Passing up this creek the bounds extended "from the head of said creek through the middle of the meadow [between Avenues P and Q], till they come to a white oak tree standing by the Flatland wagon path." This was the ancient trail, Mechawanienck, by that time expanded to the width of a wagon. Along this path the measurement proceeded "soe running to another white oak tree standing by Utrecht wagon path," which was the western extension of the same old line of travel.

This tree stood close to Avenue 0, at West 10th street. A line drawn from the first point on the beach, through this tree, made the western boundary of Gravesend, "soe on a direct line to the Flatbush fence," which was struck at Foster avenue near Ooean parkway, meeting a similar line drawn on the east side from the head of Gerritsen creek through the white-oak tree first mentioned. The old path on the line of the King's highway led farther west to Gravesend (105), where there were settlements of natives which have not been precisely located.
