As a geography nerd I find this stuff interesting as hell.

Me too. And the geography ties into K9's area of expertise as well......

Examples: Oglethorpe builds a settlement in Savannah and then sends a crew up the River to see what's there. Eventually they couldn't go any further because of the waterfalls they hit, so they stopped. And where they had to stop became a place called "Augusta". Same for Macon and Columbus. The navigable ending points of their respective rivers...

I love this stuff.
