Flambeau River (Alaska)

Flambeau River is a waterway on the Seward Peninsula in the U.S. state of Alaska. It has a broad, basin-shaped valley,[1] and terminates as a tributary to Safety Sound. Its name is first recorded by Edward Chester Barnard of the United States Geological Survey (1900).[2] The nearby gold prospect deposit site, "Flambeau River", is named after the waterway.[3]
