History
Eskimo name which was reported by Leffingwell (1919, p. 99) to mean "a spring." Leffingwell wrote, "There are two springs which deserve mention. The larger one by report is the Shublik Spring, at the west end of Shublik Mountains, * * *. Several large springs gush out of the lower slope of the mountain, at an elevation of about 400 feet above the river, and gather together into a foaming torrent that cannot be crossed on foot" (p. 58-59). Diamond Jenness spells the name "Sublik."
