Sona,<\/strong> or Sonia, a creek, the origin is under Wola Wierzbowska in the Ciechan\u00f3w Powiat [District], it flows around Wilk\u00f3w, through Osyski, D\u0142ugo\u0142\u0119k\u0119, Mirosy, Ko\u0142aczkowo, \u0141\u0119ki, Nieradowo, Obidzino, Ciemniewko, So\u0144sk, Go\u015bcimin, \u0141opacin, Nowe Miasto, and under Popiel\u017cynem in the P\u0142o\u0144sk Powiat, falling to the Wkra, flowing about 40 versts (0.66 miles per verst) to Ciemniewko, taking on several inflows, from which the major one comes from Nieradowa; this inflow further passes in a meadow stream, it trickles weakly in the summer, but it reaches as far as the Przasnysz-Ciechan\u00f3w road, always keeping the name of Sona. Other tributaries likewise spread in a meadow trail, one reaches Przedwojewo, at the above-mentioned road; these trails are also called Sona, so that in the southern part of the Ciechan\u00f3w Powiat, the Sona is found an almost all sides, where the water flows only in the meadows and leads to difficulty identifying its source. Starting from So\u0144sk toward its outlet, that is for the length of 25 versts, it has many mills.
