History of Snake River

Local name reported in 1899 by D. C. Witherspoon, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS); published in 1900 on U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS) Chart 9380 and by Schrader and Brooks (1900, map 2). So named in 1898 because of its serpentine-like course by the three men who found gold in the area: John Brynteson, E. O. Lindblom, and Jafet Lindeberg (Rickard, 1909, p. 332).
