It became known later as the Jamaica and Brooklyn plank road, and sometimes as the Old Ferry road. In the village of Bedford it crossed, at the Four Corners, the junction of the Clove road, which was an old lane that may still be traced in part in the line of Canarsie avenue from Montgomery street southward to its old junction with the Canarsie lane, now the south boundary of the Cemetery of the Holy Cross in Flatbush.

INDIAN NOTES

BOROUGH OF QUEENS

The Clove road might have constituted a short-cut from the Canarsie region to the old Newtown road, which joined the main roadway at Bedford corners, and of which mention has already been made. This line of travel, by following Flushing avenue beyond Broadway, led very directly to Maspeth, the nearest station in Queens county, and to the territory now covered by Long Island City. It met at Linden hill the old Fresh Pond road, once known as the Kills path. This winding way was a very probable connection between the Maspeth station and the Rockaway path, with which it united at Euclid avenue in East New York.

The Rockaway path crossed the boundary of the Borough of Queens, as does its successor Jamaica avenue, at Elderts lane, and passed thence almost due east toward Jamaica (101), skirting the south side of the Green hills through the Woodhaven and Richmond Hill districts, and entering Jamaica at Fulton street, where it joined another known trail that led north to Flushing.
