It became known later as the Jamaica and Brooklyn plank road, and sometimes as the Old Ferry road. In the village of Bedford it crossed, at the Four Corners, the junction of the Clove road, which was an old lane that may still be traced in part in the line of Canarsie avenue from Montgomery street southward to its old junction with the Canarsie lane, now the south boundary of the Cemetery of the Holy Cross in Flatbush.

INDIAN NOTES BOROUGH OF The Clove road might have constituted a short-cut from the Canarsie region to the old Newtown road, which joined the main roadway at Bedford corners, and of which mention has already been made. This line of travel, by following Flushing avenue beyond Broadway, led very directly to Maspeth, the nearest station in Queens county, and to the territory now covered by Long Island City.

It met at Linden hill the old Fresh Pond road, once known as the Kills path. This winding way was a very probable connection between the Maspeth station and the Rockaway path, with which it united at Euclid avenue in East New York.
