Cumberland River Compact (http://cumberlandrivercompact.org/) conserves the Cumberland River (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumberland_River) from Harlan County (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlan_County,_KY) Kentucky to Smithland Kentucky at the Ohio river. The Cumberland River was called Wasioto by Native Americans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Americans_in_the_United_States) and Riviere des Chaouanons, or "river of the Shawnee," by French traders.
The river was also known as the Shawnee (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shawnee) River (or Shawanoe River) for years.
