Kiwalik River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kiwalik River is a river found on western Alaska's Seward Peninsula.[1] The headwaters of the river originate in the eastern portion of the peninsula, around Granite Mountain. The river flows north to its mouth at Kiwalik Lagoon, Chukchi Sea. The turn of the century mining town of Candle is found on its western bank at the confluence of Candle Creek.
Inuit name published by the British Admiralty about 1880 on Chart 593, spelled "Kee-wa-lik."
