Namesake

Was Walker, CA named after Joseph R. Walker? I'm assuming so, since his bio says he began his ascension of the Sierra Nevada in nearby Bridgeport. I suppose the town could be named after the river, but the river was named after him so it would still be his name which inspired the naming of the town. I used to live in Coleville, so maybe I'm biased, but I think this info is interesting and should be added. Cornelius Cole is mentioned in the Coleville article, after all.

Also, it seems everywhere Walker travelled through during expeditions had something named after him- Walker River, Walker Pass, and Walker, AZ, just to name a couple.
