12/ Mormon Bridge Road; Winter Quarters on the table
land overlooking the Missouri River where the Omaha
waterworks are today; Summer Quarters perhaps two
miles northwest of present Ft Calhoun; and Elkhorn
Camp west of Cutler's Park along the Elkhorn River
where the occupants spent some time putting in
piers to bridge the Elkhorn River the next spring.
Likely the dramatic increase in the size of the
river in spring run-off caused the Mormons to
resort to a ferry crossing for the Elkhorn the
next year.
