History
Local name reported in 1906 by L. M. Prindle, (in Brooks and others, 1907, pl. 4), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Probably so called because a riverboat Woodyard was located near the streams mouth. This is probably the same feature Lieutenant Allen (1887, pl. 1), USA, named Bradley River in 1885.
