UDALL, Secretary Geological Survey William T. Pecora, Director For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, DC. 20402 - Price $8.50 Foreword At 3:30 in the afternoon of October 18, 1867, on the parade ground near Baranov’s Castle in Sitka, an area of about 580,000 square miles of Russian territory was formally transferred to the United States; 92 years later this territory, Alaska, became the 49th State of the Union. Alaska extends over an area one-fifth as large as that of the conterminous United States and is unbeliev- ably rich in landscape and other natural resources, but it has com- paratively few inhabitants. This, the largest State, also contains , other extremes in geography; the highest point (Mount McKin- ley—20,320 ft.), the northernmost point (Point Barrow—71°23’ N), and relative to the Greenwich meridian, the westernmost point (Amatignak Island—179°10’ W), and the easternmost point (Pochnoi Point—179°46’ E) in the United States. The discovery of gold in Alaska in the 1890’s caused the Geo- logical Survey to undertake geographical exploration and geologi- cal and mineral-resource investigations in that remote territory. As the work progressed, the need was recognized for a names dictionary as an aid in preparing and publishing maps and reports on Alaska. In June 1900 Marcus Baker undertook the comple- tion of a dictionary begun in 1892 by the Board on Geographic Names. The first “Geographic Dictionary of Alaska” was pub- lished in 1902 as Geological Survey Bulletin 187. A second edi- tion, prepared by James McCormick, was published in 1906 as Bulletin 299. Six decades have passed since the geographic names dictionaries of Baker and McCormick were published. Alaska has now been completely mapped at the scale of 1 2 250,000 and extensively mapped at the scale of 1 : 63,360. These maps provide a wealth of geographic-names information. Names in current use, as well as many names formerly in use, have been assembled by Donald J. Orth and his colleagues into a new and greatly enlarged edition of the geographic names dictionary.

ORTH INTRODUCTION This work is an alphabetical list of the geographic names that are now applied and have been applied to places and features of the Alaska landscape. Principal names, compiled from modern maps and charts and printed in boldface type, generally reflect present-day local usage. They conform to the principles of the U.S. Board on Geographic Names for establishing standard names for use on Government maps and in other Government publica- tions. Each name entry gives the present-day spelling along with variant spellings and names; identifies the feature named; presents the origin and history of the name; and, where possible, gives the meaning of an Eskimo, Aleut, Indian, or foreign name. Variant, obsolete, and doubtful names are alphabetically listed and are cross referenced, where necessary, to the principal entries. Each name entry consists of two paragraphs. The first gives its application and location and presents variant forms. The sec- ond paragraph presents the history and meaning of the name. The order of information in the first paragraph of a name entry is as follows: Name.—The recommended name, normally conforming to present-day local and map usage in spelling and form. Designation—A standardized geographic term identifying the kind of feature named. See glossary of terms. Population or elevation—Expressed numerically. Population is determined from the 1960 census or from an earlier census indi- cated by a date in parentheses after the population number. Ele- vations are normally given for the summits of mountains, peaks, hills, and passes. For a named mountain range, group of hills, or ridges, the highest elevation is given unless it is more appropri- ate to express the average summit elevation. Elevations are deter- mined from the most recent maps of the area. Description—The application of the name to the feature and its location relative to other and more distinctive features, such as well-known mountains, lakes, or towns. The last part of the de- scription is the name of the physical region in which the feature occurs. (See fig. 1.) Geographical coordinates—Latitude and longitude for mouths of streams, canyons, and ravines; for terminal ends of glaciers; for centers of bays, lakes, mountain and hill groups, ridges, and popu- lated places; for summits of mountains, hills, peaks, and passes; and for the extremities of points of land and of some linear features requiring identification of both ends. Board on Geographic Namex decisions.—If the Board has taken action on the name or its application, the year of the most recent decision is given. Map number.—This number, shown in parentheses, indicates the U.S. Geological Survey 1': 250,000-scale quadrangle map on which the named feature or place is shown. (See fig. 2.) Variant names.—All known variant spellings and other names that have at any time been applied to the entry feature are listed alphabetically. In the second paragraph of the entries, certain stereotyped phrasing used in the entries should be explained. The phrases “named by” and “name given by” refer to the act of a person or agency applying a new or different name to a feature. The ex- pression “reported by” only means that the name was documented or reported outside the named feature’s locality. The name may have been in use many years before the documentation. The phrase “prospectors’ name” implies that the name giving was associated with the need for locating and filing a mining claim. Prospectors’ names were given arbitrarily and often borrowed from other mining areas. A Federal agency is referred to by its present official designation, abbreviation, or acronym even though it may have had a differ- ent designation at the time mentioned in the Dictionary entry. Exceptions to this rule involve obsolete agencies and those com- bined with others due to reorganization. The military title of a person refers to the rank he possessed on the date mentioned in the entry. Where a published reference is not given for historical and quoted information, the information has been obtained from the Alaskan files and records of the U.S. Geological Survey, which date back to 1884-. The reasons for giving a new name or chang- ing an old one have been carefully recorded in the entry, in the exact words written by the person or agency responsible. This wording is shown in quotation marks. Russian names are spelled according to the transliteration sys- tem recommended by the Board on Geographic Names. Meanings are given but may not be precise inasmuch as many of the Russian names used words or terms which were peculiar to the Kamchatka area of Siberia more than a hundred years ago, and present-day dictionaries may not give accurate connotations. Russian per- sonal names, however, are given according to the present-day conventional spelling.

For another classification, see “Physiographic Divisions of Alaska,” by Wahrhaftig i (1965). Native names presented the largest problem in compiling this dictionary. The native languages do not have established written forms, and the transcription of names from Eskimo, Aleut, or Indian into our Roman alphabet (some by way of the Russian Cyrillic alphabet), by nonlinguists, is extremely varied. The only ‘ choice was to present the names and their meanings as docu- mented. Wherever possible, spellings based on the orthography recommended by the Board on Geographic Names have been 3.: added in brackets. This orthography, simply stated, is tha€:con- sonants are pronounced except in a few diphthongs. Care should be taken in accepting the meaning of a native name listed in this dictionary. Often the meaning reported by a fieldman may ex- press the reason for giving the name instead of the denotatipn of the word or words constituting the name. A real understanding requires knowledge of both the reason for giving a name aria the meaning of the name, along with the relationship between the two. 3 EXPLANATION OF FIGURE 1 NORTHERN ALASKA 1.

St. Lawrence Island Origin of Names The second paragraph of a name entry gives the available in- formation concerning the origin (or derivation), history, and meaning of the name. The circumstances involved in the nam- ing of some places are not known. Alaskan geographic names, however, are comparatively new, few being so old or so corrupt that their origins or meanings are wholly concealed. They are derived almost exclusively from six general sources, as follows: Russian names.—Vitus Bering, sent by Empress Anne of Russia, made landfall on the coast near Mount St. Elias on July 16, 1741, and thus is officially recognized as the discoverer of Alaska. There is evidence, however, that a Russian party landed on the Seward Peninsula as early as 1732. After Bering’s discovery, Russian in- terest centered on the lucrative fur trade, which began with the visits of hunting parties, the promyshlenniki, and evolved into the powerful Russian American Company. The first permanent Rus- sian settlement was established on Three Saints Bay, Kodiak Island, in 1784 and was later moved to St. Paul Harbor in 1792. The first Russian post in southeast Alaska, founded by Alexander Baranov in 1799, was near present-day Sitka. Russian explorations of Alaska, which continued until the purchase by the United States in 1867, was primarily confined to the Aleutians and the southern coastal areas, with some expansion up the Yukon and Kuskokwim Rivers. Thus, the major period of application of Russian names lasted about 125 years. Although many Russian names were translated after the American purchase, several hundred are still applied to Alaskan features. Spanish names.—Spanish exploration of Alaska was competitive with the Russian exploration. The expeditions sent out by Spain (or Mexico) were limited for the most part to the south coast, from the southern boundary of Alaska to Prince William Sound. One expedition traveled as far west as Unalaska and named a few points along that coast. In general, names of Spanish origin in Alaska are few and were given between 1774 and 1780 ; they originated mainly in 1775 and 1779 with the expeditions of Lt. Ignacio Arteaga and Bodega y Quadra. once applied to the Alaskan landscape have never been widely used because of tardy and obscure publication. Many Spanish names British namex.—British naming activity in Alaska began with the 1778 expedition of Capt. James Cook. From time to time during the subsequent 80 years, English traders and naval officers con- tributed to the knowledge of Alaskan geography, and most of the names of major coastal features can be attributed to them. Note- worthy contributions in the 18th century were made by Captains G. Dixon, J. Meares, and N. Portlock; British fur traders; and especially Capt. George Vancouver, RN, during his extensive exploration and survey of the coast from Kodiak eastward and southward to Dixon Entrance from 1792 to 1794. Vancouver named many features, and because those features were fully de- scribed and mapped and the results published, most of the names remain unchanged today. During the 19th century, major con- tributions were made by Capt. F. Beechey, RN, 1826—27; Sir John Franklin, 1826; Sir Edward Belcher, RN, 1836—42; P. Dease and T. Simpson, factors of the Hudson Bay Company, 1837 ; and most especially the so-called Franklin search expeditions, 1848—54. , 15% T471418 “1'4 14'? 143142 ;‘ 1 , . 0 133 132 133 1] 12? 126 25 it}, ' 3 4 ~ v.3: 2.7;;Trafi \ ego: 115 11 49; 10? 1 107 1 I, 9997‘” 9 J 911' 89 $8 ()5 9 80 $1 7‘ 7 71- \m .55? y 115? w 53} 5 .

The ill-fated La Pérouse ex- pedition in 1786 was the only French voyage that contributed names to Alaskan features. American names.—American whalers first entered the Arctic Ocean through Bering Strait in 1848 and thus began the Ameri- can contribution to Alaska geographic names which has contin- ued to the present day. The earliest large contribution was made by the US. Navy’s North Pacific Exploring Expedition of 1855, chiefly in the Aleutian Islands and Bering Sea. Since the 9 purchase of Alaska in 1867, many ofl'icial expeditions have fax- plored, surveyed, mapped, and named Alaskan features. The earliest work fell to the US. Coast and Geodetic Survey (then Coast Survey), which directed its effort primarily to the Gulf of Alaska littoral. Systematic official exploration of the interior? of Alaska began with Lt. F. Schwatka, USA, who made a recon- naissance of the Yukon River from source to mouth in 1883. The Revenue Marine Service Navy, Army, Bureau of the Census, and several other Federal agencies all contributed significantly throughout Alaska.

The closing years of the 19th century brought large numbers of prospectors to the northern frontier, and their primary need was for maps and information to guide them through the country. To fulfill this need, the U.S. Geological Survey began a program of explora- tion and mapping in 1898, and through its topographic and geo- logical work has since become a major force in establishing and documenting Alaskan names. Native names.—A major contributor of geographic names has been the indigenous people of Alaska. In this work the native peoples have been divided into three linguistic groups—-Indian, Eskimo, and Aleut. These divisions are not uniform because Aleut is considered a divergent branch of the Eskimo linguistic stock; however, the grouping is one of historical and geographic convenience. (See fig. 3.) A high percentage of Aleut names was obtained and first recorded by the Russians. The Eskimo occupied most of the Alaskan coast from Kayak Island, near the mouth of the Copper River, to the Canadian boundary on the Arctic coast, except the upper end of Cook Inlet and that part of the Alaska Peninsula which, with the Aleutian Islands, was occu- pied by the Aleut. The Indian occupied most of the interior and southeastern Alaska; most of the languages are, or are thought to be related to, Athapascan. The Tsimshiam of Annette Island 237—141 0—67—~2 have migrated from the Skeena River area of British Columbia since 1887. See distribution map of Eskimo, Aleut, and Indian linguistic areas in 1890 (fig. 3). Eskimo, Aleut, and Indian names, like those of the Europeans, are generally commonplace and descriptive. Native naming hab- its, however, have two characteristic differences. The natives tend to name many small, even minute, landmark features and ignore those that are large. Few mountains were named unless they stood alone and had some peculiar characteristic. For foot, boat, or sled travel, there was no need to name large and vague features. In addition, the natives commonly applied several names to one feature, based on the characteristics of its particu- lar parts. along their lengths. Many streams, even short ones, had various names Many of the native names now appearing on published maps are long and unpronounceable by the average English—speaking person. Geographic names evolve historically, their origins and forms being closely associated with the languages of the peoples who suc- Thus, many native names are changed or altered in form as a result of adjusting to the new language—— However altered, many of these names have become or will become firmly established as cessively occupy the area.

This is a universal process. part of the native heritage of the Alaska landscape. 600 1 a 6“ ALEUTIAN 52° 100 200 illll l I V\ “)0“; ‘3‘ m Tanana —TANAI‘\IA ‘\ 3C1)O EXPLANATION KUTCHIN :3 1‘ % k, / 09;.

