Getting To Susitna River

History of Susitna River

Tanaina Indian name meaning "sandy river" published by the Russian Hydrographic Dept. as "R(eka) Sushitna," meaning "Sushitna River," on Chart 1378 dated 1847. The river appears to have been first explored in 1834, by a " creole named Malakov," and the name may have been obtained by the Russians at that time (Dall, 1870, p.12,273). The present spelling of the name has evolved due to euphemistic reasons.
