Figure 1. A map indicating the various depictions of "Beaver Lake," the water body surmised to be represented at the end of the Beaver (or Lost) River on the maps derived from the "Smith Map." The dashed lines represent the different courses cartographers assigned to the Beaver River over the years. The position of the lake and river moved north and west, until the lake finally stopped being drawn at the end of the Beaver River and was ultimately identified as today’s Pruess Lake. (Map by the author.)
