Early 19th century French maps of Arkansas show two families — the Futenah Establishment and the Guillaume Plantation — on the upper White River, possibly as high as the split of the East, Middle and West Forks on the east side of present-day Fayetteville.
The maps of this early period aren’t accurate in their depiction of the White River, though, showing it entirely in Arkansas rather than correctly arcing up through southern Missouri and then back into Arkansas before the split of the three forks.
Similarly, the 1814 map “Spanish North America,” by John Thomson and printed in Edinburgh, Scotland, refers to them as the Futeneaux Settlement and the Williams Settlement.
