いけのほとり, not いけのあぜ - the "shoreline"/"coastline"
of the pond is shaped like a gourd. (In other words, in that inimicably
Japanese style of technical hairsplitting, the pond itself is just an
amorphous body of water.)

Given the 214,000 池のほとり compared to the three 池のあぜ I dare say you're right, so that's another one for Jim then.

辺り 【あたり(P); ほとり】 (n) (in the) neighbourhood; neighborhooD; vicinity; nearby

I'm not sure what a neighborhooD is either ;-)
