Located on the northern border of Wright Township this important and most fitting monument made of a beautiful large red pudding rock and arrow head shaped plaque on the corner of Squawfield & Waldron roads on the banks of "Bean Creek" or The St.Joseph of Maumee River is passed by hundreds of busy local motorists who most likely never have stopped to read its inscription;
SQUAW-FIELD__ SITE OF THE LAST CAMP OF THE POTTAWATOMIE INDIANS UNDER CHIEF BAW BEESE__ MOVED TO IOWA 1840"
