point is 185 miles, and the elevation there 690 feet. At Salina the road leaves the main valley to avoid the great southerly bend made by the Smoky Hill Fork, and goes up the valley of Spring creek to its source. The first summit reached has an elevation of feet. The road then descends 65 feet, to cross Alum creek; it ascends the next. Ridge to an elevation of feet, and then it descends 85 feet to cross Clear creek; it again ascends a ridge to an elevation of feet, and then descends 130 feet to regain the Smoky Hill Fork at Fort Harker, where the elevation is feet above the sea. The line between this last point and Salina is generally direct, but it has a great deal of curvature and high grades, the maximum grade each way being 74 feet per mile....We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
