Buffalo Creek is a stream - unidentified by me at this moment - north of Wheeling Creek. The split creek
between Buffalo Creek and Letort's Creek is in the correct position to be Wheeling Creek. At this time, at
least on this map, it has no name. The broad tributary just at the bottom of this excerpt is labelled "Great
Konhaway" on the full map. This is the Kanawha River.
