History

This stream was considered the main fork of the Fish River and a route of travel between Golovnin Bay and Grantley Harbor until gold prospectors arrived in 1899 and detailed maps were constructed. Schrader and Brooks (1900, map 3), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), reported the "Neukluk" as tributary to the Fish River in 1899. The following year E. C. Barnard (in Brooks, 1901, pl. 17), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), reported and established the present spelling.
