Gazetteer Index

River miles are measured along the channel from the junction of the North and South prongs, mile 0, to the meeting with the Current at mile 46.21. Places on the prongs carry North Prong or South Prong miles, counted up each prong from the same junction, and left and right banks are named facing downstream. Names are spelled as the chapters spell them, the federal map name is noted where it differs, and every other name points to its main entry.
