According to historian Gretta Gossett, "there is yet an alluvial plain along the river near Nile Creek which is often flooded in the spring and left with a layer of silt perhaps giving rise to the name for the Nile in Egypt."
Nach der Historikerin Gretta Gossett “there is yet an alluvial plain along the river near Nile Creek which is often flooded in the spring and left with a layer of silt perhaps giving rise to the name for the Nile in Egypt” (dt. etwa „gibt es eine alluviale Ebene am Nile Creek, die im Frühjahr oft überschwemmt wird und eine Lage Schlamm zurücklässt, so dass sie an den Nil in Ägypten erinnert“).
