Place Names


Throughout this survey, I have used a variety of place names to locate plant and animal sightings on the property more accurately.  Some of these names are widely used in the region.  These include Middle Cave Ridge, Upper Cave Ridge, Akard Ridge, and Raccoon Branch.  Some other names - such as Alex Smith Cove - are used by Wortroot members only. 

In the interests of clarity, I named all of the coves and hills on the property which did not already have names.  The map below shows all of the cove and hill names used in this survey.

In addition to the names given to hills and coves, several other features at Wortroot are named, as shown below.  Some are relatively ambiguous - "the house" when there are several houses on the property, "the waterfall" when there are several waterfalls on the property.  So I've shown which area is referred to by each name.
