A little additional information:

Pokegama: Algonquian, with gama, 'lake,' and the rest with the idea of jutting out, in the sense of having bays branching off. (Source: George R. Stewart, American Place Names, a concise and selective dictionary for the continental United States of America.

We take this small book with us whenever we travel. Its always fun to look up unusual names of places we pass through.
