History: | Named in 1890 by H. F. Reid (1892, pl. 14) for the valley in which the lake was located. Later he changed the name to Endicott Lake for the river which drained it. Reids map shows the lake at the terminus of Muir Glacier. Since 1900 the glacier has retreated 6 mi. to the N resulting in the lakes disappearance. The name Endicott Lake is now given to a small lake 2 mi. SW of the outlet of the original Lake. |
