USGS GNIS Populated Place names in all 50 states and DC. Features in the historical extract or explicitly named historical are excluded; duplicate decision records with identical identities and coordinates are collapsed. GNIS points identify names, not legal or neighborhood boundaries, current occupancy, school attendance or a statistical population. Nearby Census places and tracts remain separately named geographies. Name completeness and currency vary; this is not a claim to include every locally used neighborhood name.

USGS description & history
on left bank of Kaviruk River, 1.5 mi. N of Marys Lake and 32 mi. E of Teller, Seward Peninsula High.
A. h. Brooks (in Collier and others, 1908, p. 308), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), noted that up to 1906 the Kougarok gold mining district could only be reached by two long or circuitous routes. Brooks added: J. M. Davidson and Andrew J. Stone, who are among the largest operators in the district, have established a transshipping point on Kaviruk (Marys) River called Davidson Landing and have built a road from that point to the upper Kougarok region, a distance of 40 miles. Small lighters can be towed directly from the ships side at Port Clarence to Davidson Landing, so that at least one handling of freight is avoided. A post office of Davidson was established in 1906 and was discontinued the following year (Ricks, 1965, p. 16); probably at this site.
