Pocatalico River
The Pocatalico River is a tributary of the Kanawha River, about 75 mi( 120 km) long, in west- central West Virginia in the United States.
Via the Kanawha and Ohio Rivers, it is part of the Mississippi River watershed.
The Pocatalico rises in Roane County near the community of Walton and flows generally southwestwardly through southern Roane, northern Kanawha and southeastern Putnam Counties, past the community of Sissonville.
It meets the Kanawha River at the town of Poca.
The Pocatalico River and its watershed experienced severe flooding in March 1997, June 1998, and February 2001.
The floods in 1997 and 1998 resulted in National Disaster declarations.
The communities of Walton, Cicerone, Sissonville, and Millertown were most seriously impacted.
Dee Creek (Salt Creek)
Dee Creek is a tributary of Salt Creek in Cass County in the U.S. state of Nebraska.
Not much is known about Dee Creek, as much of it is underground.
It is speculated that Dee Creek is fed directly from the Ogallala Aquifer.

It is a tributary of Gasconade River.

Pee Dee Creek (Missouri)
Pee Dee Creek is a stream in Marion and Shelby counties in the U.S. state of Missouri.
It is a tributary to the South Fork of the North River.
Pee Dee Creek most likely derives its name from the Pee Dee River in the Carolinas.
Pee Dee River
The Pee Dee River, also known as the Great Pee Dee River, is a river in the U.S. states of North Carolina and South Carolina.
It originates in the Appalachian Mountains in North Carolina, where its upper course, above the mouth of the Uwharrie River, is known as the Yadkin River.
It is extensively dammed for flood control and hydroelectric power.
The lower part of the river is named Pee Dee( in colonial times written Pedee) after the Pee Dee Indian Tribe.
The Pee Dee region of South Carolina, composed of the northeastern counties of the state, was also named after the tribe.
In fact, today the Pee Dee Indian Tribe still occupies some of their ancestral lands, although the tribe only consists of just over 200 enrolled members.
The first Europeans believed to have navigated part of the river was a party sent by Lucas Vázquez de Ayllón in 1521.
They named it" River of St. John the Baptist."
Navigable up to the Fall Line at Cheraw, the river was an important trade route through the Low Country from colonial times.
The largest lumber company in the world existed at the turn of the 20th century near the river's mouth at Georgetown.
The virgin pine forests of the Pee Dee region were cut over, and the logs floated in rafts downriver to be sawn into lumber and exported to the northern United States and Europe.
The lower part of the river flood plain was extensively developed for rice culture in colonial time; rice was the major export of the area from the port at Georgetown.
Rice culture declined with the freedom of slave labor after the Civil War, and increased overseas competition.
Two hurricanes at the beginning of the 20th century destroyed much of the rice canal infrastructure and effectively ended the remnants of rice culture.
Today the river is not extensively used for navigation.
It is an important source of electric power and public water supplies, as well as recreational use.
While the Pee Dee is free- flowing in South Carolina, upstream in North Carolina, several dams have been constructed on it.
The opening and closing of these dams causes dramatic swings in the depth of the river in South Carolina.
The sharing of water between the two states has sometimes been a matter of controversy, particularly during period of drought.
Some commercial fishing is done during the winter shad run, and for shrimp in the lower reaches.
The river is excellent for recreational fishing and boating.
There are numerous boat landings, yet most of the river is wild, with forests of tupelo, oak and gum along its shores.
Herons and alligators can be seen along the way, and a lucky sighting of a bald eagle is possible.
The lower part of the river from Highway 378 to Winyah Bay has been designated a Scenic River.
Some tributaries are the Lumber, the Little Pee Dee, Lynches, Black and Waccamaw rivers.
The river empties into Winyah Bay, and then into the Atlantic Ocean near Georgetown.
Snow's Island is a large island at the junction of the Pee Dee and Lynches rivers.
This was the headquarters of General Francis Marion for several months during the American Revolution.
It proved a safe haven for him and his militia troops, as the British were unable to find the camp until it was abandoned.
( It has been identified as the center of Johnsonville Impact Crater).
Second Creek (Pocatalico River)
Second Creek is a stream in Kanawha County, West Virginia.
