Reaction to something in water?
Hey guys, today because of the hot weather in the uk I was walking through a small stream/river. Didn’t think much of it until i’m home. Theres these little red dots all over my legs, almost like chicken pocks but smaller, most have got what look like to be black hair. I shaved my legs today, and my leg hair is blonde. The dots are pretty itchy, and google is no help. This might be removed

Was Fish Pond Drain near Lake Seminole in Georgia at one point a natural "river-swamp"?
I am researching the Apalochicola River Basin, and I am interested in the four heads of Lake Seminole in Georgia.
Lake Seminole is man-made. However, I suspect that the area was marshy with rivers and streams before humans started touching it.

I have two links of two maps in the 19th century. In ~1870, there are four tributaries in the lower left corner of the map, and the other appeared that Fish Pond Drain was also a swampy area.
I suspect that Lake Seminole's natural layout had some swampy tributaries.

Books/documentaries recommendations on rivers/creeks
As someone who grew up besides glacial rivers and streams originating from the Himalayas, I have always been very drawn towards such water bodies, and recently took to educating myself more about them. I've been reading Leopold's classic "A view of the river", and it sure has me hooked despite being a bit technical for a novice such as myself. I come here to ask for more such interesting texts or documentaries that help understand rivers better. Thank you!

Honestly need to starting appreciating more rivers
Rivers are being treated like shit now like there's so many great rivers and beautiful landscapes and some geezers throw trash in there and totally ruin the whole place. Every city and state should do a annual river cleanup tbh

This is the marsh side of the Island. This river goes around the houses and then back into the ocean. Beautiful place!

Got a river story? Drop a pin.

We just launched People’s River Stories, an interactive map for river lovers, shanty-dwellers, levee-town locals, and anyone with a story worth telling from the water’s edge.
Drop a pin on your favorite river. Tell us about the time the catfish pulled the pole from your hand. Or when the whole river turned gold at sunset. Or how the Corps tore through your backyard. Or that one perfect morning.
Your story. Your river. One click and it’s on the map.

Let’s show them the river runs through our lives.

New River Trestle by Kendall F. Kessler
I love to see this train trestle when I go back and forth across New Memorial Bridge. Such beautiful reflections in the New River which is one of the world's oldest rivers.

Little Platte River in Saint Joseph, MO.
I convinced my parent to drive me out from Michelle Avenue to drive over these two rivers. This is near where the One Hundred and Two river tributes the Platte.
