My Little Poni - Twelve Mile Circle

I've often passed the Po and Ni Rivers on I-95. I always thought that the Po was named after the river in Italy, and that there was a Ni River somewhere that I didn't know about. (Though I always hoped that the person who named the Ni River was a big "Monty Python And The Holy Grail" fan.) Turns out the real reason for the names is kind of cool, too...

My Little Poni - Twelve Mile Circle - maps, geography, travel: Four rivers in Spotsylvania County are called the Mat, Ta, Po and Ni Rivers respectively.
