George Washington's own hand-drawn map of his journey to Fort LeBoeuf. The legend reads: The French are now coming from their Forts on and near the Lake Erie, to Venango to erect another Fort, and from there they design to the Forks of the Monongahela and to the Logs Town, and so to continue down the River building at the most convenient places in order to prevent our settlements, etc. NB: A little below Shanopin's Town in the Forks is the place where we are going immediately to build a Fort, as it commands the Ohio and Monongahela.
