One Reply to “River River, Hill Hill Hill, and other fun place names”

  1. Not quite tautological, but on the way past southern Maine, you cross over the Mousem river. A while later, you cross under a bridge where the cross-street is labeled. It’s Cat and Mousem road.

    Near here, there’s a road everyone calls ORNAC, but that’s only because the road fully spelled out won’t fit on the sign. The road runs between Route 2 and Nine-Acre Corner (a tautological place name in itself). The road’s full name? Old Road to Nine Acre Corner.
