<p>Chititu Creek flows northwest 7 miles to Nizina River, 9 miles southeast of McCarthy.  This Indian name was reported in 1885 to mean "copper water."  It was so named because of its dark brown (or copper) color.  [Source:  Donald Orth.  Dictionary of Alaska Place Names: Geological Survey Professional Paper 567.
