between Meade River and Shaningarok Creek, 80 mi. SE. of Wainwright, Arctic Slope.
Eskimo name published by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 1956. This name was originally shown applied to what is now the Meade River on a manuscript map referred to as Cullinghow's map of Cape Lisburne, done by an Eskimo about 1890. Lieutenant P. H. Ray (1885, p. 55), USA, shows Kulugrua for the Meade River.
