[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1819261, member: 25884"] US Yankees...... had ponds and lakes, streams and rivers... I learned what a "tank " was from reading in Louis L'Amour western books.... A friend in the south had cricks and creeks, so I learned the southern terminology of our northern streams and rivers... One thing is that many man-made "lakes" on the small side are still called ponds... they dammed a stream and dug the area out and created the 4-5 acre ICE POND behind my grandparents and cut ice off it and stored it in the ice house there for many years... Hoth's Pond it was known as and is still referred to the pond there behind where her house used to sit...so size is not always a determining factor but a good rule of thumb in general... creek fed into it and the water went out over the dam at the other end.....
