History of Bergman Creek

Local name obtained at Hughes and Allakaket by Orth in 1956; named for the settlement of Bergman that formerly existed at the stream's mouth. It was earlier known as "Pickarts Creek," as shown on an 1899 fieldsheet by T. C. Gerdine, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Pickart (Frank?) was one member of the firm of Pickarts, Bettles, and Pickarts, owners of the trading post at Bergman in 1899.
