there were certain named rivers and places such as Ethiopia already on the earth? Could it be because the earth is far older than our Adamic race? And notice that the man and woman created together in Gen 1:26 were not placed in Eden, but were told to RE-plenish the( rest of the) EARTH in Genesis 1:28. But the 1st Adam created alone, yet male and female in one body before the LORD removed Eve from Adam's bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh, yet they were not ever told to replenish the earth for they were naked and not ashamed because they had no genitals for they were holy beings and did not reproduce. It was only after they fell to the lower level(sin nature) that they were given skin with reproductive organs and now EVE was to bare the children for part of her punishment.... and in pain.
Gen. 2 is the history of the generations of Adam beginning in 1:1 being the old world before the flood before Genesis 1:2.
Then you have those created after all of the animals were created and named in Genesis 1:26. The first Adam had no partner so the LORD created the animals which Adam alone named but could find no partner for him, because Adam was holy, not of a fallen nature.
Gen 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

Gen 4:16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
