0 You'll sometimes find that places and geographical features that have "descriptive" names - especially in North America, where many were named more recently (18th-19th centuries) than in Europe for example - may be gramatically odd, or spelled incorrectly. This is because they were often named by pioneer settlers who may not have been well educated or used the grammar and spellings of the time
