s map. 
Captain Stansbury gives a map drawn in 1710 by John 
Senex, F.R.S., on which the discoveries of La Hontan are 
given. This represents the ‘ Long River” as being like a long 
lake toward its source, and flowing nearly due east through 
25° of longitude. Another curious point, it is represented as 
having a continuous water connection through the “ Moin 
correspond to the Blue Earth and Des Moines, whose sources 
were formerly connected by “ Union Slough,” as shown by Dr. 
C. A. White, in his report on the Geology of Iowa.

than was customary in those days.
