a finger pond is a length of waterway--pond-- that makes use of a wetland area or extends an existing pond into a finger-like extension kind of like a swale. This would be a one fingered pond--more fingers to come Paul? Was this done during the PDC?

Thanks, the labels help.  
I've been into ponds for some years now, never heard of pond fingers. Learn something new every day!
