Norton Bay

[1] The streams joining the north shore of the bay are Kvingak, Kwik, Kwiniuk,[7] and also Tubutulik River (an Inuktitut name given in 1849 by Temenkof).

[8] The inference, based on field studies, is that the Nulato-Norton Bay region evolved during the Cretaceous period.

[12] The National Historic Landmark Iyatayet site is located on the northwest shore of Cape Denbigh on Norton Bay.

[2] The Norton Bay Nature Reserve was established in 1917 covering an area of about 350,000 acres (140,000 ha) for use by the US Bureau of Education and the Natives of the Indigenous Alaskan race.

This area has the burial grounds of a large number of Eskimo natives who died due to epidemic diseases.
