Indian Paths in the Great Metropolis
INDIAN Another old wagon-way, which is described by Jenkins,1 8 branched off from the line of the Lower path at the place in Fordham where it crossed Mill brook, following the present Third avenue to East 182d street, along which it passed to East 181st street near Bronx river. If this was the successor of a pathway to Hunts point, which seems the natural direction for such a trail to have taken, it would have followed the line of the Boston post-road to East 177th street, thence by a line which later became the old West Farms road, joining the Southern boulevard at Westchester avenue and following the line of the latter to Hunts Point road, which led directly to the Quinnahung station (7).
