Footnotes ...
| <1> | We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Goodwins Ferry, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy. |
| <2> | It's a common practice for mapmakers to remove the apostrophe from possessive names. So Goodwins Ferry may originally have been Goodwin's Ferry. Sometimes the trailing 's' might be dropped altogether, in which case Goodwins Ferry might be written as Goodwin Ferry.
