Coushatta Trace through Rogers, Landrum, Corner, Atkins and Clark Leagues

This is a wonderful closeup of the E. R. Wightman's 1831 survey map showing the Coshatta [Coushatta] Trace running north and south on the Raleigh Rogers League [Iron Mound League] then onto the Z.[Zachariah] Landrum League and then back over onto the Rogers League.  Then the Coushatta Trace begins to turn east so that it runs east and west as it crosses the John Corner League, then onto the Wm. [William] Atkins League, then onto the Wm. [William] C. Clark League and then crosses the West Fork of the San Jacinto.
