Description: Between Flat Lake and Big Lake, 7.2 km (4.5 mi) W of the community of Big Lake, 22 mi. N of Anchorage, Cook Inlet  Low.
History: Named in 1958 by Mrs. Margaret Almdale Spenard because  "the former name 'Mud Lake' implies that the water is muddy, while it is  clear and has a sandy, rocky bottom. 'Mirror Lake' would be more appropriate  since the lake itself is small in size and reflects the trees surrounding the lake along the water's edge."

Description: In Takshanuk Mountains, 3.4 mi ENE of Klukwan and 15 mi. SW of Skagway, Coast Mountains.
History: Local name published in 1954 by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Name is derived from  a large deposit of magnetite iron ore discovered in the mountain about 1869.  The Tlingit name "Kahwateta Mountain," published in 1952 by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), according to E. C. Robertson, means "maiden hiding place" and was based on  the local Indian custom of sending the young girls of the Klukwan village at  the base of the mountain up to a glacial amphitheater near the top to hide, in order to appease the angry god of the mountain who, it was believed, caused the floods and mudflows which plagued the village during the fall  months.
