This from 179something. Look at the names, The Musconecunk, and Flat Lick

I have a map from the same time period that shows the terrain, roads, and towns. One difference is that it refers to the "Flat Kill". It is a large map and my wife wonders why I stand in the hallway not moving as I search across the entire State. As a brook trout fan there would have been many places to fish in North and North-Central NJ, although getting there would be a problem.

I love this. There is a tidal creek southwest called Mooresfield creek(now Pennsauken creek) that flows through Moorestown, where I live. It was named for Moores Tavern which was in the area during colonial times. Ancocas creek just to the north is now Rancocas creek. There is a tiny little crrek around here which will remain unnamed that still has some brook trout in it.

The river we now know as the Musconetcong has had many spellings. The problem was that the native Americans did not have a written language, so early European settlers wrote down that word in their own languages (Scotch/German/English/Irish) and it got bastardized by that. It means a river flowing from two lakes which were under what is today Lake Hopatcong.