Sources of Names Many published maps, charts, manuscript maps, fieldsheets, name records, books, letters, and persons were consulted in pre- paring this work. Each entry in this dictionary aims to give ref- erence to the source of the listed name. Source is herein de- fined as the first documentation of the name and its application. This section lists alphabetically many of the principal sources used in the dictionary. Dates in the boldface headings refer to the time spent on Alaskan or Russian American affairs. Dates following a person’s name in the discussion refer to birth and death years. The source information should be used in conjunc- tion with the “Selected bibliography” given in the dictionary. Abercrombie, William Ralph: 1884—19? Capt. William Ralph Abercrombie, l857—19?, USA, an aide of Gen. N. A. Miles, was selected in 1884 to lead an exploring expedition up the Copper River and across the Alaska Range to the Yukon River. His attempt to ascend the Copper River was unsuccessful although he was able to survey the Copper River Delta and a portage route to Port Valdez. Abercrombie returned to Alaska in the spring of 1898 with more than 20 men. The expedition was divided into two par- ties: one, led by F. C. Schrader, USGS, assisted by Emil Mahlo, topographer, made reconnaissance surveys of the Prince William Sound and Copper River districts, and the other, led by Lt. P. G. Lowe, USA, traversed the trail from Valdez to Mentasta Pass, then to the Yukon via the Fortymile and Sixtymile Rivers. Aber- crombie’s report was published with that of Capt. E. F. Glenn. Abercrombie returned to Alaska the following year with in- structions to construct a military road from Valdez to Fort Eg- bert on the Yukon. Accompanying Abercrombie was Oscar Rohn, who made a geologic reconnaissance and topographic sur- vey in the Wrangell Mountains and adjacent areas and provided a report of a route for reaching the interior goldfields of Alaska and Canada. Rohn’s report was published in 1900 in the Twenty- first Annual Report of the Geological Survey. Abercrombie’s report was published by the U.S. Congress in “Compilation of Narratives of Explorations in Alaska.” Abercrombie Mountain in the Valdez area was named for him. Alaska Road Commission: 1905-56 The Alaska Road Commission was established by the US. War Department (later called the U.S. Department of Defense) in 1905 to survey and develop roads, trails, and mail routes between the coast and the mining areas. In 1932 the Alaska Road Commission was transferred to the U.S. Department of the Interior, where it remained until 1956 when its functions were assumed by the Bu- reau of Public Roads of the U.S. Department of Commerce. A survey of a land route for a mail and pack trail from Fairbanks to Council City on the Seward Peninsula was made during the sum- mer of 1906 under Major Wilds P. Richardson, 1861—1929, USA, president of the Alaska Road Commission. By 1917 the Alaska Road Commission had made 980 miles of wagon roads, 549 miles of sled roads, and 2,291 miles of trail. The principal wagon road was the Fairbanks-Valdez Road, now known as the Richardson Highway, named for Maj. Richardson. The 371-mile road connected the interior of Alaska with the Pacific Ocean. In the early 1920’s compilation of a series of 13 maps of the region south of Brooks Range was begun. In addition to wagon roads, sled roads, pack trails, and physical features, the maps showed the towns and villages with the latest census population and locations of shelter cabins along the trails. In addition, sev- eral reports have been made by the Alaska Road Commission that provide cartographic and toponymic material 011 Alaska. Allen, Henry Tureman: 1385 Lt. (later Gen.) Henry Tureman Allen, 1859—1930, USA, graduated from West Point in 1882 and in 1884 was assigned to Sitka as an aide to Gen. Nelson A. Miles. In the summer of 1885 he made a remarkable journey of 1,500 miles with a com- plement of four men: Pvt. Frederick W. Fickett and Sgt. Cady Robertson, of the Army, and two prospectors, Peder Johnson, who was recruited at Nuchek, and John Bremner, who joined the group at Taral. On March 29 they ascended the Copper River, made a side trip up the Chitina, and proceeded to the head of ' the Chitistone. They resumed the voyage up the Copper, then up the Slana and down the Tetlin and Tanana to the Yukon. From there Allen and F ickett portaged to the Kanuti and traveled thence to the Koyukuk, where they proceeded upstream. They returned down the Koyukuk to the Yukon, then portaged to the Unalakleet and traveled down it to St. Michael. Allen named a considerable number of features, and his journey was subse- quently praised as one of the greater explorations in the history of North America. The results were published in 1887. Allen Glacier and Mountain, near the head of the Tanana River, were named for this distinguished explorer. Archimandritov: 1848-50 Capt. Archimandritov (cnna) made surveys in the Kenai Pen- insula and Kodiak Island areas about 1850 while in command of a Russian American Company(?) vessel. Some of his results were probably used in Tebenkov’s atlas; copies of his manuscript maps and charts were used by the Russian American Company. His survey of Port Graham, Cook Inlet, was published as a harbor chart in 1869 by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. See Tebenkov. Arey, H. T.: 1901-3. See Marsh. Artcaga, Don Ignacio: 1779. See Spanish Expeditions. Bagley, James Warren: 1907-16 James Warren Bagley, 1881—1947, USGS topographer from 1905 to 1918, began his Alaskan career in 1907 in the Yukon- Tanana region. This work continued until 1911 when he began topographic surveys in south-central Alaska, which continued for 5 years. During this period, Bagley experimented with the use of panoramic cameras for mapping. Baker, Marcus: 1873—8O Marcus Baker, 1849—1903, USC&GS from 1873 to 1886 and USGS from 1886 to 1903. Baker surveyed the Aleutian Islands and the Alaskan coast from Dixon Entrance to Point Belcher on the Arctic coast in 1873, 1874, and 1880 in the party of W. H. Dall. In May 1880, through the courtesy of Capt. L. A. Beardslee, USN, he made a boat journey from Sitka to Chilkat and returned to Sitka. The names given by himself and the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey personnel during this period of 7 years are re- corded in the 1883 Coast Pilot, which he and W. H. Dall prepared. When working for the U.S. Geological Survey, Baker prepared the first listing of Alaskan names, published in the Twenty-first Annual Report of the U.S. Geological Survey in 1900. This work led directly to the first “Geographic Dictionary of Alaska,” published as Bulletin 187 in 1902. Baker began preparation of a second edition but died before its completion. James McCormick, USGS, continued the work, which resulted in the 1906 “Geographic Dic- tionary of Alaska,” published as Bulletin 299. Barnard, Edward Chester: 1898-1900 Edward Chester Barnard, 1863—1921, USGS, topographer, sur- veyed the Fortymile River mining area in the summer of 1898 and made surveys on the Seward Peninsula in the summer of 1900. His work in the Fortymile district was published in 1899 on pages 174—177 of Public Resolution 25, U.S. 55th Congress, second session, titled “Maps and Descriptions of Routes of Ex- ploration in Alaska in 1898,” and was also published in 1901 as an atlas sheet of the US. Geological Survey titled “Reconnais- sances of the Cape Nome and Norton Bay Regions, Alaska, in 1900.” His fieldsheets are the sources of over 200 prospectors’ names listed in the present dictionary. Beardslee, Lester Anthony: 1879—80 Capt. (later Rear Adm.) Lester Anthony Beardslee, 1836—1903, USN, in command of the USS famestown, was sent to Sitka in 1879 because of the threat of an Indian uprising. Capt. Beards- lee attempted to organize the local government, negotiated with the Indians to open Chilkoot Pass, and policed the illegal manu- facture of liquor. Among the officers were Lt. (later Rear Adm.) Frederick Martin Symonds, 1846—1926, and Lt. (later Comdr.) Gustavus C. Hanus, 18484931, both of whom had worked for the US. Coast and Geodetic Survey and were enthusiastic sur- veyors. The personnel of the jamestown examined much of Alexander Archipelago, and their work increased the geographic knowledge of that area and included the reporting of many new geographic names. A map of Sitka Harbor was made, and was published by the Coast and Geodetic Survey. Beardslee’s report was published in 1882. Beardslee’s name has been given to a group of islands, a passage, and a river. A bay, island, point of land, and reef have been named for Hanus. A bay and point of land were named for Symonds. Becker, George Ferdinand: 1895 George Ferdinand Becker, 1847—1919, USGS geologist, accom- panied by W. H. Dall and C. W. Purington, visited Alaska in 1895 for the purpose of examining and reporting on its coal and gold resources. Their examination was confined to the south coast from Sitka to Unalaska. It included several localities in the Alexander Archipelago, in the Kodiak and Cook Inlet areas, and along the Alaska Peninsula. Bogoslof Island. Beechey, Frederick William: 1826-27 Capt. (later Rear Adm.) Frederick William Beechey, 1796— 1856, RN, in command of H.M.S. Blossom, was sent from the Pacific Ocean through the Bering Strait to join Sir John Franklin, who was approaching Point Barrow from the east. Capt. Beechey arrived at Kotzebue Sound on July 22, 1826. Sailing north he made surveys along the coast to Point Barrow, the later part of the journey being accomplished by the ship’s Mate, Thomas Elson, in an open boat. Beechey left Kotzebue Sound October 13 and passing through Unimak Strait, reached San Francisco on November 7. He returned to Kotzebue Sound on August 5, 1827, and the remainder of the season was spent in surveys about the Seward Peninsula. He left Alaskan waters in October. Bering, Ivan Ivanovich: 1728—41 Capt. Comdr. Ivan Ivanovich (Vitus) Bering, 1680—1741, a Dane who entered the Imperial Russian Navy in 1704, is gen- erally credited with the discovery of the American continent in the area now called Alaska. He was originally sent to the east by Peter the Great of Russia in 1728 to determine whether Asia and North America were a continuous landmass. He sailed the The trip ended with a visit to St. Gabriel, and it was on this trip that probably the first non- native name was applied to what is now a part of Alaska, when Bering sighted and named St. Lawrence Island in August 1728. It appears, however, that he did not see any part of the American continent. In 174-1 Bering made his famous voyage of discovery. After a long and involved overland expedition from St. Pctersburg, he sailed from Petropavlovsk, Avacha Bay, on June 4- (O.S.) , com- manding the St. Peter, with a crew of 75, accompanied by Capt. Lt. Alexei (Alexsei) Ilich Chirikov (?—1748) commanding the St. Paul, with 76 men. With Bering was Georg Wilhelm Steller, 1709—46, naturalist, and sailing with Chirikov was Prof. Delisle (Louis de l’Isle) de la Croyére (?—1741). Both ships sailed east- ward together, but on the 20th (O.S.) they were separated by a storm and did not meet again. Bering made landfall, sighting Mount St. Elias on July 16 (OS). A few days later he landed Steller on Kayak Island for a few hours and then turned back, touching the Shumagin Islands and sighting several of the Aleu- tian Islands. He was driven ashore on Bering Island (U.S.S.R.) , where he died of scurvy in December, sailing master Sven Waxel assuming command. Chirikov, after the separation, continued to sail eastward, sight- ing land in the Alexander Archipelago, probably in the Sitka area, on July 15 (OS). On July 18 (0.8.) the first of tWo boats were sent ashore, the crews of both disappearing without a trace. After several days of waiting, Chirikov was forced to leave, his return taking him near the south end of Kenai Penin- sula, near Kodiak Island, and along the Aleutian Islands; he returned to Petropavlovsk in October. Several features in and adjacent to Alaska are named for Bering and Steller. Chirikov is commemorated by Chirikof Island and Waxel by Waxell Ridge in the Bering Glacier area. Billings, Joseph: 1790—92 1 Capt. (later Commodore) Joseph Billings, 1761?—1806, IRiN, commanded a Russian exploring and surveying expedition to Alaska in 1790—92. He began his naval career in the Royal Navy and served on the Discovery during the expedition of Capt. James Cook, RN, in 1776—79. In 1783, he was assigned to the Imperial Russian Navy, and shortly afterward, in 1784, preparations for his expedition began. Empress Catherine of Russia issued an edict in 1785, officially appointing Billings to command‘ ‘A Secret Astro- nomical and Geographical Expedition for navigating the Frodnen Sea, describing its Coasts, and ascertaining the Situation of the Islands in the Seas between the two Continents of Asia and Amer- ica” (Bancroft, 1886, p.282). Billings’ first attempt in 1787 was He sailed again in 1790 commanding the Slava Rossiy (Glory of Russia) and visited the Aleutian Islands and Kodiak Island before returning. In 1791 he visited the Near Is- lands, Tanaga, Pribilof, and St. Lawrence Islands, and the Aleu- tian Islands from Atka to Unalaska. Blake, Eugene: 1899—1901. Blake, William P.: 1863.

British Admiralty The British Admiralty published many charts relating to the early explorations of Alaska. Most of these were compilations from, or reproductions of, other maps previously made under the direction of Captains Cook, Beechey, and Vancouver, Sir John Franklin, and the officers of the Franklin searching expedition, and many were from published Russian charts. Some names on British Admiralty charts have not been traced to any other source, and for such names reference is simply made to the British Admiralty. Brooks, Alfred Hulse: 1898—1912 Alfred Hulse Brooks, 1871—1924, USGS geologist from 1898 to 1923, first came to Alaska in 1898 as a geologist in the party of W. J. Peters, making geologic studies in the Tanana and White Again in 1899, with Peter’s party, he made a recon- naissance from Pyramid Harbor at the head of Lynn Canal to He spent the summer season of 1900 on Seward Peninsula, his assistants being George Burr Richard- son, 1872—1949, USGS geologist, and A. J Collier. In 1901 he made a geologic examination of the Ketchikan mining district, River basins. Eagle on the Yukon River. southeastern Alaska, and a more hasty reconnaissance of the northern belt of southeastern Alaska. In 1902 Brooks conducted an exploring expedition, including seven men and 20 pack horses, from the head of Cook Inlet to Rampart, on the Yukon, with D. L. Reaburn, topographer, and L. M. Prindle, geologic assistant. From Tyonek, on Cook Inlet, the route lay northwest across the Skwentna River to the Kitch- atna, up this stream and through Rainy Pass, down the Kusko- kwim River a short distance, and then northeast 200 miles along the northwest base of the Alaska Range to the Kantishna River drainage. From there they traveled northwest, then north along the 149th meridian across the Tanana and Tolovana Rivers, to Rampart, on the Yukon. In 1903 Brooks was placed in charge of the U.S. Geological Survey division of Alaskan mineral resources and later became Chief Alaskan Geologist. For reports on his work, see bibli- ography. His early work was published in the Twentieth Annual Report of the Geological Survey (Pt. 7, p. 425—494) and in the Twenty-first Annual Report (Pt. 2, p. 331—391). The report on the work of 1900 on Seward Peninsula was in a separate publica- tion of the Geological Survey (1901, p. 1—180), titled “Recon- naissances of the Cape Nome and Norton Bay Regions, Alaska, in 1900.” The report for 1901 was published as Geological Sur- vey Professional Paper 1 (1902). The report on the 1902 expedi- tion may be found in the Twenty-second Annual Report of the Geological Survey (Pt. 3, p. 515—571). Brooks was vice chairman of the Alaska Railroad Commission in 1911—12 and chief geologist of the American Expeditionary Force during World War I. Brooks is commemorated in Alaska by the Brooks Range and Mount Brooks in the Alaska Range. Broughton, William Robert: 1792—94. See Vancouver. Bucareli, Antonio Maria: 1775—79.

Don Jacinto Caamafio was sent in 1792 by the Viceroy of Mexico, Count de Revilla Gigedo, in the corvette Aranzazu, to explore the northwest coast of North America from the Strait of Juan de F uca northward. He left Mexico March 20, 1792, ar- rived in Bucareli Bay July 12, surveyed southward along the coasts of Alaska and British Columbia, and returned to Mexico February 6, 1793. Capt. George Vancouver, RN, met Caamafio in the field and apparently obtained copies of some of his maps, especially of places north of Dixon Entrance, which were incorporated in Van- couver’s work. ( See fig. 4-.) Camden, B. H.: 1899—1901. Cantwell, John C.: 1884—1901 Lt. John C. Cantwell, USRCS, was taken to Cape Krusenstern in 1884 by Capt. Michael A. Healy, USN, commander of the reve- nue cutter Corwin. Cantwell, preceding by a few days the naval expedition of Lt. G. M. Stoney, ascended the Kobuk River about 185 miles. On his return he explored Selawik Lake and vicinity. Cantwell repeated his journey in 1885, traveling up the Kobuk to Walker Lake, which he named. Also disembarking from the Corwin in the summer of 1885 was 2d Asst. Eng. S. B. McLenegan, USRCS, who with one man explored about 250 miles up the Noatak. Reports of Cantwell’s and McLenegan’s 1885 explora- tions were published in 1889 and 1887, respectively, under the authorship of Capt. Healy. In the summers of 1899, 1900, and 1901, Cantwell commanded the revenue steamer N univak on the Yukon River, and he wintered at the mouth of the Dal] River during these years. From infor- mation gathered while on this duty, including a reconnaissance of the Dall River—Koyukuk Trail by 3d Lt. Eugene Blake, USRCS, and a reconnaissance of the Koyukuk River by 2d Lt. B. H. Cam- den, USRCS, sketch charts of the Yukon and Koyukuk Rivers were constructed but were not published. Cantwell’s report of the cruises of the Nunivak was published in 1902. Capps, Stephan Reid: 1908-36 Stephan Reid Capps, 1881—1949, USGS geologist from 1907 to 1945, began his geological surveys in Alaska in 1908 and continued his Alaskan studies throughout the southern part of the State until 1936. Carter, F. G.: 1901—3. See Marsh. Chapin, Theodore Shefl‘ield: 1910-19? Theodore Sheffield Chapin, 1876—19?, USGS geologist from 1910 to 1920, did geological surveys in the southeast quarter of the State, including the Yukon-Tanana, Nelchina-Susitna, Brem- ner, Seward Peninsula, and Ketchikan regions. Chernov, Ivan: 1832-38 Ivan Chernov, ?—187 7, was a Russian American Company pilot who made various surveys in the Aleutian Islands in the early 1830’s. These surveys were primarily at Amlia Island in the Andreanof group, and in the Rat Island group. Chernov, a creole, was given by the Indians to the Russians in 1804- as a hostage and was returned in 1805. During this year he was sent to the Russian navigation school at Sitka, after which he began a long period of service with the Russian American Company.

