Lost Cove, North Carolina Lost Cove is a ghost town in Yancey County, North Carolina. The town was first settled by Morgan Bailey shortly before the Civil War. The town is located in the Poplar Gorge above the Nolichucky River on the Tennessee-North Carolina border. Originally, the settlement was supported by logging, railroading, moonshine-making, and farming industries. Several factors contributed to the town's abandonment including rough terrain, isolation, and the end of passenger railroad stops. In 1957, the last family left Lost Cove, leaving it deserted. Fires in 2007 burned most of the structures down. Today, the town is still accessible to those willing to hike. Visitors to the area come to see the cemetery, Swin Miller's rusted Chevy still laying in a ditch, and the three houses that remain.

Lost toponym A lost toponym is a name given to a place which is no longer known or identifiable. For example, in 1618 the crew of the "Mauritius" explored a river in north-western Australia, which they named "Willems Revier" ("Willem's River"). However it is not now known which river they explored, so "Willems River" cannot be placed on a present-day map. "Willems River" is therefore a lost toponym.

It drains a high desert region, the Amargosa Valley in the Amargosa Desert northwest of Las Vegas, into the Mojave Desert, and finally into Death Valley where it disappears into the ground aquifer. Except for a small portion of its route in the Amargosa Canyon in California and a small portion at Beatty, Nevada, the river flows above ground only after a rare rainstorm washes the region. A 26-mile (42 km) stretch of the river between Shoshone and Dumont Dunes is protected as a National Wild and Scenic River. At the south end of Tecopa Valley the Amargosa River Natural Area protects the habitat.

St. Johns River The St. Johns River (Spanish: "Río San Juan" ) is the longest river in the U.S. state of Florida and its most significant one for commercial and recreational use. At 310 mi long, it winds through or borders twelve counties, three of which are the state's largest. The drop in elevation from headwaters to mouth is less than 30 ft ; like most Florida waterways, the St. Johns has a very low flow rate 0.3 mph and is often described as "lazy". Popular belief in the St. Johns area holds that it is one of the few rivers that flow north, although north-flowing rivers are common. Numerous lakes are formed by the river or flow into it, but as a river its widest point is nearly 3 mi across. The narrowest point is in the headwaters, an unnavigable marsh in Indian River County. The St. Johns drainage basin of 8840 sqmi includes some of Florida's major wetlands. It is separated into three major basins and two associated watersheds for Lake George and the Ocklawaha River, all managed by the St. Johns River Water Management District.

Androscoggin River The Androscoggin River is a river in the U.S. states of Maine and New Hampshire, in northern New England. It is 178 mi long and joins the Kennebec River at Merrymeeting Bay in Maine before its water empties into the Gulf of Maine on the Atlantic Ocean. Its drainage basin is 3530 sqmi in area. The name "Androscoggin" comes from the Eastern Abenaki term "/aləssíkɑntəkw/" or "/alsíkɑntəkw/", meaning "river of cliff rock shelters" (literally "thus-deep-dwelling-river"); or perhaps from Penobscot "/aləsstkɑtəkʷ/", meaning "river of rock shelters". The Anglicization of the Abenaki term is likely an analogical contamination with the colonial governor Edmund Andros.
