History of Tazlina Glacier

Lieutenant Allen (1887, map), USA, obtained Ahtena Indian name "Tezlina" for the present-day Tazlina River (p. 62). W. C. Mendenhall, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), is responsible for applying the Indian stream name, which he spelled Taxlina (Takhlina), to the glacier at the stream's head in 1898. Tazlina (Tas-lin'tna) means "swift river."
