《徐霞客游记·盘江考》
从石中往上走了一里，来到岭坳，往下看到西坞中往南流的江水，往下坠入岭南的峡谷里，是交溪从桥头往南流，横穿这座山南麓而往东流去。
石中上者一里，至岭坳，下见西坞南流之江，下坠岭南之峡，乃交溪由桥头南下，横截此山南麓以东去者也。
Walking up for a mile through the stones, one arrived at the highest point, looking down to see the river flowing south in the western canyon, descending into the canyon south of the ridge. This was the Jiaoxi that flowed south from the head of the bridge, crossing the southern foothills of this mountain and flowing east.
