History of Lake Todatonten

Koyukuk Indian name reported in 1885 by Lieutenant Allen (1887, p. 96), USA, as "Tatatontly Lake." His map however, showed "Mentanontlekakat Lake," obviously a cartographers error, for he writes "The outlet of this lake has th e euphoneous name of "Mentanontlekakat." The ending '-kakat' means "mouth of." "The present spelling of the name was reported by Orth in 1956.
