Smith's exploration of northwestern California and southern Oregon resulted in two rivers, the [[Smith River (California)]] and [[Smith River (Umpqua River tributary)|Smith River (Oregon)]]<ref>{{cite book |last1=McArthur |first1=Lewis A.| last2=McArthur| first2=Lewis L. | year=2003| orig-date=1928|title=Oregon Geographic Names |edition= 7|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=TK0RAQAAIAAJ|location=Portland | publisher= Oregon Historical Society Press | isbn= 0-87595-277-1|pages=889–90 }}</ref> being named for him.{{efn|Smith originally named what he thought to be an unnamed river after himself, but due to a mistake in geography (later corrected by George Gibbs), it turned out the river was actually the Klamath.  His name was therefore attached to a smaller river to the north just south of California's border with Oregon, and also to the branch of the Umpqua River whose mouth was near the massacre site and where it was rumored to be his place of death.}}  Smith's Fork of the [[Bear River (Great Salt Lake)|Bear River]], in southwest Wyoming, is named for him.<ref>{{cite book|last2=Wheat |first2=Carl I|last1=Morgan|first1=Dale L|title=Jedediah Smith and his Maps of the American West|publisher=California Historical Society|location=San Francisco|year=1954|page=1}}</ref><ref>{{cite web
