Now we find out! Our creek is not a creek! So confirms an early, 1850 era, territorial map identifying the stream which flows by our town as Bald Hillock River.

What has happened since? Did some more recent map maker make a misprint which has repeated that error to this day? Whoever authorized a reclassification to the lesser geographic status? Must we brook such nonsense?

Perhaps it is time to reclaim the original identity of Hannaford's valuable natural resource.  Why not Bald Hill River?
