Note that rapid does not necessarily have to be interpreted as
hazard. If prominent on the ground it can be one of orienting points
(with bridges, settlements, intakes etc.) - to cover distance
covered/remaining. We have a lot of "small rapids" which can be easily
passed with no risk even with babies and they're still marked for
orienting purposes.