Chernof Cape, on the north coast of Kodiak Island, was named for this navigator. Chirikov, Alexei Ilich: 1741-412. See Bering. Clerke, Charles: 1778. See Cook. Clover, Richardson: 1885 Lt. Comdr. (later Rear Adm.) Richardson Clover, 1846—1919, USN, commanding the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey steamer Patterson, made surveys in the south end of the Alexander Archi- pelago in the summer of 1885. Extracts from his reports were published in the Coast and Geodetic Survey Annual Report for 1886. A bay, an island, a passage, and a point of land have been named for Clover. Coghlan, Joseph Bullock: 1884 Comdr. (later Rear Adm.) Joseph Bullock Coghlan, 1844‘ 1908, USN, commanded the U.S.S. Adams in southeast Alaska in the summer of 1884. He surveyed the interior passages north and east from Sitka Sound, through Peril Strait to Chatham Strait, and in and about Barlow Cove at the south end of Lynn Canal. The results of this work were incorporated on U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts 727 and 728, published in 1885. An island in the Alexander Archipelago was named for Coghlan in 1885. Collier, Arthur James: 1900—1904 Arthur James Collier, 1866—1939, USGS geologist, began his Alaskan work as assistant to A. H. Brooks in the Cape Nome region, Seward Peninsula, in 1900. An account of this work was published as a U.S. Geological Survey special report, “Recon- naissance of the Cape Nome and Norton Bay Regions, Alaska, 1900.” The notes on climate and vegetation in that report were written by Collier. He returned to the Seward Peninsula in 1901 as geologist with T. G. Gerdine’s party. In 1902 Collier, with two assistants, made an examination of the coal deposits along the Yukon River from Dawson to the delta. Collier’s fieldsheets along the Yukon River were the source of numerous names for the present dictionary. In 1903 Collier, with F. C. Hess as assistant, returned to the Seward Peninsula in order to continue mineral-resource investi- gations and visited nearly all placer-mining camps on the penin- sula. He also examined the tin deposits in the York region. In 1904 he spent 46 days making supplementary observations on the gold and tin deposits of the Seward Peninsula, and he then spent a month making a reconnaissance of the Cape Lisburne coal de- posits. Collier also made a geologic and topographic survey along the coast and several miles inland, from Cape Beaufort to Cape Thompson, a distance of 140 miles. An account of these opera- tions may be found in the Twenty-sixth Annual Report of the Geological Survey, 1905. Collier’s fieldsheets of the reconnais- sance were the source of some Eskimo geographic names. Colnett, James: 1789. See Meares. Cook, James: 1778 Capt. James Cook, RN, 1728—99, went to sea as an apprenticed seaman and entered the Royal Navy at the age of 27. He rose in 11 rank by merit and was sent on two scientific expeditions—the first to the South Pacific in 1768—71 and the second to Antarctica in 1772—75. In July 1776 the British Admiralty instructed Capt. Cook to proceed with Capt. Charles Clerke, RN, to the northwest coast of North America and from there north in an attempt to find a passage by sea from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Cook commanded the Resolution and Clerke the Discovery. The ships sailed from Plymouth to Cape of Good Hope, New Zealand, Tahiti, the Hawaiian Islands, and Nootka Sound in Vancouver Island, arriv- ing March 30, 1778. From then until October 3, 1778, Cook cruised northward and westward along the North American coast to Icy Cape, in the Arctic Ocean, and sketched the chief outlines of this coast, heretofore practically unknown. During this trip Cook applied names to numerous features that were discovered. Leaving Unalaska on October 27, 1788, he returned to the Ha- waiian Islands where he was killed by the natives on February 14, 1779. The two vessels later returned to the northwest coast of North America for additional exploration but, being unable to find a northwest passage, turned south and sailed for England, arriving there on October 4, 1780. The British Admiralty published in 1784—85 an account of this voyage in three volumes and a large atlas. Cook is commemorated in Alaska by Cook Inlet and Mount Cook. Coxe, William: 1780 William Coxe (later Reverend, Archdeacon of Wilts), an English scholar, visited the Russian court in St. Petersburg and was given permission by Empress Catherine to search the archives and study the records of the early Russian discoveries made between Asia and America from 1741 to 1780. The result of his research was published in 1780 under the title “Account of the Russian Discoveries between Asia and America.” The third edition of this work, published in London in 1787, was frequently used in the preparation of this dictionary in connection with early naming in the Aleutian Islands, Alaska Peninsula, and Kodiak Island. Croyére, Louis de l’Isle de la: 1741. See Bering. Dall, William Healy: 1865-99 - William Healy Dall, 1845—1927, first went to Alaska in 1865 in the employment of the Western Union Telegraph Expedition. In 1867 Dall succeeded Robert Kennicott as director of the scien- tific corps of the Western Union Expedition. He returned to the United States in 1868 and wrote “Alaska and its Resources,” which was published in 1870. In 1871 Dall was appointed Acting Assistant of the U.S. Coast Survey (later U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey). Aboard the Humboldt in 1871 and 1872 and the Yukon in 1873 and 1874, Dall made reconnaissance surveys along the coast from Sitka westward to Attu at the end of the Aleutians and northward in the Bering Sea as far as Nunivak and the Pribilof Islands. Mark Walrod Harrington assisted Dall in 1871—72. Dall returned to Washington, DC, at the end of 1874 in order to write the 1879 Coast Pilot and its appendix, with the assistance of Marcus Baker. In 1880 Dall again returned to Alaska aboard the Yukon and cruised along the coast from Sitka to Unalaska and northward nearly to Point Barrow. The result of this trip was a series of some 50 charts and plans published by the Coast and Geodetic Survey as well as the 1883 Coast Pilot and its appendix. In 1884 Dall resigned from the Coast and Geodetic Survey and began work with the US. Geological Survey as a paleontologist detailed to the US. National Museum where he was curator of the Division of Mollusks and Tertiary Fossils until his death. In 1895 he returned to Alaska accompanied by G. F. Becker and C. W. Purington for the purpose of studying and reporting on coal and gold resources. In 1899 he returned to Alaska with the Harriman Expedition. Dall reported a large number of names in Alaska in his early publications and is also credited with giving a considerable num- ber of names. In commemoration of this distinguished person, Dall Mountain in the McKinley Range and Dall Island in south- eastern Alaska, as well as several other features in Alaska, were named for him. Davidov, Gavril Ivanovich: 1803 Two Russian naval officers, Gavril Ivanovich Davidov, 1784— 1809, IRN, and Lt. Nikolai Alexandrovich Khwostov, 1776—1809, IRN, traveled from St. Petersburg to Sitka in 1802—4 for the pur- pose of scientific research along the Aleutian Islands and Kodiak Island and in the Cook Inlet area. This voyage was undertaken with their Government’s permission under the auspices of the Russian American Company. Davidov wrote an account of the journey, including descriptions of the places visited, which was published in two volumes in St. Petersburg in 1810 and 1812. Davidson, George: 1867—69 Assistant George Davidson, 1825—1911, went to Alaska prior to its purchase by the United States aboard the revenue cutter Lin- coln. He did reconnaissance work ofi‘ the coast while the final negotiations were underway, making observations at Sitka, Chilkat, Kodiak, and Unalaska. His report was published in the US. Coast and Geodetic Survey Annual Report for 1867 and separately as “Coast Pilot of Alaska, First Part, from Southern Boundary to Cook’s Inlet.” Davidson also provided material for charts of Sitka, St. Paul Harbor, Kodiak, and Captains Bay on Unalaska Island, which were published by the Coast and Geodetic Survey in 1869. Davidson returned to Alaska in 1869 to do further recon- naissance surveying in the Alexander Archipelago. While in the Chilkat River valley, he observed the total solar eclipse on August 7, 1869. Subsequently, he returned to the United States where he worked with G. R. Putnam and others until his separation from the Coast and Geodetic Survey in 1895. Several features in Alaska were named for this scientist. Dease, Peter Warren: 1837. See Simpson. Delisle de la Croyére, Louis: 1741. Dickins, Edmund Finlay: 1899—1905 Assistant Edmund Finlay Dickins, USC&GS, was in command of the US. Coast and Geodetic Survey steamer Gedney from 1899 to 1905. In 1899 he connected the triangulation surveys of Chatham and Sumner Straits. In 1901—2, Dickins joined J. F. Pratt in making hydrographic and topographic surveys in the Alexander Archipelago from Chatham Strait to Inian Islands, See Bering. 12 and in 1903—4 he did survey work in the Davidson Inlet and Iphigenia Bay area. The surveys extended from Moira Sdund to bays on Prince of Wales Island. His reports were published by the Coast and Geodetic Survey 1n its annual reports in 1900 and 1902—4 and incorporated onto the charts. Dixon, George: 1786—87. See Portlock. Doroshin, Peter P.: 1848 Peter P. Doroshin, mining engineer of the Russian American Company, was sent to its American possessions in 1847 to exam- ine the gold resources. He traveled in the ship Atka to Baranof Island and Cook Inlet. His results were published in the Rus- sian Mining Journal for 1866. Douglas, William: 1788. See Meares. Dufiield, Will Ward: 1897 In April 1897 Assistant Will Ward Duflield, 1841—?, USC&GS, was directed to conduct a topographical survey of the Pribilof Islands and the seal rookeries. Assisting in this survey were Fremont Morse, G. R. Putnam, and G. L. Flower. Complete topographical surveys were made of St. Paul, St. George, Walrus, and Otter Islands. Results of these surveys were published on US. Coast and Geodetic Survey charts in 1898. A Eakin, Henry Miner: 1907—21 ll Henry Miner Eakin, 1883—1936, USGS geologist, did‘geo- logical surveys for 11 years in Alaska. Eldridge, George Homans: 1898 George Homans Eldridge, 1854—1905, USGS geologist, with Robert Muldrow, 1864—1946, USGS topographer from 1887 to 1928, made a reconnaissance of the Susitna River basin in the summer of 1898. Their explorations extended from the head of Cook Inlet up the Susitna to about the north boundary of present Mount McKinley National Park. Both men are com- memorated by features such as Mount Eldridge and Mn] row Glacier, in the Mount McKinley region. Elliott: Henry Wood: 1872—76 Henry Wood Elliott, 1846—1930, a naturalist, was chosen as a member of the scientific corps of the 1865—67 Western Union Telegraphic Expedition but served solely in Canada. In 1872 he was appointed assistant agent of the US. Treasury Depart- ment for the Pribilof Islands. He remained in this position the following year. In 1874, aboard the revenue cutter Reliance, under command of Capt. Baker (cnna) , Elliott and Lt. Washlliurn Maynard, USN, visited the Pribilof Islands and the islands of Sitka, Kodiak, Unalaska, St. Matthew, and St. Lawrence. His reports were published in 1875 and 1876. He also wrote a mono- graph on the Pribilof Islands, which was published in the 10th Census, in 1880, and as separate editions in 1881 and 1882. Included in the monograph were two maps of Pribilof Islands made in 1874 by Elliott and Maynard. Many names were ob- tained from these maps and text for the present dictionary. Erickson Hjalmar: 1900—1902 First Lt. Hjalmar Erickson, USA, was “selected for the duty of exploring and locating the most feasible route for a military road from Camp Rampart [Rampart], or some point in the vicinity, to Fort Egbert [Eagle], Alaska, southward of the Yukon Flats * * *.” Following this official order Erickson, assisted by William Yanert, a civilian employee of the U.S. Anny Signal Corps, left St. Michael in August 1900 and spent several months exploring and mapping the area between Rampart and Eagle on the south side of the Yukon River. The sketch maps made by the expedition furnished many new prospectors’ names. Erick- son recommended against a road and recommended the con- struction of a telegraph line instead. Etolin, Adolph Karlovich: 1818-45 Capt. Adolph Karlovich Etolin, IRN, was governor of the Rus- sian American colonies from 1841 to 1845. In 1822—24- Etolin, with Kromchenko (cnna) , IRN, participated in one of the prin- cipal expeditions of the Russian American Company, exploring and surveying the Bering Sea coast. During this expedition de- tailed surveys of the coast, from Bristol Bay to the mouth of the Kuskokwim River, and of Norton Sound, were made. Tamgas Harbor and Kaigani Strait were surveyed by Etolin in 1833, and the results were published in 1848 on Russian Hydrographic De- partment Chart 1396. In 1839 Etolin, in command of the Rus- sian American Company ship Nikolai, sailed from Russia to the colonies, assuming the duties of governor in 1841. He is com- memorated in Alaska by Etolin Island in southeast Alaska and by Etolin Strait in the Bering Sea. Faris, Robert Lee: 1898—1901 . Assistant Robert Lee Faris, 1868—1932, USC&GS, accompanied Assistant J. F. Pratt, USC&GS, in 1898—1900. During this period Faris, in charge of a subparty, made surveys in the vicinity of the Yukon River Delta, the results of which were incorporated in US. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts 9370 and 9373. In 1901 F aris accompanied Assistant Ferdinand Westdahl, USC&GS, dur- ing the survey of the Sannak Islands off the south end of the Alaska Peninsula. F assett, Henry Clifford: 1900—1919 Henry Clifford Fassett, USBF, worked in Alaska from 1900 until 1919. While on the US. Fish Commission steamer Alba- tross, under command of Lt. Comdr. Moser, USN, in 1900—01, he made studies of the southern coast of Alaska from Dixon En- trance to Nushagak Bay. In 1903, Fassett continued his research on the Albatross under the command of Lt. F. Swift, USN. In his reports he described the early canning industry at Karluk and dredging operations at several places along the Alaskan coast. He also sketched several maps, on which he reported native names in the areas he visited. F assett Glacier and Fassett Point were named for him. FitzGerald, Gerald: 1921—30 Gerald FitzGerald, 1899— , USGS topographer from 1917 to 1957, did his first work in Alaska in 1921 in the Iniskin oil field on Cook Inlet. He spent four seasons, from 1923 to 1926, as topographer with field parties exploring the newly established Naval Petroleum Reserve 4- in northwestern Alaska. FitzGer- ald’s fieldsheets represent the first documentation of some Eskimo names and new names given by the field parties. He also did topographic surveys in southwest Alaska. He was Chief Alaskan l3 Topographer, 1938—42, and Chief Topographic Engineer, 1947— 57, for the U. S. Geological Survey Flemer, John Adolph: 1898-1905 Assistant John Adolph Flemer, USC&GS, went to Alaska with Assistant John Nelson, USC&GS, in 1898 to make a topographic reconnaissance survey of the region near Lynn Canal. While there, in 1898—99, he cooperated with the Canadians 1n taking ter- restrial photos from high places and utilizing them 1n surveys along the boundary. His reports appeared 1n the U. S. Coast and Geo- detic Survey Annual Report for 1899, and the information pro- vided by the surveys was applied to the charts of the area. Flemer also participated 1n the boundary surveys in southeast- ern Alaska in 1903—05 under the Alaska Boundary Tribunal. Franklin, Sir John: 1826 Sir John Franklin, 1786—1847, RN, English Arctic explorer, made explorations along the Arctic coast of Alaska in July and August 1826. He planned to meet Capt. F. W. Beechey, RN, at or near Point Barrow and thus complete the exploration of the coast of northwest North America. After wintering at Fort Franklin (in Canada), Sir John descended the Mackenzie River to its mouth and traveled by small boat westward along the coast into Alaska as far as Beechey Point, where he turned back owing to the lateness of the season. Franklin and his crew disappeared on an expedition in northern Canada in 1847. The search for the missing expedition motivated intense exploration of the north- ern Alaskan coastline. See Franklin Searching Expeditions. Franklin Searching Expeditions: 1849—54 Numerous Arctic expeditions were sent out by the British Gov- ernment in search of Sir John Franklin’s party. The first began July 25, 184-9, when Lt. W. J. Pullen, RN, accompanied by Lt. W. H. Hooper, RN, led a party of four boats and 25 men from Comdr. T. E. L. Moore’s, RN, ship Plover on a traverse of the Arctic coast from Wainwright Inlet to Fort Simpson on the Mac- kenzie River; they reached Fort Simpson October 3. Both Pullen and Hooper’ 5 accounts were published. Several other expeditions followed. In the summer of 1850 Moore made a boat journey from a locality south of Point Barrow to Cape Simpson. He is credited with the naming of the east- ern four of the Plover Islands after his ship and the naming of several other islands for his officers. Capt. Robert McClure, RN, in command of the Investigator, passed Point Barrow on August 5, 1850, and Flaxman Island on the 18th, but was lost 1n fog and snow until the 2lst, when the ship approached the Mackenzie River. Capt. Richard Collinson, RN, commander of the Enterprise, passed Point Barrow in July 1851 and made observations along the coast, wintered 2 years in British territory, started his return trip in September 1853, and on the 26th was frozen in for the win- ter. Collinson and his men made several attempts to explore the region. On July 10, 1854-, Lt. Jago left the Enterprise in a whale- boat for Point Barrow, where he arrived July 24-. The Enterprise broke free July 16, but because of the ice was not able to reach Point Barrow until August 8. Comdr. Rochfort Maguire, RN, of the Plover, wintered in Moore Harbor, Elson Lagoon, between 1852 and 1854- and made several trips yielding geographical information which was incor- porated in the charts made by Master Thomas Hull. Maguire and his ship’s surgeon, John Simpson, are credited with naming and reporting Eskimo names for a number of Arctic features. Simpson recorded considerable information about the Eskimo of northern Alaska and was responsible for drawing a map of the north coast between Point Barrow and Humphreys Point on the basis of information given by Eskimos. Accounts of these expeditions were published in the 1850’s in various publications. The reports and papers published by Great Britain were used in the compilation of the present dictionary. General Land Office: 1899— The General Land Office was established in 1812 as part of the U.S. Treasury Department. It was transferred in 1849 to the newly created U.S. Department of the Interior. In 1946, the General Land Office, the Grazing Service, and the Surveyor Gen- eral’s Office were combined to form the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. The General Land Office first worked in Alaska in 1897 when the office of Surveyor General of the District of Alaska was created. The first Surveyor General was William L. Distin, who served until 1914. The establishment of the Copper River meridian and base line in 1905 was the beginning of the rectangular system of surveys in Alaska. In 1910, Congress appropriated $100,000 for subdivision surveys of public lands in Alaska. With the cooperation of the U.S. Geo- logical Survey, the General Land Office initiated work in the vicinity of Fairbanks under the direction of R. H. Sargent, USGS. The U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey provided precise astronomi- cal observations for latitude, longitude, and azimuth at Fairbanks, Tanana, and Copper Center. In 1915, 15 field parties were organized to extend the cadastral surveys to the Bering River, Matanuska, and Nenana coal fields, opened in 1914. At the same time the rectangular surveys were extended to the widely sepa- rated areas in the Cook Inlet district, along The Alaska Railroad, and to Haines. The townsites of Douglas, Eska, Fairbanks, Haines, and Sitka were surveyed during this period. By 1922, 1,550,000 acres were surveyed in Alaska. During the next two decades surveys were expanded on the Alaska and Kenai Peninsulas, and the survey of Mount McKinley National Park was completed; thus, 2,500,000 acres had been surveyed by 1940. At the close of World War II and after the conflict in Korea, surveying activity greatly increased with the influx of homesteaders. The achievement of statehood in 1959 and the subsequent transfer of public lands to the State of Alaska, as well as the discovery of oil, have led to increased surveying. By 1966, 11,440,000 acres in Alaska had been surveyed by the Bureau of Land Management. Over the years the surveyors have reported names when they found them and have given names where needed. Geoghegan, Richard Henry: 1902—43 Richard Henry Geoghegan, 1866—1943, linguist and master of many languages including Gaelic, Greek, and Chinese, was born in Ireland, studied at Oxford University in England, and came to Alaska as a court reporter under James Wickersham, who was then U.S. district judge. Geoghegan became interested in Alaskan native languages and is primarily known for his translations, from Russian, of Father Ioann Veniaminov’s Aleut and Tlingit vocabu- l4 z'l. laries. Both he and his brother, James T. Geoghegan, who Also came to Alaska, collected word lists of various Indian tribes that included geographic names. Most of his manuscript material is at the University of Alaska and at the State Historical Library. Gerdine, Thomas Golding: 1899-1907 Thomas Golding Gerdine, 1872—1930, USGS topographer, worked in 1899 in F. C. Schrader’s party on the Chandalar and Koyukuk Rivers. Gerdine was in general charge of all topographic surveys in Alaska from 1902 until 1907, under A. H. Brooks, Chief Alaskan Geologist. In 1908 he became Pacific Region Engineer for the U.S. Geological Survey. Alaska by Mount Gerdine. Gibson, William: 1854—55. See North Pacific Exploring Expedi- tion. Gilbert, John Jacob: 1900—1901 Assistant John Jacob Gilbert, USC&GS, commanded the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey steamer Pathfinder in 1900—1901. In 1900 he surveyed the shore of Norton Sound from St. Michael Harbor to Golovnin Bay. The following year he surveyed the Fox Islands and the passes between the eastern Aleutian Islands be- tween Unalaska and Unimak Islands. These surveys wer i in- cluded in new charts published by the Coast and Geodetic S rvey for the Norton Sound and Fox Island areas. Gilbert’s reports were published by the Coast and Geodetic Survey in 1901 and 1902. Glass, Henry: 1881 Comdr. (later Rear Adm.) Henry Glass, 1844—1908, USN, in command of the U.S.S. Wachusett, succeeded Capt. L. A. Beards- lee at the Sitka station in 1881. The surveying done by Symonds and Hanus under Beardslee was continued under Glass and was published by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. A peninsula and point of land were named for Glass. 3 Glenn, Edwin Forbes: 1898—99 Capt. (later Maj. Gen.) Edwin Forbes Glenn, 1857—1926, USA, was ordered in 1898 to establish a camp at Port Wells, Prince William Sound, and explore for routes to the Copper and Susitna Rivers. He was then to proceed to Cook Inlet and explore for Accompanying Glenn was W. C. Mertden- Gerdine is commemorated in routes to the Tanana. hall, USGS, who made geologic and topographic reconnaisiance from Resurrection Bay to the Tanana. Also in the party Were Lt. J. C. Castner, USA, who reached the Yukon via Lake Louise and the Delta and Tanana Rivers, and Sgt. William Yanert, USA, who explored the headwaters of the Susitna. The results of this series of ventures was published with those of Capt. W. R. Aber- crombie, USA. In 1899 Glenn returned to continue his explora- tions of the previous year. Mount Glenn in the Chugach Moun- tains was named for him. Glotov, Stephen: 1763-66 Stephen Glotov, Russian fur trader, was the first to visit and trade peacefully with the natives of Umnak and Unalaska Islands during his voyage of 1758—62 on the ship Yulian, which he com- manded. His second voyage, in command of the Andreian 1' Natalia, in 1762—65 was one of the most important of the early expeditions to the Aleutian Islands in that it marked the turning point of the free lance customs of the Promyshleniki (fur hunters). Glotov traveled as far east as Kodiak Island, landing on September 8, 1763, and probably was the first European to visit this island. For a further account of his travels, see Bancroft (1886) and Coxe (1787) . Grant, Ulysses Sherman: 1905—10 Ulysses Sherman Grant, 1867—1932, USGS geologist from 1904 to 1925, did geological investigations in the Prince William Sound and Kenai Peninsula area. He is credited with the naming and reporting of many names in that area. Grewingk, Constantin: 1850 In 1850 Dr. Constantin Grewingk, 1819—87, published a “Con- tribution to the Knowledge of the Orography and Geography of the Northwest Coast of America and Neighboring Islands” in German. In this article Grewingk reported many names which have been used in this dictionary. Grewingk Glacier, on the Kenai Peninsula, was named for this writer. Griggs, Robert F iske: 1915—30 Robert Fiske Griggs, 1881—1962, botanist, was chosen director of six National Geographic Society Mount Katmai expeditions in 1915—19 and 1930, during which he named nearly 50 geographic features in the Katmai region. He was commemorated by the naming of Mount Griggs in Katmai National Monument. Hamilton, Ernest G.: 1904—5 Ernest G. Hamilton, USGS topographer, worked with F. H. Moffit, geologist, on the Kenai Peninsula in 1904 and with G. C. Martin, geologist, mapping the Controller Bay area in 1905. Hanus, Gustavus C. See Beardslee. Harriman Alaska Expedition: 1899 In the summer of 1899 Edward Henry Harriman, 1848-1909, of New York, chartered the steamer George W. Elder and, inviting about 30 scientific men, sailed to Alaska. Many of the guests did some exploration, carried out surveys, collected specimens, and took photographs. The Harriman Alaska Expedition cruised 9,000 miles with about 50 stops; it left Seattle on July 1 and re- turned August 31. The results of the expedition were published in 12 volumes. The expedition named several geographic fea- tures, including Harriman Fiord and Harriman Glacier in the Chugach Mountains region. Hayes, Charles Willard: 1891 Charles Willard Hayes, 1859—1916, USGS geologist from 1887 to 1911, was detailed to accompany an expedition led by Lt. Frederick Schwatka, organized by a syndicate of newspapers, to explore the region lying between Lynn Canal and the Copper River. The route followed up Taku Inlet, down the Teslin and Lewes, up the White, over Skolai Pass, and down the Chitina and Copper. Several new names were added to Alaskan maps by this expedition. Hayes made the first classification of Alaskan physiographic provinces. for him. Helm, James M.: 1886. See Snow. Several features in Alaska are named 15 Herron, Joseph Sutherland: 1899 The most notable part of Capt. E. F. Glenn’s 1899 exploration was that conducted by Lt. Joseph Sutherland Herron, 1869—19? USA. He explored the portage between Passage Canal and Prince William Sound and the area around Turnagain Arm on Cook Inlet and joined Glenn at Tyonek. Herron then proceeded up the Kichatna River, across the Alaska Range to the headwaters of the Kuskokwim drainage, then to the Cosna, Tanana, and Yukon Rivers. Hess, Frank Lee: 1903—5 Frank Lee Hess, 1871—1955, USGS geologist from 1903 to 1925, began his Alaska work as assistant to A. J. Collier on the Seward Peninsula in 1903. In 1904, as assistant to L. M. Prindle, he made a geological reconnaissance from Eagle to Rampart via Fairbanks. In 1905, assisting F. H. Moflit, Hess helped make a detailed geological survey of the area adjacent to Cape Nome on the Seward Peninsula. Hooper, Calvin Leighton: 1880-99 Capt. Calvin Leighton Hooper, 1842—1900, USRCS, spent a number of years in Alaska during the period of early exploration and in later years was Commander of the Bering Sea fleet. His annual reports to the U.S. Treasury Department contributed many geographical facts. Hooper Bay in the Yukon River Delta was named for him. Howard, William Lauriston: 1885—86. See Stoney. Ilin, Peter Ivanovich: 1818—42 Staff Capt. Peter Ivanovich Ilin, IRN, of the Pilot Corps, first sailed to the Russian American colonies in 1817 with Capt. Vasili M. Golovnin, IRN, on the Kamchatka. On an unknown date Ilin is believed to have surveyed a bay on the western side of Chichagof Island, and his sketch of the bay was published in the 1826 Sarichev atlas on map 28. He died in 1842 in Okhotsk (or Kamchatka). Ilin Bay, on the west side of Chichagof Island, was named for this navigator by his countrymen. Ingenstrem: 1829—32 Ingenstrem (cnna) was a Russian American Company pilot who made various surveys on Atka and Amlia Islands in the Andreanof group of Aleutian Islands in the late 1820’s. In 1830— 32, with Ivan Chernov, he made surveys in the Prince William 3 . Sound area and at the mouth of the Kenai River, Cook Inlet. His results were used in 1836 by Capt. F. P. Lutke, IRN; in 1852 by Capt. M. D. Tebenkov, IRN, and in 1848 by the Russian Hydrographic Department on Chart 1400. The Ingenstrem Rocks, in the western Aleutians, were named for this navigator by his countrymen. International Boundary Commission In 1903 the Alaska Boundary Tribunal, established between Great Britain and the United States, negotiated the Alaska- Canada boundary southeast of longitude 141° W. On the basis of these negotiations, the International Boundary Commission was established by treaties between Great Britain and the United States in 1906, 1908, 1909, and 1925. Pursuant to the Tribunal decision, surveying and monumenting of the boundary southeast of Mount St. Elias was begun in 1904. The survey of this area was completed in 1920 and resulted in 13 maps. The maps were individually published upon their completion and were collec- tively published in 1951 by the International Boundary Com- mission, U.S. Department of State, under the title “Joint Maps of the International Boundary between the United States and Canada, from Cape Muzon to Mount St. Elias.” The survey- ing and monumenting of the boundary along long. 1410 W. between 1907 and 1913 resulted in 38 maps. The first 32 sheets were published individually in 1914; sheets 33—38 were published in 1918. The International Boundary Commission collectively published the maps in 1918 under the title “Atlas of the Inter- national Boundary between the United States and Canada, Arc- tic Ocean to Mount St. Elias.” Many local names were reported by personnel of the survey parties. They also gave names in commemoration of persons, events, or conditions. Jackson, Sheldon: 1877—1906 Rev. Sheldon Jackson, 1834—1909, Presbyterian missionary, first visited Alaska in 1877 in the interests of schools and mis- sions. Because he had repeatedly visited Alaska, had established missionary schools there, and had written a book on Alaska, Jackson in 1885 was appointed U.S. general agent for education in Alaska. Thereafter he made annual visits to Alaska, travel- ing extensively in various areas on inspection tours. In 1891 he began the importation of reindeer into Alaska from Siberia as a means of improving native conditions. Jackson remained gen- eral agent until 1906, when he was recalled. Reports by Jackson and his subordinates were published annually from 1890 to 1906. Jarvis, David Henry: 1897-98 In the winter of 1897—98, Lt. (later Capt.) David Henry Jarvis, 1852—19?, USRCS, conducted an overland expedition for the relief of the whaling fleet imprisoned by the ice in the vicinity of Point Barrow. On December 16, 1897, he and three com- panions were landed on Nunivak Island by the revenue cutter Bear. From Nunivak Island the expedition traveled by dog teams across the delta and lake country to Andreafski, on the Yukon, thence down the Yukon and along the coast to St. Michael. From St. Michael the route lay along the coast of Norton Sound to Cape York, by one section, and across the base of Seward Peninsula to Kotzebue Sound, by another. From the various stations on the shore of Norton Sound, a herd of 448 reindeer was collected and driven across Kotzebue Sound on the ice and thence along the Arctic coast to Point Barrow, which was reached on March 29, 1898. This expedition was more remarkable for the feat than its contributions to geographic knowledge. A detailed account was published in 1899 in the report of the Bear, under the authorship of the U.S. Revenue-Cutter Service. A mountain, stream, and village have been named in com- memoration of Jarvis, who in 1902 was appointed collector of customs for Alaska. Jones, Ernest Lester: 1913—1929 Ernest Lester Jones, ?—1929, veterinary surgeon, served as Deputy Commissioner of the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries (later in- 16 1. cluded in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service), from 1913 to 191155 during which period he named many features in Alaska. He also wrote “Report of Alaska Investigations in 1914,” published by the Bureau of Fisheries in 1915. In 1915, President Woodrow Wilson appointed him Supertirn- tendent of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, an office he re- tained until his death in 1929. While in office he reorganized the Coast and Geodetic Survey and included added emphasis on Alaskan surveys. During his administration he named several new features in Alaska. Kadin (cnna): 1963.

