----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I am looking for "Tommaws Fork". It may be on Bear River. It is mentioned in an old journal of 1858 and I can't find any such name, or similar one, in the USGS GNIS. Probably a new name has been substituted for this name. It is a "mean, sluggish stream" somewhere between Soda Springs, Id and Fort Bridger,Wy apparently on or near the Oregon Trail. Any suggestions as to how I might find the location of an old name like this sincerely appreciated.
