About 5 blocks north of this marker was the location of a very important river crossing for the early settlers of this area, going from the "Shetek Trail" on the south to "Old Leavenworth" and New Ulm on the north side of the Cottonwood River. It was named after the first settler on this farm, John Jackson, who lived here at the time of the Sioux Indian conflict in August 1862. Jackson also erected the first water powered sawmill about 4 blocks northwest of this point around the year 1868.

John Jackson drowned in the Cottonwood River while fording the stream with a team of horses in 1872. John was married to Bertha, daughter of John Schneider early settler of Leavenworth township.