Khwostov, Nikolai Alexandrovich: 1803. See Davidov. Kilbuck, John Henry: 1885—1922. See Spurr. Kotzebue, Otto von: 1816—17 Lt. Otto von Kotzebue, 1787—1846, IRN, in command of the brig Rurik, sailed on an exploratory mission to America in 1816 with the hope of finding a northwest passage. He landed ton Saint Lawrence Island on July 27, crossed Bering Strait on itily 31, and entered the sound which he named for himself on August 3, 1816. Kotzebue explored and mapped these areas and in 1821 published an account of his travels; the account was trans- lated in London by H. E. Lloyd in the same year. Krause, Arthur: 1882 Two brothers, Arthur Krause, 1851—?, and Aurel Kra e, 1848—?, were sent in 1881 by the Bremen Geographical Societfto the Chukotsk Peninsula in Siberia. After completing their stu 'es there, they traveled to the Chilkat Inlet where they mapped Afiz‘he area and made intensive studies of the Tlingit Indians. Arel returned to Germany in the spring of 1882, and Arthur made two journeys into Canada. Results of their journeys were published in German in 1883 and 1885 The English translation by Edna Gunther of their study of the Tlingit Indians was published in 1956. Krause, Aurel: 1882. See Krause, Arthur. { Krenitzin, Peter Kuzmich: 1768-69 Capt Peter Kuzmich Krenitzin, ?—1770, IRN, in command of the galiot St Catherine, and his assistant, Lt. Michael Levashev, IRN, in command of the hooker St. Paul, cruised through the eastern Aleutian Islands in 1768—69. This expedition was orga- nized and conducted as a mission of observation, physical and cultural, of the regions visited, under the auspices of the Imperial Russian Government. The first account of this voyage, with a track chart, was published in 1780 by Coxe (1787). Port Lev- ashev, on the north coast of Unalaska Island, and the Krenitzin Islands, also in the eastern Aleutians, were named for these two men. See Bancroft (1886). Krusenstern, Adam Johann von: 1804—5 Lt. Comdr. (later Adm.) Adam Johann von Krusenstern, 17170— 1846, IRN, was appointed in 1802 by Alexander I of Russia to lead an expedition for “exploring the Russian Pacific shores and of developing diplomatic and trade relations with Japan and China.” This expedition, 1803—6, commanded by Krusenstern on the Nadezhda, accompanied by Capt. U. T. Lisianski, IRN, on the Neva, resulted in the first circumnavigation of the world by the Russians. The first part of the journey was concerned with the delivery of supplies to the Russian American Company and was followed by an exploration of the Siberian coast and a diplo- matic mission to Japan. Many surveys were carried out on this voyage, Krusenstern later being responsible for many publications on the North Pacific including an atlas of the Pacific Ocean pub- lished in 1827, although he never set foot on the northwest coast of America. Several maps of this atlas were used in the prepara- tion of this dictionary. Krusenstern, in northwest Alaska. Kuritzien: 1849 Full Pilot Kuritzien (cnna), IRN, made a survey of Umnak Island in the Aleutian Islands about 184-9. His map was pub- lished as an inset on map 25 of the 1852 Tebenkov atlas. Langsdorff, Georg Heinrich von: 1804-5 Georg Heinrich von Langsdorfi, 1774—1852, a member of the Russian embassy to Japan headed by Ambassador Nikolai Rezanov, sailed with Lt. Comdr. A. J. von Krusenstern, IRN, on the Nadezhda in 1803. In 1805 he left Krusenstern’s company in Siberia and, with Rezanov, he then traveled to the Pribilof Islands, Unalaska and Kodiak Islands, Sitka, and California before re- turning to Russia. An account of his travels was published in London in 1813—14. La Pérouse, Jean Francois de Galaup de: 1786 i In 1785 Louis XVI of France placed Jean Francois de Galaup (Comte?) de La Pérouse, 1741~88, in charge of a scientific explor- ing expedition to search for a northwest passage and to establish a valid claim in northwest North America. La Pérouse, in com- mand of the vessel La Boussole, was accompanied by Capt. de Langle, in command of the L’Astrolabe. Sailing from France in 1785, via Cape Horn and Hawaii, they sighted the coast of Alaska in the vicinity of Yakutat on June 24-, 1786. La Pérouse landed at Lituya Bay, made a detailed examination, and took formal pos- session. They then sailed south, surveying the coast to Monterey, Calif. The expedition was last heard from in 1788 OH the coast of Australia. La Pérouse had sent his interpreter Jean, Baron de Lesseps, back to France along an overland route with maps and records of the expedition. The results of the expedition were pub- lished in 1797 by the French Government. (See fig. 5.) English editions were published the following year. La Pérouse Glacier and Mountain, in the southern part of the St. Elias Range, were named for this navigator. Leflingwell, Ernest de Koven: 1906—14 Ernest de Koven Lefl'ingwell, 1876— , first went to Alaska in 1906 with Capt. Ejnar Mikkelsen in the schooner Duchess of Bedford on the Anglo-American Polar Expedition. They sailed north, around Point Barrow to Flaxman Island on the Arctic coast. Although Mikkelsen returned home the following year and published his narrative, Leflingwell lived with the Eskimos another year. Krusenstern is commemorated by Cape l7 He returned to the Flaxman Island base in 1909 and remained 3 years doing geological and geographical studies of the Canning River region ; during this time, he compiled the first accurate maps of a part of the north coast of Alaska. Another year was spent in the area in 1913—14. The results of this work, done mostly with- out assistance and at Leflingwell’s own expense, were published as a US Geological Survey professional paper. Leffingwell had an interest in geographical nomenclature, and his work contains a list of names on the Arctic coast of Alaska which were applied by explorers, obtained from the Eskimos, or given by himself. Leslie Expedition: 1890—91 In the spring of 1890 Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper sent an expedition to Alaska. Early in May E. J. Glave, executive officer and artist, E. Hazard Wells, chief of operations, and Alfred B. Schanz, astronomer and historian, accompanied by Frank Price and John Dalton, guide, ascended the Chilkat River. The party split at Lake Kusawa in Canada. Though an extensive endeavor, actual geographic contributions of the expedition were limited to Glave’s descent of the Alsek River, Well’s examination of the area near the upper Tanana and Tok Rivers, and Schanz’s survey of the region which placed Lake Clark definitely on the maps. Schanz’s chapter on the Nushagak district was published in the 11th Census, in 1890 (1893, p. 91—97) . Leslie Glacier and Pass, at the head of the Chilkat River, were named by the expedition, but these names have not survived. Mount Glave in Canada near the headwaters of the Klehini River was named for the leader of the expedition. Levashev, Michael: 1768—69. See Krenitzin. Lindenberg: 1838 In 1838 a survey and chart was made of the head of Lynn Ca- nal and the lower end of the Chilkat River by Lindenberg (cnna) . This chart was published in 1848 as an inset on Russian Hydro- graphic Department Chart 1396. The Lindenberg Peninsula, on the eastern side of Kupreanof Island, was named for this navi- gator by his countrymen. Lisianski, Urey Theodorovich: 1804—5 Capt. Urey Theodorovich Lisianski, 1773—1837, IRN, in com- mand of the Neva, accompanied by Adm. A. J. von Krusenstern, IRN, on the Nadezhda, made the first Russian circumnavigation of the world in 1803—6. Lisianski parted company with Krusen- stern near the Hawaiian Islands and sailed for Kodiak while Kru- senstern continued to the Far East. When Lisianski arrived at Kodiak on July 14, 1804, he learned that the Indians had de- stroyed the Russian settlement at Sitka. Lisianski then sailed to Sitka, after making minor repairs to his ship and unloading some supplies. He arrived at Sitka on August 20, helped Alexander A. Baranov, governor of the Russian American colonies, repel the Indians and build a new settlement. Lisianski went back to Ko- diak for the winter but returned to Sitka in June 1805 and re- mained until September 1, when he sailed to China and then re- turned to Russia. Lisianski contributed to the naming of Alas- kan features in the Kodiak Island and southeast areas, including the naming of Baranof Island for the governor in 1805. In 1814- an account of his journey, translated from the Russian, was pub- lished in London. Lisianski Point and Strait in southeastern Alaska were named for this Russian explorer. 'w ,r ' {tang ' ‘03» (5";‘9‘1 v _ *3- ”2;: .547 Lutke, Feodor Petrovich: 1827-28 In 1826 Capt. Feodor Petrovich Lutke, 1797—1882, IRN, in command of the corvette Seniavine, accompanied by Capt. M. N. Staniukovich, IRN, in command of the sloop M oller, was sent by the Russian Government on an exploring expedition around the world which lasted until 1829. Lutke and Staniukovich arrived at Sitka on June 24, 1827. On July 31, they sailed to Unalaska where they stayed for 8 days after their arrival on August 22. They then cruised north and west in the Bering Sea from the Alaska Peninsula to the Pribilof Islands, St. Matthew Island, and Kamchatka, from where they returned home. An account of this expedition was published in 1836 under the title “Voyage around the World * * *” and includes an atlas and a separate volume called “Nautical Part.” This work contains hydrographic and geographic information mainly concerning the above-men- tioned areas and is considered to be an important reference in the evolution of our geographic knowledge in Alaska. Lutke was re- sponsible for naming many major features on the northern side of the Alaska Peninsula. An index to the “Nautical Part” was written by W. H. Dall, USC&GS, and was published in the 1883 Coast Pilot (p. 320—324). Cape Lutke, on the south coast of Unimak Island in the western Aleutians, was named for this navigator and explorer. McCormick, James. See Baker. MCGrath, John Edward: 1899—92. See Turner, John Henry. McLenegan, S. B.: 1885. See Cantwell. Maddren, Alfred chdes: 1906—17 Alfred Geddes Maddren, USGS geologist, began his Alaskan investigations as assistant to F. H. Moflit in the Kotsina-Chitina River drainage area in 1906. In subsequent years he worked in various mining areas of Alaska and produced topographic field- sheets which were the sources of many prospectors’ names. (See fig. 6.) Malaspina, Alessandro: 1791 Capt. Alessandro (Alejandro) Malaspina, an Italian navigator in the service of Spain, in command of the Descubierta, with Jose de Bustemante in command of the Atrevida, sailed from Mexico on May 1, 1791, by commission to attempt to find the water passage which Ferrer Lorenzo Maldonaldo claimed con- nected the Pacific with the Atlantic. Sighting land near Sitka on May 1, 1791, the two ships sailed to Yakutat Bay, which they carefully explored. Malaspina then went to Prince William Sound, surveying the coast for the nonexistent passage. He is commemorated in Alaska by the Malaspina Glacier. Mansfield, Henry Buckingham: 1889—91 Succeeding Lt. Comdr. C. M. Thomas, USN, on the US. Coast and Geodetic Survey steamer Patterson in 1889 was Lt. Comdr. (later Rear Adm.) Henry Buckingham Mansfield, 1846— 1918, USN, who made surveys in the Alexander Archipelago in 1889, 1890, and 1891 before being relieved by Lt. W. 1. Moore, USN, on February 2, 1892. Mansfield is credited with the nam- ing of several features in the southeastern part of Alaska. An account of his work was published in the Coast and Geodetic Survey Annual Reports for 1890, and his surveys were reflected 19 in Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts 8075, 8170, 8216, 8218, 8224, 8235, and 8302. Mansfield is commemorated by the nam- ing of Mansfield Peninsula on the northern part of Admiralty Island. Marsh, S. J.: 1901—3 Two prospectors, S. J. Marsh and F. G. Carter, arrived at Collinson Point in Camden Bay in September 1901. They wintered on the beach, explored some of the inland streams, and reported three large rivers between the Canning and the Colville Rivers. In April 1902 Marsh moved provisions inland to Cache Creek and explored its headwaters. He met Carter and H. T. “Ned” Arey 25 miles from this stream’s junction with the Canning River, and the three men wintered in the mountains. In February 1903 Carter ascended the Marsh Fork Canning River and crossed the divide into the Yukon drainage. Marsh followed him in April and remained with him until the Chandalar River was navigable. (See fig. 7) Arey sledded to the Canning from Point Barrow in 1901 and spent 11 years in this area. He was the first to explore the mouths of the Canning, Julahula, Jago, and Okpilak Rivers and to gain detailed knowledge of the coastline. He gave Marsh the native maps of the Kuparuk, Sagavanirktok, and Shaviovik Rivers, and these maps were eventually incorporatedin the US. Geological Survey maps of 1903. Carter Creek east of Collinson Point, Marsh Fork Canning River, and Arey Island west of Barter Island commemorate these early prospectors. Marshall, Robert: 1929-39 As a forester, Robert Marshall, 1901—39, made several journeys into the upper reaches of the Koyukuk River in the Brooks Range to study tree growth at the northern timberline as well as to know the pleasure of wilderness exploration. Marshall made a recon- naissance map of the northern Koyukuk region after his 1931 trip. This map displayed 137 names never before published. Many of these names had been in use for many years but were unknown outside the immediate area. A great number of the names were given by Marshall. All names were approved by the US. Board on Geographic Names in 1932. His 1938 and 1939 trips to the same area produced more names and refinements in his map. Martin, George Curtis: 1903—21 George Curtis Martin, 1875—1943, USGS geologist from 1903 to 1924, spent 17 years participating in Alaskan fieldwork and for several years had administrative responsibility for the conduct of US. Geological Survey Alaskan work. He was Executive Secre- tary of the US. Board on Geographic Names from 1935 to 1943. Mount Martin on .the Alaska Peninsula is named for him. Martin, Lawrence: 1904-13 Lawrence Martin, 1880—1955, geologist and geographer, par- ticipated in six expeditions to Alaska in 1904—13, including the Yakutat and Glacier Bays excursion of the 12th International Geological Congress in 1913. He was a member of the US. Board on Geographic Names from 1921 to 1944. See National Geographic Society Expeditions. V (. k :77 White f ('5 A Lake ' u. s.

