Talk:Contoocook River

Few American Rivers flow north?
I have a very hard time believing this. Looking at the map on the Merrimack River page, most of the Merrimack's tributaries flow north. The Nashua and the Concord are easily on the same scale as the Contocook - very small rivers. I'd bet there are very few *major* rivers that flow north, but I highly doubt that the Merrimack River system is that unusual in that it has north-flowing tributaries. I'm going to mark this for fact checking.

 * You're absolutely right. I changed the sentence to refer just to NH, where a quick look at a map shows only a few other somewhat-north-flowing rivers:  the Nashua (as you said), the Souhegan (for a while, before it goes to the east), the South Branch of the Baker, and the Upper Ammonoosuc (again just for a while) are the only ones that come to mind. --Ken Gallager 09:36, 2 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh, the Pine River, too. I'm surprised no one's come up with a List of northward-flowing rivers yet!  --Ken Gallager 09:40, 2 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Well we do have this: Category:North_Flowing_Rivers. And here's a website with a list, but at the moment it's exceeded its transfer limit...so this is the cached google version:  http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:0YauI2TZ7lwJ:www.geocities.com/loisnotlane/rivers.html CSZero 15:08, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
