Why are there so many lakes with the same name? How can I tell which one is which?

Net4U.com - Where Fishermen Help Each Other
There really are that many lakes with the same name in each state. Hard to believe but there are. What we're doing is putting a dash, a city or other location next to the name of the lake in an effort to distinguish them better. Until this work is completed, the only way to tell the difference is to view each one. Note: There are some duplicates and we're working to eliminate those. We either overlooked it, haven't gotten that far or just plain messed up.
