What the record shows

The federal survey describes the site: Located 1.5 mi. E of Lookout Mointain on N shore of Kakhonak Bay, 22 mi. SE of Lliamna, Aleutian Range.

Site of a former Eskimo village reported in 1951 by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Recent U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) maps indicate one building here.

Kakhonak Bayappears in the U.S. Geological Survey's place-name archive as a historical populated place — a settlement that once carried a name and no longer does. Our editors are verifying its full story against census records, newspaper archives, and county histories; this record will grow as sources are confirmed.

Before you visit

Unverified sites may sit on private land, and coordinates from historical records can be imprecise. Verify land status and access before traveling. Take photographs, leave nails — removing artifacts from federal land is a crime.
