Footnotes

<1>Keep in mind that you might find some variations to Moses Lake:

It's frequently the practice of mapmakers to remove the apostrophe from possessive names. So Moses Lake may originally have been Mose's Lake. Sometimes the trailing 's' might be dropped altogether. In that case, you may find that a reference to Mose Lake is actually referring to Moses Lake.
