Zagoskin, Imperial Russian Navy (IRN), as ""Khotylkakat"" or ""mouth of the Khotyl;"" applied to a camp or a village at the stream's mouth.

Lieutenant Allen (1887, p. 105-106), USA, recorded the name as ""Koteelkakat"" in 1885. Allen wrote ""below the junction (of the Kateel and Koyukuk) is the site of the station established shortly after the transfer of the Territory * * *. This is the highest point reached on the Koyukuk by Lieutenant Zagoskin, of the Russian Navy, in the winter of 1842, though he ascended the Koteelkakat to latitude 6535.""" |