Richard Worsam Meade, 1870— 1933, USN, in command of the USS. Saginaw, cruised through the Alexander Archipelago in southeast Alaska during the winter of 1868—69 and made reconnaissance sketches of various places en route. An account of the cruise was published by the US. Navy Department as “Hydrographic Notice No. 13 of 1869,” and Meade’s maps were incorporated in US. Navy Hydrographic Chart 225, published in 1869. Meade Glacier, near Lynn Canal, and Meade Point, on the northwest coast of Kuiu Island in south- east Alaska, were named for him. Meares, John: 1786—89 Capt. John Meares, 1756?—1809, on the Nootka, and Lt. Wil- liam Tipping, RN, in command of the Sea Otter, sailed from Bengal, India, 1n March 1786 on a trading venture to the Malay Peninsula and northwest North America Mears reached the Aleutian Islands in August 1786, but nothing was ever heard again of Lt. Tipping or the Sea Otter. Meares then cruised eastward through the Aleutian Islands to Unalaska Island, the Shumagin and Kodiak Islands, Cook Inlet, and Prince William Sound where he wintered. In 1787 he pro- ceeded to Sitka and sailed from there to the Hawaiian Islands and then on to China, arriving there in October 1787. In 1788 Meares again set out for northwest North America with two new ships, the Felice and I phigenia Capt. William Douglas was placed in command of the I phzgenza Meares reached Vancouver Island 1n May 1788, and Douglas arrived in Cook Inlet in June. From Cook Inlet Douglas voyaged east and south and joined Meares at Nootka Sound in August. They wintered 1n Hawaii, returned to North America for additional fur trading, and then sailed for China in 1789. That same year Meares sent out another trading expedition to North America under Capt. James Colnett, who commanded two vessels, the Princess Royal and the Argonaut. Meares is commemorated by several features in Alaska. Mendenhall, Walter Curran: 1898—1902 Walter Curran Mendenhall, 1871—1957, USGS geologist from 1894 to 1957 and Director of the USGS from 1930 to 1943, was attached to an Alaskan military exploring expedition, under the command of Capt. E. F. Glenn, which in the summer of 1898 explored east of Cook Inlet and northeastward up the Matanuska River and across the Alaska Range to the Tanana River. Men- denhall worked in the east part of the Seward Peninsula with W. J Peters, topographer, in 1900. In 1901, with D. L. Reaburn, topographer, he made a topographic and geologic reconnaissance from Fort Hamlin on the Yukon, by way of the Dall, Kanuti, Alatna, and Kobuk Rivers, to Kotzebue Sound. Mendenhall in 1902 was geologist to a party led by T. G. Gerdine, topographer, in the Copper River area. Mertie, John Beaver, Jr.: 1911—42 John Beaver Mertie, Jr., 1888-— , USGS geologist, began his Alaskan work in 1911 assisting L. M. Prindle in the study of gold placers on the upper Yukon River. In following seasons he did 22 i1 geological investigations in various areas from the Circle and Fairbanks districts south. Mikkelsen, Ejnar: 1906. See Leflingwell. Moore, Edwin King: 1895—98 Lt, Comdr. Edwin King Moore, 1847—1931, USN, succeeded Lt. W. I. Moore, USN, in command of the US. Coast 'and Geodetic Survey steamer Patterson on March 15, 1895, and made surveys in the Alexander Archipelago until being recalled in the spring of 1898 .to participate in the Spanish-American War. An account of his work was published in the Coast and Geodetic Survey Annual Report for 1895, and his work was also reflected in Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts 8170, 8281, and 8283. (See fig. 8.) The Moore Mountains on the southern end of Chic '1 gof Island in southeast Alaska were named for him and for Ltdl; Moore, USN. 31 Moore, William Irwin: 1892-95 1 Lt. William Irwin Moore, USN, succeeded Lt. Comdr. H. B. Mansfield, USN, in command of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey steamer Patterson, on February 2, 1892, and made sur- veys in southeast Alaska until being relieved by Lt Comdr. E. K. Moore, USN, on March 15,1895. An account of his work was published in the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey A nual Reports for 1893, 1894, and 1895. Results of his surveys ere also included in Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts 8075, 14, 8240, and 8283. 1 1 Moser, Jefferson Franklin: 1897—1901 1 Lt. Comdr. (later Rear Adm.) Jefferson Franklin oser, 1848—1934, USN, commanded the US. Bureau of Fisheries ‘ later the US. Fish and Wildlife Service) steamer Albatross d'ring cruises in Alaskan waters in the summers of 1897 and 189 . report of this work was published in 1899. The hydrog ‘phic notes and sketches of harbors and anchorages made on th 11897 cruise were published by the US. Coast and Geodetic Su ey in 1899 ' r In 1900—1901 Moser, on the Albatrosr, visited most the canneries and important salmon streams on the Alaskancoast from Dixon Entrance to the Nushagak River on Bristo Bay. He made sketch maps of the streams with their tributary akes, added to Lt. Comdr. Z. L. Tanner’s 1890 chart of Brist tBay, and made reconnaissance charts of Alitak Bay, the south stern coast of Kodiak Island, and Afognak Bay. He also made a1|top0~ graphic reconnaissance of the coast between Alsek River 1Delta and Yakutat Bay. Reports of these trips were published in‘1902. Moser is credited with having reported as well as given a' large number of names in Alaska. A number of features hav11been named for Moser. 1 Muir, John: 1879—99 John Muir, 1838-1914, naturalist and travel writer, first visited Alaska 1n 1879, in the company of Samuel Hall Young, 1847— 1927, Presbyterian missionary, he canoed through the Alexander Archipelago and was the first to systematically explore Glacier Bay and Muir Glacier. This journey was recorded and pub- lished by Young. They made a chart of Glacier Bay and enu- merated the Tlingit Indians, the results being incorporated by Ivan Petroff in the 10th Census in 1880.

Muir, as an authority on glaciers, returned to Alaska in 1899 as a mem- ber of the Harriman Alaska Expedition. Muir Inlet and Muir Glacier, in the Glacier Bay area, were named for him. Muldrow, Robert: 1898. See Eldridge. Murashev, Mikhail: 1839—40 Sub-Lt. Mikhail Murashev, IRN, sailed to the Russian Ameri- can colonies with Capt. M. D. Tebenkov, IRN, on the Russian American Company’s ship Elena in 1835—36. Murashev made some excellent surveys between Afognak and Kodiak Islands in 1839—40. The results of these surveys were published in 1849 on Russian Hydrographic Department Chart 1425. Murdoch, John: 1881-83. See Ray. National Geographic Society Expeditions: 1890—1963 ' The National Geographic Society has sponsored several expe- ditions or series of studies in Alaska, beginning with the Mount St. Elias Expedition of 1890—91, led by I. C. Russell. In 1909—11 and 1913, R. S. Tarr and Laurence Martin carried out glacier studies in southeast Alaska (see fig. 9). After the Mount Katmai eruption in 1912, G. C. Martin made a reconnaissance survey of the region, while R. F. Griggs led six expeditions to the Mount Katmai area from 1915 to 1919 and in 1930. Other expeditions sponsored by the society included T. A. Jaggar’s study of Pavlof Volcano in 1928 and Father B. R. Hubbard’s trip to the Alaska Peninsula and the Aleutian Islands in 1934.

