f. 17v., Atlynehicoyan

This scene (folio 17 verso) highlights a place called Atlynehicoyan (i.e. Atl Inechicoyan, the confluence of waters) shows an oval-shaped body of water (pond? lake?) with seven waterfowl swimming in it. It is surrounded by what is presumably green grass (just washed with a green watercolor). A text appears at the top of the page. The text states that there are 300 cords of land here belonging to some neighboring peoples (the name of their community is not legible). A boundary is said to run along both sides of this site.
