I'm a maritime historian/archaeologist and have found for past research that the "Notes" are a good summation of navigable rivers during the late 18th/early 19th century. There is sometimes information on watercraft types for which I am interested (e.g. batteax). I didn't do a search. When I saw your question, "Notes" was one of the first places I looked and happened to see Hobbs Hole. I've found that indexes aren't always complete on old publications.
