i'm sure i can dig that up for you. i worked at a park within a ten-minute canoe trip of same; it's one of the major tributaries of the Pocomoke River. we're loaded with algonquian place-names 'round here! - Μετανοιδ (talk, email) 23:16, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Reminds me of the confusion between Rappahannock and Tappahannock in Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 :) Badagnani (talk) 23:22, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
