    Dennis?

    Interesting, that island is only six miles from my house as the crow flies.

    Dennis?

    I was recently looking at the Jack Pudding Branch on a map and noticed not too far away the "Man Killer Branch," which flows into Babcock Creek just north of the confluence of Jack Pudding and Babcock. Any idea where this toponym came from?

    What new things would you like to see here?

    AC in 1927

    Burned Area Visit

    I was out that way this past week. There's a similar dirt pile at the Batona Trailhead on Dan Bridge Rd. and literally dozens of them on Dump Rd. right next to the Parkway.

    "Isveland" Thorofare

    I was recently poring over some of Boyd's maps while doing some research and found something that I have never noticed. I saw that the creek linking the Wading and Bass rivers was named the Loveland Thorofare on some maps but on others it was known as the Isveland Thorofare. I thought that...
