What the record shows
The federal survey describes the site: on right bank of Kuskokwim River near Aniak
"Former Eskimo village or camp reported in 1842-44 by Lieutenant L. A. Zagoskin, Imperial Russian Navy (IRN), and published in 1861 by P. Tikhmeniev as ""Tulukaenagamyut."" Ivan Petroff, in the 1880 Census, shows ""Toolooka-anahamute"" and ""Toolukaanahamute"" with a population of 59. The 1890 Census lists ""Tulukagnagamiut"" with 17 inhabitants. The name may mean ""raven people."""
Tulukaappears 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.
