What's the name of the river that flows past/through Henneth Annun? Do we know?

Do you have an old copy of the Silmarillion on the shelf? The Fonstadt/Tolkien flyleaf insert has some pretty detailed maps. If I can get out my wall-sized map of M.e. I'll check it too.
Maybe you'll have luck from this image, though I had to blow it up huge and can't quite remember where the falls are in relation to the mountain range to take a guess at which river it *used* to be, but from that extrapolation, you can probably look up what that river was called at the end of the TA.

I checked "The Atlas of ME", but I didn't find the name, the description of the maps said it was a 'stream'.

That's the best place I would say to look, if it's not there, maybe it's not specifically named?

I don't believe it is mentioned anywhere. I looked through my copy of Fonstadt's Atlas of Middle Earth and also on the Encyclopedia of Arda's entry about the Window on the West and the name isn't mentioned.
My 'speculation' is it was a stream that came out of a spring on the west side of the Ephel Duath and was fed by snowmelt for part of the year which is why it is drawn so big on maps. Why it was never named by Tolkien despite being a big part of the defence of Ithilien by the Rangers, yet he named the similarly-sized stream that came down from Imlad Morgul (Morgulduin) is one of those mysteries. |
