Earth:Digdeguash River
From HandWiki
The Digdeguash River is a large river in the West Fundy watershed that empties into the Bay of Fundy in South-Western New Brunswick, Canada.[1][2][3]
William Francis Ganong attributed its name to the unknown Passamaquoddy phrase Dik-te-quesk.[4]
There used to be a dam across the river, giving rise to the village of Rollingdam, where a covered bridge still crosses the river.[5][6]
