History

This headwater stream of the Nenana River carries the residual name of that river or "Cantwell River." The name "Cantwell River" as a separate entity was shown on a 1914 railroad survey map, although a year later U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) gave local usage as "Half Moon Creek." In 1923 S. R. Capps, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), cited local usage as "Cantwell Creek."