Allen, of Cornell University; that same year the society sponsored an extensive study of the May 8—9 solar eclipse, establishing stations in the Aleutian Islands. In 1961 a party led by M. M. Miller revisited areas covered by the 1909—11 Alaskan glacier studies. The society also took part in the study of the August 1963 solar eclipse, which passed across central Alaska. Nelson, Edward William: 1877-81 Edward William Nelson, 1855—1934, spent the years 1877—81 at St. Michael conducting meteorological observations for the Serv- ice (U.S. Army Signal Corps). Nelson replaced Lucien Mc- Shan Turner, who had been there since 1874; Turner in 1877 went to the Aleutians where he trained voluntary observers and collected specimens until 1881. Both men were naturalists and devoted much of their time to study of the local population and collecting material and information for the Smithsonian Institu- tion. Nelson made sledge journeys throughout the vicinity, in- cluding one journey of about 1,200 miles through the Yukon Delta from December 1878 to March 1879. Much of his knowl- edge of that area was incorporated by Ivan Petroff into the 10th Census, in 1880, and he is credited in this dictionary with report- ing numerous Eskimo names. In 1881 Nelson joined John Muir on the revenue cutter Corwin on a cruise in the Bering Sea and Arctic Ocean. Nelson went on to become Chief of the US. Bu- reau of the Biological Survey (later included in the US Fish and Wildlife Service) from 1916 to 1927. Nelson Island in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta was named for him. Nichols, Henry E.: 1881—84 Lt. Comdr. Henry Ezra Nichols, 1843—99, USN, was in com- mand of the US. Coast and Geodetic Survey steamer Hassler from 1881 to 1883. In this capacity he made surveys in Kaigani and Wrangell Straits in 1881. In 1882 he worked in the Revil- lagigedo Channel area and north to Wrangell, and in 1833 he surveyed several coves and harbors just north of Dixon Entrance. Relieved of his command in 1884 by Lt. Comdr. A. S. Snow, USN, Nichols took command of the U.S.S. Pinto and through Septem- ber of that year was responsible for the maintenance of order in Alaska. Nichols was again employed by the Coast and Geodetic Sur- vey in 1888—90 to revise the 1883 Coast Pilot. The revised Coast Pilot was published in 1891 and is sometimes referred to as the Nichols Coast Pilot. Accounts of Nichols’ activities were pub- lished in Coast and Geodetic Survey annual reports. Nichols’ name has been given to a bay, a group of islands, a mountain, and a passage in the Alexander Archipelago as well as to a group of hills at the mouth of the Nushagak River. North Pacific Exploring Expedition: 1854-55 In 1854—55, explorations and surveys were made in the North Pacific, Aleutian Islands, Bering Sea, and Siberian coast by the US. Navy. This expedition is referred to as the North Pacific 25 Exploring Expedition and was begun under the command of Capt. Cadwalader Ringgold, USN. Owing to the stress of ill- ness, Ringgold relinquished command to Capt. John Rodgers, USN, of the U.S.S. Vincennex. Also on the Expedition were Lts. William Gibson and Beverley Kennon, USN, on the schooner Fenimore Cooper. During the summer of 1855 Gibson, in com- mand of the Fenimore Cooper, cruised through the Aleutian Is- lands and with the help of Kennon, corrected charts and surveyed harbors, concentrating his efforts at Attu and Adak Islands. Kennon Island, in the entrance to Chichagof Harbor on Attu Is- land, was named by Gibson for his fellow officer, and nearby Gib- son Island was named by members of the expedition for Lt. Gibson. The resulting maps and charts of the entire expedition were published by the US. Navy Hydrographic Office as Charts 8, 54, 55, 60, and 68. Osgood, Wilfred Husdon: 1899—1914 In 1899 Wilfred Hudson Osgood, 1875—1947, conducted a bio- logical reconnaissance for the US. Bureau of the Biological Survey (later included in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) along a route from Skagway, over White Pass, to the headwaters of the Yukon River and along the course of the Yukon to its delta. The results of this study, including a general account of the region, were published by the US Department of Agriculture in 1900. Osgood next went to the Cook inlet region in 1900 for a biological investigation of the flora and fauna of this region. He continued his investigation in the Cook Inlet region in 1902 by conducting an overland journey across the upper Alaska Peninsula. He and his party embarked from Iliamna Bay in July and proceeded over the mountains to Lake Iliamna and Lake Clark. They continued by way of the Chulitna and Nu- shagak Rivers to Bristol Bay, and from there to the head of the southern arm of Becharof Lake. Here they crossed the mouni tains and proceeded to Portage Bay on Shelikof Strait; they finally arrived at Cold Bay in October. A report, including a map of the region constructed from sketches and notes by Osgood, was pub- lished by the US. Department of Agriculture in 1904. Osgood continued his biological studies in Alaska in the summer of 1903 by conducting surveys between Eagle and Circle on the Yukon River, and in the area of Glacier Mountain. In addition to his Alaska mainland studies, he did extensive re- search and fieldwork on the fur seals and other life on the Pribilof Islands. The results of this work were published in 1915 by the US. Fish Commission. Pender, David: 1868 Staff Comdr. David Pender, RN, made a survey of Portland Canal and vicinity in 1868. The resulting map was published in 1882 as a flyleaf attached to British Admiralty Chart 2431. Pen- der named several features in southeast Alaska. Perez, Juan: 1774. See Spanish Expeditions. Peters, William John: 1898—1902 William John Peters, 1863—1942, USGS topographer, began his Alaskan work in the summer of 1898 by leading a reconnais- sance party, with A. H. Brooks as geologist, to the White and Tanana Rivers in eastern Alaska. In 1899 the same party con- tinued explorations from the head of Lynn Canal to Eagle on the Yukon. 'In 1900, with W. C. Mendenhall as geologist, a recon- naissance was made in the Norton Bay area of southeast Seward Peninsula. Peters led a party in 1901 on a reconnaissance of northern Alaska with F. C. Schrader as geologist. This trip crossed the Brooks Range at Anaktuvuk Pass to the Arctic, and proceeded along the coast to Cape Lisburne. In 1902 Peters made a topographic map of the Juneau area. His fieldsheets of these expeditions were the source of many new names in Alaska. He is commemorated in northern Alaska by Lake Peters and by Peters Glacier on Mount McKinley. Petroff, Ivan: 1866—92 Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1842, Ivan Petroff came to America in 1861 and fought in the Union Army. He worked in the Kenai and Kodiak areas from 1866 to 1870. In 1874 he was employed collecting, examining, and translating Russian sources for H. H. Bancroft’s “History of Alaska,” published in 1866. Petrofl" was appointed special agent to conduct the Alaska part of the 10th Census, in 1880. (See fig. 10.) As an agent he spent the summer of 1880 and 1881 traveling between Kodiak, the Shumigans, Sannak, Belkofski, Unalaska, Unimak, Atka, Pribilof Islands, and St. Michael, and he made journeys of considerable distance up the Yukon and Kuskokwim Rivers. Petrofl”s report included not only population information but also history, geog- raphy, and resources. An enumeration of the people of the Arctic coast down to Kings Island in the Bering Sea was con- ducted by Capt. E. E. Smith, a whaling master, who spoke the Eskimo language and sailed with the Thomas Corwin on her Arctic cruise in 1880 in the capacity of ice pilot. An enumeration of the people from Kings Island to the mouth of the Kuskokwim River, including the people on the Yukon Delta, was reported by E. W. Nelson, U.S. Signal Service. Petroff was unable to visit southeast Alaska as he was shipwrecked on his way south. A pre- liminary report of the 10th Census was published in 1881 and the final report in 1884. Numerous maps and sketches added to this detailed survey. Petroff was assigned the same position for the 11th Census in 1890. Portlock, Nathaniel: 1786-87 Capt. Nathaniel Portlock of the King George and Capt. George Dixon, 1755—1800, of the Queen Charlotte sailed from England in 1785 for the northwest coast of North America on a commercial trading expedition. These two vessels were owned by the King George’s Sound Company, a partnership set up for trade between the Pacific Northwest and China. They went by way of Cape Horn, touched the Hawaiian Islands, and on July 16, 1786, arrived at Cook Inlet. Portlock and Dixon traded with the natives of Cook Inlet and Prince William Sound and gave names to many of the features they discovered. Leaving this area the two ships cruised eastward and southward along the coast as far as Nootka Sound on Vancouver Island. They then sailed for the Hawaiian Islands where they wintered, and returned again in the spring to Prince William Sound. As the native villages around the sound were small, it was decided that only Portlock would stay to trade while Dixon pro- Dixon visited Yakutat Bay, Sitka Sound, Portlock did some additional trading and ceeded down the coast. and Dixon Entrance. 26 exploring down the southeast coast of Alaska. Both vesseli proceeded separately back to England via Hawaii and Both Portlock and Dixon wrote accounts of their voyages which were published in London in 1789. Dixon Entrance was named by Portlock for Dixon, and there are several features name?! for Portlock. Post, William Schuyler: 1898. See Spurr. Pratt, John Francis: 1898—1904 Assistant John Francis Pratt, USC&GS, commanded the Coast and Geodetic Survey steamer Patterson in Alaskan waters during 1899—1904. In 1898~99 Pratt had general supervision of all Coast and Geodetic Survey parties on the Bering Sea, and a party under his immediate direction made a reconnaissance of the passes of the Yukon River and surveyed St. Michael Harbor. In 1900 he commanded a party that performed a hydrographic study in Norton Sound and made a detailed survey in Port Clarence. He continued his survey work in southeast Alaska during the summer of 1901. In 1902 Pratt, commanding the Patterson, did survey work and took soundings in the Bering Sea in the vicinity of St. Lawrence Island. The following year was spent taking soundings in the Pacific Ocean from the entrance of Juan de Fuca Strait to Cape St. Elias preparatory to laying a deep—sea cable. Pratt also did additional survey work 1?. the rvey Controller Bay region. In 1904 Pratt was in charge of a in the Kiska Island region. 3‘. Pribilov, Gerassim Gavrilovich: 1786 A master in the Imperial Russian Navy, Gerassim Gavrilovich Pribilov entered the employ of the Lebedev—Lastochkin ‘Com- pany, a competitor of the Shelikov Company (later, Russian American Company) in 1778. In 1786 Pribilov discovereld the fur seals’ breeding place, a group of islands in the Bering Sea which were subsequently named for him. Pribilov died inlSitka in 1796. 1‘ Prindle, Louis Marcus: 1902—ll ’ 1‘ Louis Marcus Prindle,1865—1956,USGS geologist fronii 1902 to 1935, began his Alaskan work 1n 1902 as assistant to . H. Brooks in the exploration of the Mount McKinley regio He spent each season until 1911 in the Yukon-Tanana area nd in parts of the Alaska Range Mount Prindle in the White oun- tains and Prindle Volcano near the head of Fortymile River were named for him. Prospectors and miners Ever since its purchase in 1867, prospectors and miners have been giving names to the streams and gulches of Alaska either for their own reference or for the purpose of identifying mining claims. Various parts of‘ the State have experienced gold rushes, and each of these areas consequently has a high density of stream The names exist today because government explorers and surveyors obtained them from prospectors’ stakes, or by word of mouth. Such names, if determined, have been credited to the prospectors and miners. A few prospectors made fairly good names. sketch maps of previously unrnapped areas and, if known, have been given credit in this dictionary for the name reporting. Purington, Chester Wells: 1895. See Becker. FIGURE 10.——A part of an 1880 U.S. census map (Petrofi, 1884) showing southwest Alaska. Putnam, George Rockwell: 1897—1899 Assistant George Rockwell Putnam, 1865—?, USC&GS, was a member of Duflield’s 1897 survey party on the Pribilof Islands. While he was there, he collected a list of “Native Names. for L0- calities on Saint George Island, Bering Sea,” which was pub- lished in the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Annual Report for 1903. While Faris and Pratt surveyed the Yukon River Delta in 1898—99, Putnam, with a subparty, made topographic and hy- drographic surveys of the coast north from Scammon Bay to the Apoon River, including several of the principal river channels. The material he acquired was published on several new Coast and Geodetic Survey charts, and his reports of the operation were included in the Coast and Geodetic Survey Annual Reports for 1899 and 1900. Ray, Patrick Henry: 1881—83 Capt. Patrick Henry Ray, 1842—1911, USA, was chosen to head the Point Barrow meteorological station during the first interna- tional polar year. In 1883 Capt. Ray made a sledge journey into the interior and published a map showing the results of his ex- ploration. At the Barrow station with Ray was Sgt. John Mur- doch, 1852—1925, naturalist, who contributed the natural-history part of Capt. Ray’s report. Murdoch also studied the Eskimos, acquired some knowledge of their language, and published in 1892 the ethnological results of the expedition. The Ray Mountains in central Alaska were named for Ray. Raymond, Charles Walker: 1869 In 1869 the U.S. Army sent Capt. (later Brig. Gen.) Charles Walker Raymond, 1842—1913, to Fort Yukon to establish its longi- tude to determine whether the Hudson’s Bay Company’s trading station was in Alaska as was believed. Raymond was a member of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (sometimes referred to as the U.S. Engineers). He was authorized to represent the U.S. Treasury Department so that he could order the Hudson’s Bay Company to vacate Fort Yukon if the determination was favorable to the United States. He went upriver on the Alaska Commercial Co. river steamer Yukon and returned on a raft he designated Eclipse. His reports were published in 1871, and the sketch maps of the Yukon River showed many native names for tributary streams. Reaburn, Dewitt Lee: 1900—1903 Dewitt Lee Reaburn, 1871-?, USGS topographer, began work in Alaska with E. C. Barnard in 1900. In 1901, with W. C. Men- denhall, Reaburn made a reconnaissance topographic survey from Fort Hamlin on the Yukon, by way of the Dall, Kanuti, Alatna, and Kobuk Rivers, to Kotzebue Sound. In 1902, with A. H. Brooks, Reaburn carried a continuous planetable survey over 800 miles from Cook Inlet to the Yukon River along the west flank of the Alaska Range. (See fig. 11.) He temporarily transferred to the U.S. Department of State in 1903, where he participated in United States—Canada boundary work. Reid, Henry Fielding: 1890—92 Henry Fielding Reid, 1859—1944, professor of mathematics, physics, geology, and geography at the Case School of Applied Sciences and at Johns Hopkins University, visited Muir Glacier area in 1890 and 1892, and the results of his glaciological studies were published in 1896 in the Sixteenth Annual Report of the U.S. Geological Survey (Pt. 1, p. 415—461). He was an advisor on glaciology and earthquakes to the U.S. Geological Survey from 1902 to 1914. Richardson, George Burr: 1900. See Brooks. Ringgold, Cadwalader: 1854. See North Pacific Exploring Ex- pedition. Ringgold and Rodgers Exploring Expedition: 1854—55. See North Pacific Exploring Expedition. Ritter, Homer Peter: 1898—1904 Assistant Homer Peter Ritter, USC&GS, was in charge of a survey party on the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey steamer Taku from 1898 to 1903 and surveyed the Copper River Delta and the 28 l 1 east part of Prince William Sound to Port Valdez. In 19 l he was in command of the steamer McArthur and with Assistant Pratt, USC&GS, surveyed Kiska Harbor in the western Aleutian Islands. These surveys resulted in several new charts for the Coast and Geodetic Survey and the U.S. Navy. Ritter’s reports were published in Coast and Geodetic Survey Annual Reports for 1899—1905. Rodgers, John: 1854—55. See North Pacific Exploring Expedi- tion. Romig, Dr. Joseph H.: 1896—1905. See Spurr. Russell, Israel Cook: 1889—91 Israel Cook Russell, 1852—1906, USGS geologist, traveled the Yukon River in 1889. In 1890—91, under the joint auspices of the National Geographic Society and U.S. Geological Survey, Rus- sell explored Malaspina Glacier, Yakutat Bay, and the Mount St. Elias region. Mark Keer accompanied Russell as a topographer, and the party topographically mapped more the 1,000 square miles. Russell was commemorated by the naming of Russell Mountain, in the McKinley Range, as well‘ as Russell Fiord, in southeastern Alaska. Russian American Company: 1799-1867 In the summer of 1799 under an authorization by the Im rial Government, the Russian American Company was charter d for a period of 20 years and was authorized to act as the official iRus- sian representative in the northwest part of North America. The charter was periodically renewed until the 1867 purchase of Alas- ka by the United States. During the company’s existence much geographic information was gathered and published, including the naming of many features, by its officers. This work was done primarily in the areas of the Alaska Peninsula and Baranof, Ko- diak, and Afognak islands. After the Russian sale of Alaslfi, the majority of the company’s material holdings were sold to .. pri- vate group of Americans under the name of the Alaska 1 om- mercial Co. ‘1 Russian Hydrographic Department: 1844—54 1 Between 1844 and 1854 several charts of northwest North America, Bering Sea, and the Arctic were issued as part of a Pa- cific Ocean series by the Russian Hydrographic Department rnany of these charts were used extensively in the preparation if this (See fig. 12.)

Bassérguine (cnna), IRN, on the corvette Rynda, made a survey of the lower 65 miles of the Stikine River in 1863. Another member of the party, Wil- liam P. Blake, of New Haven, published in 1867 an account of the work done and the results obtained. In the same year the Russian Hydrographic Department published a chart resulting from this survey. Several names were contributed to the Stikine River area by members of this expedition. Sargent, Rufus Harvey: 1906—37 Rufus Harvey Sargent, 1875—1951, USGS topographer from 1898 to 194-7, began his Alaskan work in 1906 assisting T. G. Gerdine, USGS, in the Cook Inlet area. In subsequent sea- sons he worked throughout the south half of Alaska, excluding the Aleutians, and his fieldsheets give a wealth of geographic- name information.

During this voyage, Sarichev explored the Aleutian Islands and made several surveys there, the most notable in the vicinity of and at Unalaska Island. In 1826 the Russian Hydro- graphic Office published an “Atlas of the Northern Part of the Pacific Ocean,” compiled under the direction of Vice Adm. and Hydrographer Sarichev; many of his earlier surveys appear in this atlas. This work was often used in the preparation of the present dictionary. (See fig. 13.) Cape Sarichef, on the west- ern end of Unimak Island in the eastern Aleutians, was named for this distinguished contributor to the geographic knowledge of Alaska. Sauer, Martin: 1790—92 Martin Sauer accompanied Capt. J. Billings, IRN, on the Slava Rossiy (Glory of Russia) as the official secretary and trans- lator during Billings’ exploring expedition in 1790—92. In 1802 Sauer’s record of the expedition was published in London. Many names of features in the eastern Aleutian Islands can be attributed to his meticulous recording of places and events.

E. Spurr and H. B. Goodrich on a geological reconnaissance from the head of Lynn Canal over Chilkoot Pass to the Yukon River and down the Yukon to St. Michael. In 1898 Schrader was attached to a military exploring expedition, under the command of Capt. W. R. Abercrombie, USA, which made explorations from Valdez northeast to and along the Copper River. In 1899 he was in charge of a party, including T. G. Gerdine and D. C. Witherspoon, that made explorations along the Chanda- lar and Koyukuk Rivers. In 1900 he returned to the Copper River area assisted by A. S. Spencer, geologist, with Gerdine and Witherspoon doing the topographic work. In 1901 he was geolo- gist attached to the party led by W. J. Peters on a reconnaissance in northern Alaska; in 1902, with Witherspoon as topographic assistant, he worked again in the upper Copper River basin. Lake Schrader in northern Alaska was named for him. Schwatka, Frederick: 1883—86 Lt. Frederick Schwatka, 1849—92, USA, graduated from West Point in 1871 and achieved a reputation as an Arctic explorer when in 1879—80 he led a search in the Canadian Arctic for clues to the lost Sir John Franklin expedition. In 1883 he made a military reconnaissance on his raft Resolute down the Yukon River from its source to its mouth. The results were published in 1885 in oflicial form and in popular form. In 1886 he returned to Alaska with William Libbey and Heywood W. Seton- Karr under the auspices of the New York Times. This expedi- tion explored and mapped the Mount St. Elias region. Schwatka named a number of features, but his greatest contribution appears to have been the popularization of the State. Schwatka Moun- tain, on the south side of the Yukon River, and the Schwatka Mountains in northwest Alaska were named for him. Shishmarev, Glieb Semenovich: 1816—21 Capt. Lt. Glieb Semenovich Shishmarev, IRN, sailed on the brig Rurik under the command of Lt. 0. von Kotzebue, IRN, dur- ing the latter’s exploring expedition in 1816—17. While on this expedition, Shishmarev made surveys in Kotzebue Sound and at In August 1816 Kotzebue named Shish- maref Inlet on the north shore of the Seward Peninsula in his St. Lawrence Island. honor. In 1819 Shishmarev left Russia for the colonies in com- mand of the Blagonamerennyy (Good Intent), accompanied by Capt. Lt. M. N. Vasiliev, IRN, commanding the Otkrytiye (Dis- When they reached the North Pacific they separated, Vasiliev continuing to Siberia and Shishmarev sailing for Una- laska, where he arrived on June 4, 1820. Afterward he cruised through the Aleutian Islands to Amchitka, Semisopochnoi, Gare- 1oi, and Bogoslof Islands. couery). He then cruised north along the coast and met Vasiliev at Kotzebue Sound. Together, they explored the Arctic coast as far east as Icy Cape and returned via St. Lawrence Island, where Shishmarev completed a survey of the shoreline, partly done by the Kotzebue expedition in 1817. They continued to the Pribilof Islands and explored the Bering Sea coast from Norton Sound to Cape Newenham before arriving at 32 Unalaska on August 19, 1820. Shishmarev returned to ussia from Unalaska. See Vasiliev, Mikhail Nikolaievich. Simpson, Thomas: 1837 Thomas Simpson, 1808—40, and Peter Warren Dease, 178814189, officers of the Hudson’s Bay Company, were placed in charge 10f an exploring expedition with instructions to complete the gap left in 1826 between the explorations made by Capt. F. W. Beechey and Sir John Franklin, RN. ' On June 1, 1837, the party of 14 men started down the Mac- kenzie River in two open boats and reached Demarcation Point on July 15th and Franklin’s Point Beechey July 24th. The bearings and distances between points were found to differ from Franklin’s records, but charts were made and names placed on the nearest feasible feature. From this point their exploration was along an unexplored coast, and they attached namesflmany commemorating officers of the company, members of their party, and historical personalities, and a few being descriptive—to conspicuous geographic features on their map. On July 31, further progress of the boats was prevented by ice. Simpson, accompanied by five of the party, proceeded on foot, by means of canvas canoe, and in umiaks borrowed from the Eskimos to Point Barrow, which was reached August 3d. Afte‘i some hours of communication with the Eskimos at the villag ‘, they returned to rejoin Dease and the remainder of the party August 6th. Simpson’s journal was published by his brother, Alexander Simpson. Dease Inlet was named by Thomas Simpson for his colleague, and Simpson Lagoon was named by Ernest de Koven Leffingwell for Thomas Simpson. Smith, Philip Sidney: 1906—46 , Philip Sidney Smith, 1877—1949, USGS geologist andehief Alaskan Geologist from 1924 to 1946, began his Alaskari work on the Seward Peninsula in 1906. In 1910 Smith, accompanied by H. M. Eakin, geologist, made a geological survey from the Koyukuk River drainage to the upper Kobuk River and then de- cended that stream to its mouth. The following year, Eaccom- panied by C. E. Giffin, topographer, he made a reconnaissance of the Alatna River and fOund a pass to the head of the Noatak River, traversing that stream to its mouth. Smith was on the 1924—26 expeditions to investigate Naval Petroleum Reserve 4. He also worked in the Lake Clark, Iditarod, and Fairbanks area. In 1933—34 he was in Alaska to supervise Public Works Adminis- tration programs. The Philip Smith Mountains in the Brooks Range were named for him. Snow, Albert Sydney: 1886 i Lt. Comdr. (later Rear Adm.) Albert Sydney Snow, 1845—1932) USN, in command of the US. Coast and Geodetic Survey steamer Patterxon, and Lt. (later Rear Adm.) James Meredith Helm, 1855—1927, USN, in command of the McArthur, made surveys and charted southeastern Alaska between Wrangell Harbor and Port Simpson. Charts of this area, incorporating the results of their reports, were published by the Coast and Geodetic Survey. Spanish Expeditions: 1775—79 Spanish exploration of the northwest coast of America north of California began in 1774 with an expedition, led by Juan Perez, which reached the Queen Charlotte Islands, Canada, before turn- ing back. Not satisfied with the results of Perez’ expedition, the Mexican Viceroy, Antonio Maria Bucareli, sent two ships in 1775 to explore northward. Owing to scurvy among the crew, the Santiago, under the command of Bruno Heceta, turned back be- fore reaching Alaskan waters. The smaller ship Sonora, com- manded by Don Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra, continued northward to about the area of present-day Sitka, where Bogeda y Quadra landed and took possession in the name of the King of Spain. The account of this expedition was recorded by pilot Francisco Antonio Maurelle (Mourelle) , second in command on‘ the Sonora. On this voyage they discovered and named Bucareli Bay. On February 11, 1779, another expedition sailed from Mexico; it consisted of La Prim-era, commanded by Don Ignacio Arteaga, and La Favorita, under Bodega y Quadra, with Maurelle as pilot! The two vessels reached Bucareli Bay early in May, after which they explored the area for 2 months and named many features. (See fig. 14.) About July 1 they sailed north and west along the coast to Prince William Sound, Cook Inlet, and the Alaska Penin- sula before turning back on August 7. Spencer, Arthur Coe: 1900—1916 Arthur Coe Spencer, 1871—1964, USGS geologist from 1896 to 1939, worked with F. C. Schrader in the Copper River region in 1900. In 1903, assisted by C. W. Wright, geologist, he made a detailed study of the geology and mineral resources in the Juneau area and a reconnaissance of the mining camps of the mainland part of southeast Alaska from Windham Bay to and including the Porcupine Creek placer district. He was again in the Juneau area in 1916 working with H. M. Eakin. Spurr, Josiah Edward: 1896—98 Josiah Edward Spurr, 1870—1950, USGS geologist intermit- tently from 1895 to 1906, made a geological reconnaissance in the summer of 1896 from the head of Lynn Canal, over Chilkoot Pass, to the Yukon, and then down that river to St. Michael. He was assisted on this trip by H. B. Goodrich and F. C. Schrader; the group did special investigations in the Fortymile, Birch Creek, Eagle, and Rampart districts and thereby reported some of the first prospectors’ place names from those areas. See the U.S. Geological Survey Eighteenth Annual Report for 1896—97 (Pt. 3, p. 87—392). In the summer of 1898 Spurr made a reconnaissance of south- western Alaska accompanied by William Schuyler Post, topog- They began at Cook Inlet, crossed the Alaska Range, descended the Kuskokwim River, crossed from its mouth to Nusha— rapher. gak, and then traveled across the Alaska Peninsula to Katmai. On the lower Kuskokwim, Spurr and Post obtained Eskimo names from John Henry Kilbuck, 1861—1922, and Dr. Joseph Herman Romig, Moravian missionaries stationed in the area, and most of these names are recorded on Post’s fieldsheets which cover the en- tire route of the expedition. (See fig. 15.) An account of the expedition was published by the Geological Survey in its Twentieth Annual Report (Pt. 7, p. 31—264). Mount Spurr in the Alaska Range, the Post River in the Kuskokwim drainage, and Kilbuck Mountains commemorate the above men. 33 Staniukovich, Mikhail Nikolaievich: 1827-28 Capt. Mikhail N ikolaievich Staniukovich, IRN, in command of the sloop M oller, accompanied Capt. F. P. Lutke, IRN, on the latter’s voyage around the world in 1826—29. Staniukovich made a survey of the north shore of the Alaska Peninsula, the results of which were incorporated in Lutke’s “Voyage around the World * * * Nautical Part.” Stanley-Brown, Joseph: 1891 Joseph Stanley-Brown, 1858—1941, USGS geologist, was de- tailed in April 1891 as special agent for the U.S. Treasury De- partment to study the seal of the Pribilof Islands. Between June 10 and September 22 he also made contour maps of St. Paul and St. George Islands and detailed maps, not contoured, of the var- ious seal rookeries. These maps were published in the Proceed- ings of the Fur Seal Arbitration Tribunal of 1893. From 1894 to 1899 Stanley-Brown served as Superintendent of the North America Commercial Co. Steller, Georg Wilhelm: See Bering. Stockton, Charles Herbert: 1889 Lt. Comdr. (later Rear Adm.) Charles Herbert Stockton, 1845— 1923, USN, in command of the U.S.S. Thetis, was assigned the duty of looking after whaling interests in Alaskan water. The cruise of the Thetis covered the coast of Alaska from Dixon En- trance, through the Aleutians at Unalaska Island, along the west coast, and east from Point Barrow to the Mackenzie River. Stockton published an account of this voyage in 1890 in the National Geographic Magazine, and his nomenclature and geo- graphic results were recorded the same year on U.S. Navy Hydro- graphic Chart 1189. Stockton named the Thetis Islands after his ship, and Stockton Islands were named by Ernest de Koven Leif- ingwell to commemorate this naval officer’s contribution to the geography of the Arctic coast. Stoney, George Morse: 1883-86 In 1883 Lt. (later Comdr.) George Morse Stoney, 1852—1905, USN, was sent to St. Lawrence Bay, Siberia, to carry presents to the natives who had been very kind to the officers and men of the Naval ship Rodgers, which had burned in winter quarters while in search for the [eannetta Stoney, who had been on the Rodgers, traveled to St. Lawrence Bay aboard the U.S. revenue cutter Corwin, under command of Capt. Michael A. Healy, USN. Healy then proceeded to Kotzebue Sound where Stoney borrowed a boat and some men and explored Hotham Inlet and the lower course of the Kobuk River. Stoney returned in 1884 aboard the schooner Ounalaska. He explored about 300 miles up the Kobuk but had been preceded in this journey by Lt. J. C. Cantwell, USRCS, by a few days. He returned again in 1885 aboard the schooner Viking and was again preceded upriver by Cantwell. Stoney wintered at Fort Cosmos, which he built and named. During this time a system of triangulation was extended over the valleys of the Kobuk, Noatak, and Selawik Rivers, and this region as well as the upper Alatna and Colville Rivers and Chandler Lake were explored and mapped. During the winter Ens. (later Rear Adm.)

