I am not sure if this request for assistance will survive as the list transitions, but here goes. First, is anyone aware of a mid 18th century map on which the place name Quadoghe is placed within Lake Michigan at its south end? I am sure I once saw such a placement but have been unable to retrace my steps. On the 1755 Mitchell map and many others following it, that name is placed to the south or south west of the lake. Maps by Jefferys, Kitchin, Spilsbury, Lodge and Bowen and others all place the name Quadoghe on land, as does one by Laurie and Whittle in 1794 United States of America with the British Possessions of Canada, which is the latest date of the name occurring on a map I have found to date. I am hoping this was not lost in some dense fog at the bottom end of the lake or gone the way of Atlantis and disappeared altogether beneath the waves (read memory hiccup). Secondly I am hoping someone can help decipher the hand written script along a segment of line drawn on the red line version of the Mitchell map. I have looked at the on-line"red line" map held by the Osher Library maphttp://usm.maine.edu/maps/web-document/2/home and reproductions in reference materials. The segment I am interested in follows the line Mitchell denotes as the boundary of the deeds of 1701, 1724 and 1744, which follows the Illinois River, goes through Lake Michigan, the north end of Lake Huron and across to the Ottawa River. Mitchell labels the line Western Bounds of The Six Nations Sold and Surrendered to Great Britain, and in the east, Bounds of the Six Nations. The hand written script along that line, as best as I can make out, is Boundary Line between the English and French Territories ???? the English ??struction of the Treaty of Utrecht. I could make some guesses but would prefer not to. Any assistance on either of these matters is appreciated.
