Ahtna name makes official review list

A proposal for a new official place name based on an Ahtna name is currently under consideration by the USGS Board of Geographic Names. The name Nen' Yese' Ridge appears on the quarterly review list #406. This name was approved by the Alaska Historical Commission at its meeting in November 2010. Unless someone voices opposition to this proposal (unlikely, given that it currently has no official name and is referred to locally as Nen Yese) this name is likely to become official within the year.
