Originating just west of St. Michael's Cemetery, it ran through the southern part of the cemetery grant southeasterly to Pensacola Bay (near modern-day Admiral Mason Park), serving as a sort of eastern boundary to the early Spanish and British settlements in that area during the eighteenth century.
