The section of the Conestoga upstream from the city of Lancaster often is called a “creek.” Below the city, the waterway is called either a “creek” or a “river.” The Scribbler learned this by reading a new book, “The Conestoga River: A History,” written by Donald Kautz and published by The History Press. These designations make some sense because the beginning of the 60-mile-long Conestoga is narrow and shallow and creek-like, and the ending is wider and shallow and river-like. But “creek” is an informal designation for any part of the Conestoga. The U.S. Board of Geographic Names officially determined that the Conestoga is a “river” in the early 1970s. So if you find the Conestoga referred to as a “creek” on more recent maps, you have found a mistake.
