I'm in to gulches, myself. As in Alder gulch.

A gulch is a deep V-shaped valley formed by erosion. It may contain a small stream or dry creek bed and is usually larger in size than a gully. Occasionally, sudden intense rainfall may produce flash floods in the area of the gulch.

In parts of New York and New England, the word "gulf" is used for either gulch, gorge or small canyon.

In Canada, gulch is also used to refer to:

* a narrow deep cove (Newfoundland)
* a narrow salt water channel (Nova Scotia)

very interesting. but I'm wondering if the holler isn't really a coomb. but I associate that with britian, and people here were scotirish.

ponder ponder

but it tells you people were very specific in describing and naming places

So let me see if I get this. They are all depressions in the Earth? All except the pass.
