Description
Joe Guay Island is located formed by the anabranch Joe Guay Slough and the Yukon River, 1.5 mi. W of Beaver, Yukon Flats.
History
Locally named for Joseph Guay, a "sourdough" who had a cabin on the lower end of the island, according to a 1916 manuscript map by William Yanert (Stuck, 1917, map facing p. 122). This end of the island is now separated by "New Cutoff," a channel in the Yukon River.
