Wilson Lake (Lake), Price County, Wisconsin (45.6697821, -90.456509)
History: A proposal to collectively name Musser Lake, Big Dardis Lake, Duroy Lake, Elk Lake, Long Lake and Wilson Lake, Chain-O-Lakes, was submitted by the Wisconsin Board on 8 January 1954, and again on 29 August 1958. The U.S. Board on Geographic Names (USBGN) rejected the proposal on 9 April 1959, based on the fact that all the lakes were not connected by the same watercourse, therefore, not a true group of "chain lakes".
Missouri River (Stream), St. Charles County, Missouri (38.8136597, -90.1198297)
Description: The longest river in the United States. Heads in Montana at the junction of the Jefferson River and the Madison River, flows generally SE to the Mississippi River N of St. Louis. Forms parts of the SD-NE, NE-IA, NE-MO and KS-MO boundaries. The lowest elevation in NE at 840 feet near Richardson.
History: The popular but erroneous conception that the name means "muddy water" arose from the fact that Marquette gave it the indigenous name "Pekitanoui" meaning "muddy".  Early white explorers first called the stream "Missouri" after a tribe of Indians who lived on its banks and whose name meant "people with wooden canoes." (Robert Ramsay placename file).  The variant name "Emasulia Sipiwi" means "river of boatmen" in the Peoria language.
