Black Volta Province

I think Mouhoun is sometimes called the Black Volta Province. I've been looking for something about this, but could not find anything. Anyway, the Black Volta does not rise in far eastern Burkina Faso, which is what is mapped on the map in this article, for the location of the park. This makes the source for this article problematic, if they call Tapoa Province in Est, the Black Volta Province. This is the Oti River, which is the eastern part of the Volta River drainage, I believe. --Blechnic (talk) 02:10, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually the location marker puts the park in Benin on the wrong side of a divide, outside of the Volta River drainage basin. --Blechnic (talk) 02:29, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