Zagoskin, Laurenti Alexief: 1842—45 From 1842 to 1845, while in the employ of the Russian Amer- ican Company, Lt. Laurenti Alexief Zagoskin, 1808—90, IRN, made explorations and surveys on the lower Yukon River, on the Kuskokwim River, and in the Norton Sound area. An account of his work, including some maps of the areas he covered, was published in 1847 in St. Petersburg. These maps proved to be extremely useful in substantiating early Eskimo names of streams and settlements in they Yukon—Kuskokwim Delta and Norton Sound areas. His surveys extended from the junction of the Kateel and Koyukuk Rivers, in March 1843, to a point on the Yukon River below the mouth of the Tozitna River in June 1843, and to the junction of the Takotna and Kuskokwim Rivers in June 1844.

The same year he founded the present tdwn of Wrangell and built a stockade here which was named for hlim. In 1838 he surveyed and named Woewodski Harbor on the soixth side of Admiralty Island in the Alexander Archipelago. Zarembo’s maps were published in 1848 as insets on Russian Hydrographic Department Chart 1396. Acknowledgments Compilation of this dictionary required the time and effort of many persons in the US.

Alargate Alla, Sheer—ofI-there Rock. Named in 1923 by USC&GS. The word “alargate” is from the Spanish “alagar,” meaning “to sheer off”; Baker (1906, p. 568) published the name “Sheer-oH-there Rock.” The notation “Alargate Alla,” meaning “give this a wide berth,” was published next to this feature on maps of the 1779 expedition of Ignacio Arteaga (Wagner, 1937, p. 373).

Russian America, Sewards Folly, Territory of Alexander, Walrussia. > The name “Alaska” seems to have lbeen gradually established by local use; vaguely applied at first to a supposed island, later und to be the southwestern end of the Alaska nin- sula. The application of the name gra ually developed from this beginning to include the whole area (Stewart, 1956, p. 203). :The Russians officially designated it “Russian America” prior to its 1867 purchase by the United States. The name “Alaska” was pro! posed in 1867 for official acceptance by Seward, US. Secretary of State, the able Charles Sumner, Senator and ch , of the Committee on Foreign Relation E by Maj. General H.

Authoritative sources generally agree that the name “Alaska” is derived from “an Aleut root meaning ‘a great country or conti- nent’ * * *” or “* * * ‘mainland’ * * *” (Stewart, 1956, p. 193—203). In 1762, Bechevin (cnna), a merchant of Irkutsk, Siberia, wintered in Isanotski Strait between Unimak Island and the Alaska Peninsula. He regarded the western end of the peninsula as an island, reportedly called “Alaksu” or “Alakshak” (Bancroft, 1886, p. 122—124 and 165). Capt. Lt. P. K. Krenitzin and Lt. Michael Levashev, IRN, in 1768, also referred to a large island called “Alaxa” north- east of Unimak Island (Coxe, 1787, map fac- ing p. 205). The first to correctly apply the name was Capt. James Cook (1785, v. 2, p. 504), RN, in 1778, who said “I have already observed that the American continent is here called by the Russians, as well as the islanders, Alaschka, which name, though it properly belongs only to the country adjoining to Oonemak [Unimak Island], is used by them when speaking of the American continent in general, which they know perfectly well to be a great land.” After the publication of Cook’s work, the name was generally applied (with various spellings) to the peninsula; Lt. Sarichev (1826, map 3), IRN, used “Mys Alyaksa” or “Alyaksa Cape [headland]” on a 1791 map and Capt. Lutke (1836, p. 257), IRN, re- ported it as “Presquile D’Alaska” meaning “Alaska Peninsula.” The Aleut name “Alakhskhak” was recorded by Father Venia- minov (1840, v. 1, p. 220) and Capt. Tebenkov A 61 1852, map 24), IRN, applied the name ‘ Poloustrov Alyaska” or “Alaska Peninsula.” The name and its application to the State nd peninsula was well established in the late 1880’s when W. H. Dall (1870, p. 129—30) wrote: “* * * This name, now applied to the whole of our new territory, is a corruption, very far removed from the original word. "' * * called by the natives Al-ak-shak or Al-ay-ek-sa * * *. From Alayeksa the name became, * * * Alaksa, Alashka, Aliaska, and finally Alaska * * *.

The name “Alaskan Range” appears to be rst applied to these mountains in 1869 by all (1870, p. 286). The name eventually ecame “Alaska Range” through local use. 1 1849 Constantin Grewingk applied the ame “Tschigmit” to this mountain range. “A ap made by the United States Land Office, 369, calls the southwestern part of the Alaska Range Chigmit mountains and the north- eastern part Beaver mountains” (Baker, 1906, p. 176).

Allen (1887, p. 98), USA, as “Allenka- kat,” or “mouth of the Allen.” We do not Albert Creek know if this was an attempt by Allen to com- memorate himself or whether it was an unin- tentional corruption of “Allakaket,” or “mouth of Ala.” Archdeacon Stuck (1917, p. 341) thinks the latter is true, and that all white men (in 1917) corrupted “Allakaket” to “Allenkaket” because the pronunciation was easier for those speaking English. The pres- ent spelling appears to have been obtained in 1899 by F. C. Schrader and T. G. Gerdine, USGS, although the latter still showed “Al- lenkakat River” on his fieldsheet. The Eski- mo name for this stream is “Alasuk,” spelled in 1886 by Lt. Stoney (1900, map), USN, “Al-lash-ook” and in 1885 by Lt. Cantwell, USRCS, “Ah-lash-ok” (Healy, 1887, p. 39). W. C. Mendenhall and D. L. Reaburn’s 1901 USGS expedition showed the “Alatna” and “Alasuk,” which since 1885 had been repre- sented as different streams, to be the same.

The name “Aleutian Islands” was previously applied to only the westernmost group, the Near Islands (Coxe, 1787, p. 25). There are several hypotheses concerning the linguistic origin and meaning of the name. See: Kotzebue, 1821, v. 3, p. 312; Veniaminov, 1840, v. 2, p. 2; Bancroft, 1886, p. 106; and Hrdliéka, 1945, p. 19—23. The Russians also called the chain “Katerina” in honor of Catherine the Great.

Name derived from Point Barrow, and was originally a general designation, because “white” residents found it easier to pronounce than the Eskimo name. A post office estab- lished in 1901 helped the name “Barrow” to become dominant. The Eskimo name, best rendered “Utkiakvik,” refers in meaning to a “high place for viewing,” so named because it was situated on relatively high (30 ft.) land at Cape Smyth. Although Capt. Beechey’s party (1831, p. 307), RN, mentions a village at Cape Smyth in 1826, the name was first recorded in 1853 as “Ot-ki-a-wing” by Comdr. Rockfort Maguire, RN (Great Britain, 1854, map facing p. 186). John Simpson’s native map dated 1855, records the name “Otkia— wik,” which was printed on the subsequent Brit. Adm. Chart as “Otkiovik.” Lt. P. H. Ray’s party established a station located one- half mile northeast of the native village for meteorologic and magnetic observations in 1881. They called the station “Ooglaamie” or “Uglaamie,” a name that was later often transferred to the village (Murdoch, 1892, p. 26), USA. See Cape Smyth and Browerville.

Beechey (1831, p. 302), 108 RN, in Sept. 1826 for Sir John Barrow “to mark the progress of northern discovery * * * advocated by that distinguished member of our naval administration.” The point was discovered by Thomas Elson, William Smyth, and the crew whom Beechey sent in an open boat to explore northward when his ship, the HMS Blossom, was unable to proceed farther. The Eskimo name for the point is “Nuwak” meaning “point of land.” The name “Cape North,” originally applied by Thomas Simp- son, had some use on early charts before the present name became established.

Barter Islands, Kaaktovik Island, Kaktoavik Island, Noobooa, Point Manning, Tungak Island, Nuwuak. On August 4, 1826, Sir John Franklin (1828, p. 146), assuming it part of the main- land, applied the name “Point Manning” to the E point of this island. Franklin’s original “Barter Island” was renamed “Arey Island” by Leflingwell (1919, p. 93), because local usage had applied the name Barter Island to the above location. John Simpson’s native map, dated 1855, shows “Tungak Island,” and on what appears to be present-day Manning Point the Eskimo name “Nu-wu-ak Point” is shown with the note “the place of barter.” This is probably the source of the name Barter Island. Leffingwell gives the Eskimo name for the island as “Kaktoavik” meaning “sein- ing place.” Vilhjalmur Stefansson spells this name “Kaaktovik.” See Arey Island, Kakto- vik Lagoon, and Manning Point.

Marshall (1933, p. 39) wrote, “As early as 1899 the town of Slate Creek was started at the mouth of the creek which bears that name. In the summer of 1900 one of the waves of green stampeders got as far up the Koyukuk as this point, then got cold feet, turned around, and departed. This incident was enough to change the first, unromantic ap- pellation of the settlement to Coldfoot.” A post office was established here in 1902 and discontinued in 1912 (Ricks, 1965, p. 14). According to Marshall (p. 39), in 1902, Cold- foot consisted of “one gambling hole, two roadhouses, two stores, and seven saloons.” Activity subsided when the mining activity moved upstream to Nolan and Wiseman Creeks, and a new town, called Wiseman, was established about 1912.

Translation of the Russian “O[strova] Chetyre Soposhnye,” meaning “Islands of Four Volcanoes” (Sarichev, 1826, map 3). This name was given because of four prominent volcanoes on four of the five islands. The Aleut name “Unigun” was re- ported in 1840 by Father Veniaminov. There appears to be much confusion regarding the application of the variant names of these islands, possibly because only four of the five islands are shown on most of the early maps and charts. The present names were gathered in 1894 by a field party on the U.S.S. Con- cord and published in 1895 by the U.S. Navy Hydrog. Oflice (Chart 8).

Carroll Straight, Icy Channel. Origin of the name somewhat obscure. Name appears on a manuscript map pre- pared for the Western Union Telegraph Co. in 1867.

Baker (1906) says that the name was derived from one of the Hudson Bay Company’s steamers. However, this has been questioned since the company had no vessel of this name on this coast. Capt. George Vancouver, who explored this coast in 1794, overlooked this channel, probably because it was choked with ice at the time. The name “Carroll Straight” was probably for Capt. James Carroll, a steamship captain and an early Juneau property owner (DeArmond, 1957, p. 20—21).

Maddren, USGS, as “Haidilatna,” which is probably an English distortion by prospectors of the name of an Ingalik Indian village on stream spelled by Father Jetté “Khadilotden.” It was shortly thereafer standardized to “Iditarod” from “Haiditarod.” Lt. L. A. Zagoskin, IRN, records two Indian names for the stream in 1842—44, “Yalchikatna (or Yalchikatna)” ob- tained from the Indians on Innoko River and “Tachaichagat” apparently obtained from In- dians on Kuskokwim drainage.

The town was founded in 1792 by Alexander Baranov, Manager of the Shelikov (later the Russian American) Company from 1792 to 1808. He named it “Pavlovsk Gavan,” or “Paul’s Harbor.” Baranov moved Shelikov’s settlement from Three Saints Harbor to this location because “the land surrounding it was higher and drier * * * it was surrounded by the timber needed to build boats, buildings and better fortifications * * *.” (Ameigh and Chaifin, 1962, p. 45). The 11th Census in 1890 (1893, p. 74) reported, “The most important permanent settlement in the Second district is Kadiak, designated on our charts as St. Paul. The place was selected as a central station and headquarters of the Russian fur-trading companies in the year 1789 on account of its good harbor and close vicinity of good build- ing timber. Previous to the establishment of New Archangel, or Sitka, on its present site, Kadiak was also the headquarters of the Rus- sian American Company.” The town was called “St. Paul” in 1805 by Lisianski (1814, p. 168), and “gavan St. Pavla” in 1849 by Capt. Tebenkov (1852, map 23). Sarichev ( 1826, map 16) showed it as “Seleniye Pavlov- skoy Gavani,” or “Settlement of Paul’s Har- bor.” Kodiak Harbor: bight, see Saint Paul Harbor.

According to Bancroft (1886, p. 141 ), “Glottof finally anchored on the 8th of Sep- tember off the coast of a large and mountain- Kogish Mountain ous island, called Kikhtak by the natives, but now known as Kadiak.” Petroff (in Ban- croft, p. 224) says, “Kikhtak, or Kikhtowik, is the Innuit word for island. At the present day [1886] the natives of the peninsula speak of the Kodiak people simply as Kikhtaga- mutes, islanders. The tribal name appears to have been Kaniag and the Russian appellation now in use probably derived from both.” The name “Kodiak” was first used on October 20, 1778, by Capt. Cook (1785, v. 2, p. 504) who wrote, “It was from him [Ismylofl‘] that we got the name of Kodiak.” During the 1800’s many spellings of the name were used and “Kadiak” was adopted as the oflicial name in 1890, but was changed to its present spelling in 1901 because of popular local usage.

