content: Ledger book entry catalogs this as from "Kuslevak River" (later transcribes into database as "Kuslivak River"). Orth's Dictionary of Alaska Place Names does not have an entry for this river, so it appears to be incorrect. It is likely "Kusilvak" which is a "locality" [region / area] meaning "at mouth of the Yukon River" or "one of outer islands of the Yukon Delta".
