Council, Alaska

Council (Inupiaq: Kaułiq or Akauchak) is an abandoned townsite in the Nome Census Area in the U.S. state of Alaska.

During the summer, Council is used as a fish camp and a recreational location for residents of Nome and White Mountain.

There are several mine buildings on the site, including a powerhouse with a moderate diameter Pelton (undershot) waterwheel.

Utility poles remain in place with wires connecting to a defunct power plant from the same period.

It did not appear again until 1990 when it was classified an Alaska Native Village Statistical Area (ANVSA).
