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
site of village, at E end of Iliamna Lake, on N bank of Iliamna River, 30 mi. E of Iliamna, Aleutian Range
Eskimo village reported by Ivan Petroff as "Ilyamna" in the 10th Census in 1880 (1884, p. 17). This site became known as "Old Iliamna" about 1935 after the people moved to a new location. Captain Tebenkov (1852, map 5), Imperial Russian Navy (IRN), recorded the name "Odinochka", which is derived from "odinochnyy," meaning "isolated" or, possibly, "lone house."
