History of Topkok Head

Local name reported in 1900 by Barnard (in brooks, 1901, pl. 17), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS) published "Cape Topkok" in 1900. The name is derived from the village reported as "Tupka-ak" by Petroff in the 10th Census in 1880. This appears to be the feature reported in 1842-44 as "M(ys) Utesistyy," meaning "cliffy cape," by Lieutenant L. A. Zagoskin, Imperial Russian Navy (IRN), and shown as "M(ys) Utes" by Captain Tebenkov (1852, map 2), Imperial Russian Navy (IRN).
