    Guntersville creeks/names/etc

    I was hoping someone could take a few minutes and help clarify the names of some of the locations on Guntersville. I only get down there a few days a year. A buddy of mine will say "go to ____ Creek"... then I'll go there and he says "no, that's _____ Creek!". I'm not sure if he's wrong or if some of the maps I've found have bad info or what.

    So, what do the locals call these areas?

    Here's what I know or assume (possibly incorrect).

    A. Crow
    B. Mud
    C.
    D. Town
    E.
    F. I just refer to this as "the place where City Park is".. what's it actually called? Is the whole area Roseberry?
    G. The area behind Goose Pond... does this little arm have a name? or is it the same as F? Or is it part or North Sauty?
    H. North Sauty
    I. Mink
    J. South Sauty
    K. Boshart
    <not labeled> - between K and L - Waterfront. is there any other name for this pocket?
    L. Mill ? (according to Google Maps)
    M.
    N.
    O. Is this part of Spring Creek?
    P. Spring?
    Q. Browns
    R.
    S. Alreds
    T. Honeycomb

    Can someone fill in the blanks or correct me where I'm wrong? Or add anything else that is common but I didn't label?

    A. Crow Creek
    B. Mud Creek
    C. Raccoon creek

    M is not Mill creek. Mill creek looks like L to me but kinda hard to tell with the map so zoomed out.

    Thanks. I was kind of confused by your first post but figured I'd just wait and see if anyone else chimes in! Appreciate it.

    Numerous names between J and M depending on where you are. I always considered Langston as the area between South Sauty and the power lines above Goosepond
