In 1879, the U. S. Steamer Ticonderoga completed a survey of the St. Paul’s River “from the bar to the rapids, taking soundings the whole way; and proceeded from Millsburg, half the distance to Bopolu.” A copy of the resulting map of the river was sent to the Liberian Secretary of State.
In 1893, a fifth regiment was created with troops to be drawn from Careysburg as well as Clay-Ashland, Louisianna, Millsburg, Harrisburg, Arthington, Muhlenburg, White Plains, Robertsville, Crozerville and Bensonville.
