I received. several requests to have the comment period for the proposed geographic name
Reds Creels in the City of Kenai extended. Public support for a name is very important to
the members of the Alaska Historical Commissian; the state review board.. As a result,
the proposal will not be considered. at the tneeting scheduled for February I9, 2009. The
comment period has been. extended to March 15, 2009, and the proposal will be
considered at the subsequent meeting of the Alaska Historical Commission.
If you have any questions about the geographic names program or the Reds Creek
proposal please contact me at 907-269-8714 or email io.antonsnnnalaslca aov.

The name proposed is, in part, for GletzRex "Red" McCollum Sn, a long time Kenai resident who died January 3, 2002
McCollum moved to Kenai in May 1959. He drilled some of the first producing wells in the Swanson River oil field, for aver
20 years had a roustabout company, and was a commercial fisherman. He served on the Kenai Harbor Commission. The
name proposed also recognizes the red salmon that return to Kenai Peninsula svean~s every year, althour* the creek is coho
salmon habstat. The proposer indicates the neighborhood. bordering the creek would like to "adopt" it and work with the
Kenai Watershed Porum to protect and reolamit. The creels is shown on the Kenai Watershed Farutn map as Maps Creek, as
acrarytn derived from the first letters of severalneighborlroodstreets: Magic, Aliak, Princess, and Spur. The proposer
indicates the neighborhood would Iike a more endearing name for the creels, and she has spoken with a representative of the
Kenai Watershed Farmn about the proposed Hama.

Is there local opposition fo, or conflict with the recommended name (as located}?
The name appears as Maps Creek on Kenai Watershed Farutn maps.

identified in DeLorme Mapping's Alaska Atlas & Ga__>etleer (1998). The proposed name is not listed in Schotr's Alaska Place
