Indian Paths in the Great Metropolis
This old highroad, now re named Newton avenue, can still be seen, much in its original condition (pi. vn). In this vicinity traces of native stations were discovered by J. B.
James, at 247th street near the Fieldston road and at Pascal avenue. These doubtless had some relation to the Keskeskick village. Beyond Mosholu avenue the old line of the highway is now abandoned, but its course may still be traced by the trees and stone fences that once lined it on both sides, as far as about 260th street, where it fell in line with Broadway of today and so arrived at the north boundary of the City of New York.
