More information is not known about the Tomahawk encampment. This site does however show another point along the original Forbes Road. We can notice from this that current Route 30 does not follow the exact same path as the original Forbes Road, even though it does pass through all the same towns.
The Tomahawk Encampment Plaque was dedicated in 1930. It reads: "At foot of Laurel Hill the Forbes Road leads northwestward to Fort Ligonier 35.5 miles from Fort Bedford."
