[edit] "Wear" vs. "Wears"
I went with "Wears" Valley instead of "Wear" Valley, as the locals almost exclusively call it "Wears Valley." The sign at the entrance to the town says "Wears Valley (Unincorporated)" and the main road through the valley is called "Wears Valley Road." It should be noted that some federal agencies still use "Wear Valley," however.
I went with "Wear Cove," since while the locals use "Wears Cove" and "Wear Cove" interchangeably, "Wear Cove" appears on USGS topographical maps.
