History

Eskimo name (kikiktak) meaning "island." Leffingwell (1919, p. 57) wrote, "This outlet valley was followed for a few miles, and the gathering stream could be stepped across at any place. Near the main river (Sadlerochit) the Lake Fork receives several feeders from east and west so that it carries a considerable volume of water."
