Incomplete record. Heads in Alaska at the terminus of Russell Galcier, flows northeast across the international boundary into Canada to the Yukon River, 12 miles upstream from the mouth of the Steward River, Wrangell Mountains.
Discovered in 1850 by Robert Campbell of Hudson's Bay Company and so named by him on account of its color. Lieutenant Schwatka (1885b, p39), USA, wrote of this stream, "its waters seemingly liquid mud, from whence it probably derives its name. It is called by the 'Stic'Sticks'YukokYukokonaHeenahko-kon) or YukokYukokonr, and by the ChilChilkChilkatshere, meaning Sand River, from the immense number of sand bars and banks, which they say exists along its course."
