Inscription. The East Fork Stone's River originates approximately 7 miles to the east, at a spring on Short Mountain.

Beginning in the early 19th century, the river played an important role in the settlement of the area that became Cannon County, providing fresh water and a reliable power source for the mills that processed local agricultural products.
