Pitmegea River

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pitmegea River is a 42 mile long river in Alaska's North Slope. From the source in the De Long Mountains, the river flows northwest to the Chukchi Sea at Cape Sabine, 40 miles northwest of Mount Kelly, Arctic Slope.[1]

Its Inuit name (Pitmegeak) was obtained by John W. Kelly (or Kelley), prospector, who explored the stream in 1888, and published by Stockton (1890, p. 178).
