The third period of research of an internal part of Alaska has begun after sale of Alaska to America in 1867 At that time Internal Alaska, short of the districts which shooting was made by the cable company, and lower reaches of the pivotal rivers investigated by Russian, remained, in essence, absolutely unknown. However neither the government, nor the people of the United States did not show the big interest to Alaska. In 1869 the government of the USA has sent upwards across Yukon captain Rejmonda to fix the rights of new owners and to put an end to claims of English company Gudsonova of a gulf. After that it has been made it is not enough, up to that moment when I.Petrov has published the remarkable description of Alaska in the appendix to ' to the Report under the tenth qualification of the USA '. According to the Brooks, I.Petrov, ' apparently, the first has received clear representation about an arrangement of mountain chains of Alaska '. In 1883 lieutenant F. Shvatka has passed through mountain pass CHilkut and there was to the river Lewis. There it has constructed to itself(himself) a raft on which Lewis and d:: lee has gone down on the river, but to Yukon to the sea. Accompanying it Homen has made the first shooting of two these rivers. Two years after other officer, the lieutenant X. T.Allei, has crossed Alaska from the south on the north, following the first 500 km on the river Copper, and then across Tanana before its merge to Yukon. It has gone down across Yukon, has turned on the north to the river Kojukuk and investigated this river in the opposite direction to Yukon, whence has passed a land to Norton's gulf. Allen's work differed high quality and ' remained one of the most remarkable in history of research of Alaska ' (Brooks).

The area of Kotzebue sound was intensively investigated in 1883-1886. V.L.Howard was the first European who has crossed the Arctic Alaska from this gulf to point Barrow.
