I used to use the terrain map on google to find different streams, but now all that appears is a blue line, no more names. I guess I'll just have to use my trusty gazetteer.

I sure am going to miss exploring on that google map though.

never knew the stream names were on there, or at least the streams I have looked at, were not named. maybe some sharp fly fishing google nerd will whip up some add-on code for us

Try MapQuest. They seem to name more small creeks. You can get aerial or street maps.

They are still there. No sure how you are looking for them but my GPS coordinates still work and they all show the stream names

Click the link and hit TERRAIN view (zoom all the way in) and it shows all the stream names

That did it, my little stream I was looking for is only named once, so I had to travel way upstream before I could see it named, but it WAS there. thanks

please don't tell my gazetteer I am cheating on it.

Well, I'm still not getting them all especially feeder streams. Another suggestion is Acme mapper and click on the topo selection. Here is a link.
