Nigikmigoon River Explained

Nigikmigoon River is a stream in the U.S. state of Alaska.^[1] It is a tributary to the Inglutalik River where Coho salmon spawn and Dolly Varden also live and spawn.^[2] The remains of an old gold mine lie along the river's east bank.^[3] That gold mine still carries the former name of the watercourse, having been called Negromoon Creek.^[4] Small quantities of gold were found there, but not enough to make mining worthwhile.^[5]
