Actually Frank I think we need to be looking further north. Wouldn't it be highway 303 (Warwick Street?) that leads to Water Street eventually that was built over this river/stream/etc that I'm looking at? I think 101 runs further to the south of 303. See http://twelch.htohananet.com:80/DigbyTown.htm and find the 2 G ARMSTRONG dwellings. It's this body of water (river, stream, brook, whatever?) that I'm looking for a name. This body of water exists on present day maps but is not named.
