Anchorage man working to correct offensive creek name in Alaska
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) – We all use them. The maps on our phones. They are very helpful when the information is correct. Frustrating when it’s wrong.
Michael Livingston of Anchorage likes to relax by exploring the maps for Alaska. When he comes across an error or missing bit of information, he fixes it.
Recently, he made a discovery that was left over from World War II — a creek on one of Alaska’s Aleutian Islands with an offensive name.
Now he is on a mission to change it.
