II. -TOPOGRAPHIC LIST OF THE CREEK TOWNS AND VILLAGES, 



As a help for the study of Creek topography, I add the list of 

 Creek towns as found in Caleb Swan's Report on the " Musco- 

 gee nation" in 1791, and printed in Schoolcraft's ^'Indians," v. 

 pp. 262-63. ^^ gives us the true topographic' order in which 

 these towns followed each other from North to South. 



" The smallest of their towns have from twenty to thirty 

 houses in them, and some of the largest contain from 150 to 

 200, that are tolerably compact. These houses stand in clusters 

 of four, five, six, seven and eight together, irregularly distri- 

 buted up and down the banks of rivers and small streams ; 

 each cluster of houses contains a clan or family of relations, who 

 eat and live in common. Each town has a public square, with 

 hot-house and yard near the centre of it, appropriated to various 

 public uses. 



"The following are the names of the principal towns of the 

 Upper and Lower Creeks that have public squares, beginning 

 at the head of the Coosa or Coosa-hatcha river, viz.: i. Upper 

 Ufalas, 2. Abbacoochees, 3. Natchez, 4. Coosas, 5. Oteetoo-

 following towns, viz.: 21. Hillabees, 22. Killeegko, 23. Oak- 

 choys, 24. Slakagulgas, 25. Wacacoys,
