Footnotes ...

<1>	It's a common practice for mapmakers to remove the apostrophe from possessive names. So Fires Creek may originally have been Fire's Creek. Sometimes the trailing 's' might be dropped altogether, in which case Fires Creek might be written as Fire Creek. For more information, please visit our Genealogy Helper Page for Fires Creek.
