History of Nation Reef

Local name published in 1956 by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The generic "reef" may refer to rock stratum that extends into or across the Yukon River at this point and may be the same stratum that J. B. Mertie, Jr., U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), called "Rock of Ages" in 1937.
