Looking For Fort Johnson-- Part 2: Exact Location Not Known

The following fall, 1815, Cantonment Davis was built on the site of Fort Johnson.  It was used as a winter staging area for the construction of the nearby Fort Edwards.  It was afterwards used by the military and later the American Fur Trading Company for several decades before it was abandoned.

An obelisk stands at the site of Fort Edwards, but the exact location of Fort Johnson and Cantonment Davis is unknown.  They knew roughly where they were, but not exactly.