Eskimo name reported in 1899 as “Koo- groog” by Schrader and Brooks (1900, map 3), USGS. This appears to be the stream that Ivan Petroff in 1880 named “Mammoth” “from the occurrence of Mammoth bones in the vicinity” (Baker, 1906, p. 424). Re- ported as “Swan River” in 1901 by D. L. Reaburn (in Mendenhall, 1902, pl. 42), USGS. In 1904, after USGS had completed re- connaissance mapping of Seward Peninsula, attention was called to the fact that three major rivers on the peninsula were named “Kugruk.” Action was then taken to change these names. The above river was retained as Kugruk since that is the way it was used in court records. The Kugruk River which flows to the Kuzitrin River was changed to Kougarok River, because, as A. J. Collier, USGS, stated in a letter, “it has always been pronounced locally as Koogarok, and so ap- pears on all claim notices. When I first heard the name in 1900, I fancied that it had reference to the Rocky Mountain lion as cougar. In court records it is usually spelled ‘Kougarok,’ and the mining district is the Kougarok district.” The Kugruk River which flows northwest to the Chukchi Sea was changed to Kugrupaga River because that was the name shown on the Monroe and Hutchin’s map prepared under direction of the court in 1901. Since no gold of economic value had yet been found on this stream, it was felt this change could be effected without incon- venience. Kugruk River: stream, see Kougarok River.

Zagoskin, IRN, in 1842—44, as “Ozero Kuka-Klik,” or “Lake Kukaklik.” Although it is shown as a large lake on Kuskokwim-Yukon Portage, its exact identity cannot be determined. R. H. Sargent, USGS, who traversed the portage in 1916, placed the name on the lake im- mediately south of Kulik Lake, in a location verified by USC&GS in 1949. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, however, applied the name to Kukaklik Lake’s present location in 1952. Authorities give the Eskimo name with various spellings. They may represent two names for this feature, or confusion in the application of names to the “portage lakes.” Capt. R. W. Raymond, USA, called it “Ookakhl” and “Oakakhl,” in 1869, and W. S. Post, USGS, called it “Oknakluk” in 1898. Kukak Point: point of land, N point of en- trance to Kukak Bay, on S coast of Alaska Penin., in Katmai National Monument, 33 mi.

Nichols, USN, in the USC&GS 1891 Coast Pilot (p. 189). At that time he thought that Kakkan Bay was identical to Portlock Harbor, but this was later discovered to be incorrect. The bay was named for a Tlingit Chief, Michael Kuk- kan, who in 1862 was appointed by the Rus- sian Government to be “Chief Toyon of Kolo- shi” (Alaska Boundary Tribunal, v. 2, p. 316).

The first mention of the Mount McKinley massif is by Capt. George Vancouver, who, after seeing it from Cook Inlet in 1794, re- ferred to the “stupendous snow mountains.” The Russians descriptively called the moun- tain “Bolshaya (Bulshaia) Gora” or “big mountain.” Alfred Mayo and Arthur Har- per, pioneer Alaska traders, after a trip up the Tanana in 1878, reported an enormous ice mountain to the south but did not name it. A prospector, Frank Densmore, spoke so en- thusiastically after seeing the mountain from Lake Minchumina in 1889, that it was known for years among prospectors as “Densmores Peak.” The Tanana Indian name was re- ported as “Denali,” and the Tanaina Indian name is given as “Doleika” or “Traleika.” Each of these names is said to mean “the big one” or “the high one.” North Peak was first reached on April 3, 1910, by two prospectors, Peter Anderson and William Taylor.

Aigagin, Aiyagin, Ajagisch, Ayagish, Ayyagyh, Cheer- ful Mountain, Makuschkin Volcano, Ogne- dieshutshai Gora, Ognedyshushchaya Gora, Wesselow. Russian name, probably derived from the word “makushka,” meaning “the crown (of the head)” or “top,” and applied to this feature because it is the highest point on Un- alaska Island. This volcano was called “Og- nedyshushchaya Gora” meaning “burning mountain” by Sarichev (1826, map 14, dated 1792), IRN. Sarichev also called it “Ay- yagy ” (1802, v. 2., p. 132). Rev. Coxe (1787, p. 210) wrote “there is a burning mountain here called ‘Ayagish.’ ” These na- tive names are probably derived from the Aleutian word “ayaq” which, according to R. H. Geoghegan, is the name applied to Makushin Volcano on Unalaska I. This Aleut word may possibly come from the words “ai- gay” meaning “greater, larger,” and -“kigu- siq,” meaning “volcano.” Bank (1956, p. 24) reported “an old Aleut legend which told of a great battle that had occurred between the Makushin and Recesnoi, one of the vol< canoes on the next island to the west.

Otto von Kotzebue (in Baker, 1906, p. 426) says “An animal in many respects similar to the squirrel; but it is much larger and lives in the earth; it is called in Siberia ‘Gewraschka.’ The Americans call it ‘Tschikschi’ [prob- ably from the Eskimo ‘Sikrik’ or ‘Siksik’ mean- ing ‘ground squirrel’].” In 1890 the U.S. Census Bureau (11th Census, 1893, p. 73) reports “The only land animals [on Marmot Island] are the foxes and myriads of ground squirrels (spermophilus), * * *. These rodents are called ‘yevrashka’ in Rus- sian. This word our mapmakers erroneously translated ‘marmot,’ and thus misnamed the island * * *.” Father Veniaminov (1846, p. 63) published the Aleut name “Uhnik” [for Yevrashka] from “ulngiq” which according to R. H. Geoghegan, means “ground squir- rel.” This island was named “St. Hermo- genes” on May 25, 1778, by Capt. Cook (1785, v. 2, p. 384) and “Isla de Camacho” in 1779 by Don Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra and Francisco Antonio Maurelle (Baker, 1906, p. 426). Wagner (1937, p. 437) says, “Afognak Island is drawn so out of place on Camacho’s map that I have grave doubts about this being Marmot Island, as identified by Baker. It has more the appear- ance of being Afognak Island proper.” The name given by Quadra and Maurelle was probably for the navigator Josef Camacho who copied their map.

Schrader and Brooks (1900, p. 11), USGS, who visited the town in October 1899, spoke of the “thriving young city of Nome, first called Anvil City, now officially Nome.” Gold was found in the area in the summer of 1898 and the town got its start in October 1898 when six men met at the mouth of the Snake River and formed the Cape Nome mining district. The short-lived name “Anvil City” was derived from Anvil Creek, where the first major gold was found. In June, 1899, gold was found on the beaches of Nome and by August a number of men were prospecting the beaches. The news of the gold strike was carried to the States that winter and in early summer 1900 the rush was on. At the peak that summer there were 30,000 people at Nome, but 16,000 left in 13 weeks (Rickard 1909, p. 308—337). Nome incorporated on April 9, 1901.

Its origin is generally attributed to an Ad- mirality draftsman’s misinterpretation of “? name” annotated on a manuscript chart con- structed on board the H.M.S. Herald about 1850— 1852. The “2’” mark was taken as a “C” and the “a” was thought to be an “o. ” This is the explanation given by the Chief Cartographer of the British Admirality in 1900. Nome City: town, see Nome.

Cabo Espafiol, Ham- ond Point, Mys Gamon, Punta de Cafias, Punta de Navia, Punta Espaiiol, Punta Santa Rosa. Named by Vitus Bering on July 20, 1741 (O.S.), for the saint whose day it was. This feature was also called “Santa Rosa” in 1779 by Don Ignacio Arteaga; “Espafio” in 1791 by Capt. Alessandro Malaspina; “Punta de Caiias,” meaning “point of reeds,” in 1796, by T. M. Lopez. Capt.

The sighting of Mount Saint Elias on July 16, 1741 (0.5.), by Vitus Bering on the Saint Peter represents the “official” discovery of northwestern America by the Russians. Al- though many authorities give Bering credit for naming the mountain, it appears more likely that the name was borrowed from Cape Saint Elias by eighteenth century mapmakers and applied to the “high volcano” left un- named by its discoverer. The first ascent of the mountain was made July 31, 1897, by His Royal Highness, Prince Luigi Amedeo di Savoia, Duke of the Abruzzi and his party. See Farquhar (1959, p. 229, 230). Accord- ing to H.

Var. Saint Elias Alps, Saint Elias Range. In 1870, Dall (p. 286) wrote: “The Coast or St. Elias Range contains the highest peaks and most of the volcanoes. It extends along the whole northwest coast from California to the peninsula of Aliaska.” On an 1880 Cen- sus map, Ivan Petroff applied the name “St. Elias Alps” to the mountains between the Copper River and Mount Fairweather. Sub- sequent maps have restricted the application of the name to the above described mountains. Saint Elias Range: mountain range, see Saint Elias Mountains.

Named by Capt. Cook (1785, v. 2, p. 383), RN, on May 24, 1778, because he thought this was the same feature previously named by 826 Vitus Bering. Cook says “and by what I can gather from the account of Beering’s [sic] voyage, and the chart that accompanies it in the English edition, I conclude, that it must be what he called Cape St. Hermogenes * * *.” Wagner (1937, p. 406) says “a name given by * * * Bering July 26, 1741, to a place concerning the location of which there has been much discussion * * *. This was undoubtedly the north point of Marmot Is— land [Cook’s location] * * * although it is now, I believe, erroneously applied to the eastern point of the island * * *.” The name was published by Capt. Tebenkov (1852, map 22), RN, as “M[ys] Germogena,” or “Cape Germogena.” Saint Hermogenes Island: island, see Marmot Island. Saint Hyacinth: island, see Kruzof Island.

Var. Anderson Island, C ebukak Island, Clerkes Island, Eivoogiena flsland, Tschibocki Island. ; Discovered by Vitus Bering on Sai ‘ rence day, August 10, 1728 (O.S.,) an inamed by him, “Saint Lawrence.” ~Baker (1906, p. 542) noted: “G. F. Muller (Voyages, 1761) says: ‘They heard of an island which was said to lie somewhat farther, at no great dis- tance from the continent; to this they gave the name of Saint Lawrence, on account of its being the 10th of August, that‘saint’s day, when they passed by it, without observ- ing anything upon it besides Cottages 0 ifisher- men’.” It was also called “Sind” X Russian charts, for Lt. Sind [cnna], wh ipassed somewhere near it in 1766. ‘ Capt. James Cook, RN, passed east of this island in 1778 and west of it in 1779. Its eastern end he named “Anderson Island” for called Saint Lawrence Island, but died before the correction was made in his published ac- count. Cook named the main body of the island, “Clerkes Island” for Capt. Charles Clerke of the Discovery, and its western end, which he shows as another separate island, he calls “Saint Laurence” and “Saint Lawrence,” taking the name from Bering. According to Commodore Joseph Billings, the Chukchi natives of Siberia call this island “E-oo-vogen” which he spells on his chart “Eivoogiena.” He also gives the variant names “Clerke” and “Sinde.” G. A. Sarichev, who accompanied Billings in 1791—92 shows “Saint Lawrence” or “Eivugen.” Lt. Otto von Kotzebue gave the island’s Eskimo name as “Tschibocki,” a name now preserved as “Chi- bukak Point.” Saint Lazaria, Cape: point of lead, see Edge- cumbe, Cape.

Choris IS< land, Gores Island, Ile Saint Matthieu, Is- land Apostle Matthei, Matwi Island, Ostrov Svyataya Matvyya, Saint Matwey Island. According to the Rev. Coxe (1787, map facing p. 223) this island was discovered and named by Lt. Sind (Synd) in August 1766. Coxe’s map showed it as “I. Apost. Matthei” which is probably a translation from the Rus- sian meaning “Island [of the] Apostle Matthew” probably implying the island was sighted on or near St. Matthew’s day. Capt. Cook (1785, p. 491), RN, found the island September 23, 1778 and erroneously thought “it was wholly unknown to the Russians; and therefore, considering it as a discovery of our own, I named it Gore’s Island,” for Lt. John Gore, RN, of his party. The later Russian maps, however, continued calling it O[strov] Sv[yataya] Matvyya (Sarichev, 1826, map 3, Tebenkov, 1852, map 3) which has been translated into English in its present form. Saint Matthews Bay: bay, 1.5 mi. wide, on N shore of Port Gravina, 25 mi. NW of Cor- dova, Chugach Mts.; 60°44’ N, 146°20’ W; BGN 1933; (map 64). Var. St. Matthew Bay.

Fort Saint Michael, Michaelovski, Redoubt Saint Michael, Saint Michaels. About 1833 the Russians established a stockaded post, which, “according to (Lt. L. A.) Zagoskin, (IRN), was named after Capt. Michael Dmitrievich Tebenkov, afterwards governor of the Russian-American colony.” (Baker, 1906, p. 543). At an early date the name was changed to “Michaelovski,” or “Re- doubt Saint Michael.” The population, 109 in 1880, was predominantly Eskimo, and in- cluded the village of Techek. In 1890 the population was 101 (in 14 houses); in 1910, 450; in 1920, 371;in1930,147;in1940,142; and in 1950, 157. The Saint Michael post office and an American military post, called Saint Nicholas, Port “Fort Saint Michael,” were established in 1897, following the Klondike gold strike and the subsequent increased Yukon River traflic, most of which originated at Saint Michael. The fort was abandoned in 1922. See Techek. Saint Michael Bay: bay, 2 mi. across, on E side of St. Michael 1., in Norton Sound, Yukon- Kuskokwim Delta; 63°27’ N, 162°00’ W; (map 92). Var.

Libby Station, Libbysville, Nook, Nooke, Nookmut, Nookmute, Nukmiute. In 1827 Capt. Beechey (1831, p. 543), RN, reported that at this place “called Nooke by the natives, there were some Esquimaux fish- ermen * * *. They appeared to have es- tablished themselves upon this point for the purpose of catching and drying fish.” This location was used in the winter of 1866—67 as quarters by Capt. Daniel B. Libby’s section of the Western Union Telegraph Expedition, and was known as “Libbysville” or “Libby Station.” In 1867 “The Esquimaux,” a monthly newspaper, which was published there, noted (July 2, p. 38), “Nook, the spot which divided Grantley Harbor from Port Clarence.” In the 1880 Census, Petroff (1884-, p. 11) listed a “Nook” at Cape Doug- las with a population of 36 Eskimos. It is doubtful that any permanent settlement was established here before 1900, when the vil- lage of Teller “was founded * * * after the Bluestone placers, 15 miles to the south, were discovered. A town named “Bering * * * 5 miles south of Teller, was the first settlement, but the newer town of Teller drew its people from it. The latter town [Teller], which, dur- ing the boom of 1900, had over 1,000 in- habitants, now has not over 100” (Collier and others, 1908, p. 270). The name was probably derived from the Teller Reindeer Station situated on the north shore of Port Clarence. The population in 1910 was 125; 955 in 1920, 80; in 1930, 76; in 1939, 118; in 1950, 160.

Brevig Mission, Okaveenok, Singick, Sinio- gamut, Siniogamute Sinuk, Teller Reindeer Station. Established in 1892 as “Teller Reindeer Station” by Sheldon Jackson, who named it for the Hon. Henry Moore Teller, 1830—1914, U.S. Senator, 1876—82 and 1885—1909, and Secretary of the Interior, 1882~85. The sta- tion was operated by the U.S. Government from 1892 to 1900. On September 1, 1900, a Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran mission was established here, and received 100 deer on a five-year loan from the Government (Jackson, 1906, p. 15). About 1906 the U.S. Government’s role was diminished, and the mission became dominant. The popula- tion in 1950 was 109; prior to this time no population was given. In 1963 the Brevig Mission Post Office was established here. This may have been the site of an old Eskimo vil- lage. See Siniogamute. Teller Reindeer Station: village, see Teller Mis- sion.

There is an old Aleut legend, as told by Ted Bank (1956, p. 227—228), that when the first Aleuts came to the islands there were no trees, as now, except on this island. There was one tree, with no branches or leaves, so tall that it disappeared in the clouds. The tree was twisted, and to the Aleuts it looked like the seaweed that they used to make fish lines; therefore, they called the island “Umnaqs” meaning “fish line.” Visions told the people that the tree stood for the Aleut way of life, and if it were destroyed, the Aleut race would disappear forever. When the Russians came to the island, they cut down the tree to make a house for themselves, ‘but they all died soon after.

Their residence was at King-a-ghee, a place which, judging from the respectability of parties from that place, whom we had seen elsewhere, must be im- portant among the Esquimaux villages upon the coast.” Capt. E. E. Smith, USRCS, re- ported the village as “Kingigamute” with a population of 400 Eskimo in the 10th Cen- sus in 1880. The 1890 Census listed 488 persons.

This island was formerly named “O[strov] Peregreb- noy” by Father Ioann Veniaminov ( 1840, v. 1, p. 252), which is the Russian form of the Aleut name “Unatkuyuk” meaning “crested” or “serrated.” Capt. F. P. Lutke, IRN, in 1836 reported it as “[Ile] Peregrebny.” ‘ Wosnesensky Island: island, see Wosnesenski Island. Wossnessensky Island: island, see Wosnesenski Island.

Wrangell began as a Stockade built by the Russians occupying the island in 1834 “to prevent encroachment by the Hudso%’;:V Bay , ort- Company traders” (Bridgwater and Sh : ood, 1950, p. 2,175). It was called “ ed[ut] Sv[ataya] Dioniciya,” meaning “Redoubt [fort] Saint Dionysius,” by the Russian Hydrog. Dept. on Chart 1396 published in 1848. In 1839 the Russians leased part of Southeast Alaska to the British who changed the name to “Fort Stikine.” When the United States purchased Alaska in 1867 a military post, called Fort Wrangell, was established here; it was abandoned in 1877. Fort Wrangel post office was established in 1869; changed to Wrangell in 1902 (Ricks, 1965, p. 21, 72). Because of its location Wrangell became an important supply point for fur traders and miners beginning with the Stikine gold rush in 1861 (Alaska Sportsman, 1962, no. 12, p. 30). The population in 1890 was 316; 1000 (est.) in 1938; 948 in 1945; and 1162 in 1950.
