Nigikmigoon River

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]
