Talk:Brunswick River (Georgia)

Fancy Bluff Creek
The Brunswick River is named Fancy Bluff Creek at Google Maps. Brunswick River doesn't occur at all. Why is this name difference? Regards, Dionysos1988 (talk) 16:11, 14 November 2018 (UTC)


 * I've seen that on Google Maps and it is incorrect. It shows "Fancy Bluff Creek" all over - even on some smaller rivers that have a name different from the Brunswick River.  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 00:32, 15 November 2018 (UTC)


 * The mouth of Fancy Bluff Creek is near 31.145 N, 81.546 W. It runs into the South Brunswick River. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 23:38, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Hoax
There is no such river as the Brunswick River. The body of water being described in this article is indeed Fancy Bluff Creek. Google Maps has since corrected the erroneous applications of Fancy Bluff Creek - however note that the creek has multiple branches and swamp channels in and around its mouth, so those are technically not their own body of water. As written, this page is a hoax. It needs to be renamed and completely rewritten. 24.34.85.169 (talk) 01:16, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Google Maps is wrong. See the section above.  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 01:18, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Not anymore it isn't. They've fixed the erroneous identifications of Fancy Bluff Creek and now only identifies the river itself and its swamp branches, which is correct. 24.34.85.169 (talk) 01:20, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
 * This source states "Fancy Bluff is a large network of tidal creeks and tributaries in southern Glynn County." - which in turn means that there is more than one body of water named Fancy Bluff Creek. This source says that Brunswick River is the former and historical name of Fancy Bluff Creek. Also note the rather large number of Google search results for Fancy Bluff Creek. 24.34.85.169 (talk) 01:49, 12 May 2019 (UTC)


 * They all got their information from incorrect sources. I added external links to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, etc, and the map above, which is correct.  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 02:09, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

Well, they reduced the resolution of the map, so it is useless. Go to [Rand-McNally] and enter zip code 31520, and look at the names of the rivers. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 00:36, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Sorry for having to take a photo at night, but I don't suffer fools gladly.


 * The article also links to the US Geological Survey and it lists Brunswick River.


 * List of rivers of Georgia (U.S. state) lists "Brunswick River" but no "Fancy Bluff Creek". Is that article a hoax too?  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 03:19, 12 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Georgia State Route 303 says that it crosses the South Brunswick River. Is that a hoax too?  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 03:21, 12 May 2019 (UTC)


 * U.S._Route_17_in_Georgia says that it crosses the Brunswick River. Is that a hoax too?


 * Sidney_Lanier_Bridge says that it crosses the Brunswick River. Is that a hoax too?  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 03:29, 12 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Turtle River (Georgia) says that it runs into the Brunswick River. Is that a hoax too?  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 03:31, 12 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Buffalo River (Georgia) mentions the Brunswick River network. Is that a hoax too?  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 04:04, 12 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Mackay River mentions the Brunswick River. Is it a hoax too?  Some online maps incorrectly list all of these rivers as "Fancy Bluff Creek".  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 04:14, 12 May 2019 (UTC)


 * St. Simons Sound - ditto. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 06:44, 12 May 2019 (UTC)


 * This website also has the rivers named correctly. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 01:29, 21 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Honestly, I like Google's solution to the complex cartography of the area. Every waterway in Georgia should just be "Fancy Bluff Creek". Also, every city "Jesup".  It cracks me up that you actually went out and took a picture of the sign...  Kuru   (talk)  02:10, 21 May 2019 (UTC)


 * I was so aggravated that I had to prove myself right, even after 10PM. I had to go to the South Brunswick River. It and the Turtle River feed into the Brunswick River proper, but the only bridge that crosses it is the Sidney Lanier Bridge, and it doesn't have signs giving the river name or the bridge name. (I knew that.)


 * There are a lot of rivers around here, as the last website I posted shows. One of them IS Fancy Bluff Creek - it connects the South Brunswick River to the Little Satilla River.  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 04:00, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
