There are three types of waymarks for any river: Using the Connecticut River as an example >> Headwaters - the orgin of the river: Fourth Connecticut Lake in extreme Northern, NH >> Mouth - the termination of a river whether into an ocean, lake, or other river: Upper Long Island Sound near Old Saybrook, CT >> Confluences - rivers and streams that flow into the river: Sugar River at Claremont, NH Although these could be sub-categories, in a sense, they logically belong together so it would be a multiple waymark system. Each river would have a waymark for its headwaters, its mouth, and waymarks for any confluences along its course. These could be submitted by the same or different persons, to document the entire river.
