Junction of the Blythe-Phoenix and the Phoenix-Prescott roads. Here the 
Blythe road turns south to Phoenix. 
Sacaton. This is on the Salt river south of Phoenix, a Government

of going south, and passed by the eastern edge of the low range south of 
Sacaton, where I botanized on the boulder strewn hills.
