I know of a place called 'Sluiskil', which is water-related, but that's about
the only one that pops up. Dave gave a better example with the Battenkill (which
is even on-topic :-)).

And then there's
Beaver Kill
Bush Kill (ewwwww)
Catskill
Lansing Kill
Plattekill
Saw Kill
Shawangunk Kill (say that three times really fast)

Methinks the early Dutch were very busy naming streams back in the
18th and 19th centuries. d;o)
