Then over Smoky Hill NORTH to Godfrey, then almost due west to crossing of Kiowa Creek 5 miles north of Kiowa, thence northwesterly to headwaters of Sampson Gulch and down Gulch to Cherry Creek at Twelve-Mile House. N to Parker to Denver between Cherry Creek and Highway 83. Later it followed the ridge from headwaters of Sampson Gulch to Nine-mile House and thence into Denver.
