History of Mentanontli River

Name reported in 1901 as "Mentanontli Creek" by D. L. Reaburn (in Mendenhall, 1902, pl. 4a), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). In a sense, Lieutenant Allen (1887, p. 96), USA, reported this name in 1885 when he referred to the outlet of "Lake Todatonten (Tatatontly)" as "Mentanontlekakat," or "mouth of the Mentanontle."
