How do I go about getting a creek or stream a proper name?

Asked by Evan (810points) April 18th, 2010

Okay so of course i could just “give a name” to any waterway that I come across in the woods. But lets say I’m back country hiking, and I come across a stream, or a creek. Let’s say that waterway is even recorded on the USGS quad, but isn’t given a name. What’s the process for getting that waterway officially named?
