Teller is a village located on a spit between Port Clarence and Grantley Harbor, 55 miles southeast of Cape Prince of Wales, Seward Peninsula. Marys Igloo is a village in the Kuzitrin River basin, 2 miles northwest of Marys Mountain and 40 miles southeast of Teller. Marys Igloo was the miners' name popularly applied to the Eskimo settlement at the head of steamboat navigation on the Kuzitrin River. At this place, goods were transferred to flat-bottomed river boats that were towed upstream to the gold fields along the Kougarok and Kuzitirin Rivers or to the railway at Lanes Landing. Marys Igloo Post Office was established in 1901 and closed in 1952. The population in 1910 was 141; the population in 1967 was 5.
