"The Finn enters the county from the county of Monaghan, and is navigable for boats as high as Cumber Bridge, on the confines of Monaghan ; the Pettigo and the Omna [Ominey] rise near Lough Derg, in Donegal, and after uniting their streams fall into the lake Erne a mile south of the town of Pettigo ; the Scillies rises near Church-Hill and takes a southern direction to the lake. There are upwards of fifty smaller streams, all contributing to augment the waters of the great central reservoir."
