History
In 1838, Amatusuk Hills was noted in A.F. Kashevarov's Coastal Explorations in Northwest Alaska as "the last elevation of note that a coastal traveller heading north will see in northwest Alaska".[5]
In 1920, Archdeacon Stuck published the name as 'Amahk-too-sook'.[6] It has been variously spelled as: Amahtooscok Mountain, Amatosuk Hills, Amatusak Hills, and Amooktoosuk Hills.[7]
The inland area is known for hunting, fishing, and fur trapping.[8] The Inupiat residents of Point Lay used the rivers as navigational points, but only during bad weather.[9] The Kukpowruk River is used as a reference point to the trapping regions when the coastal area is impassable during bad weather.[9]
