For what it is worth, a gully is a land feature like a ravine or canyon, whereas a wash, arroyo, or wadi like on your side of the pond is the bed of a dry water feature that intermittently flows water. Not all gullies have washes, and not all washes are found in gullies. A wash is mainly found in the SW US.
