Thanks. It's a mighty long list. I am particularly interested in Banks Big Springs, which is listed as a stream. I can't find anything on it. Surely it has nothing to do with Big Lake: http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=40.07250&lon=-95.34472&datum=NAD27&s=50&size=l Mike MOHOLT-D-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > Subject: Re: [MOHOLT] Location of Holt County Items > Date: Sun, 21 Nov 2004 12:25:30 -0600 > From: "Elizabeth Burnsides" <lizb@asde.net> > To: MOHOLT-L@rootsweb.com > > Those of us, who gather at the Holt County Historical Society > Library/Museum, each Wednesday will be looking for information about those > Holt County sites.

Probably this is your Banks Big Springs: Info from "The St. Joe Road",by Jacqueline A. Lewin and Marilyn S. Taylor; A St. Joseph Museum publicaton: William Banks operated a ferry, on the Missouri River, at about mile marker 482. He chose the site, for his home, a couple of miles from the ferry crossing, because of a big, gushing spring that was located there. Reputedly, it was one of the largest, purest springs in the Missouri River bluffs between St. Joseph and Council Bluffs. This house, is constructed of two and one-half foot thick blocks of native limestone. (The remains of the building are still standing in 2004) This is located south of Forest City. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Flannigan" <mikeflan@earthlink.net> To: <MOHOLT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, November 22, 2004 6:32 PM Subject: Re: [MOHOLT] Location of Holt County Items > > Thanks.
