Regarding the validity of the name Three Lakes, I think it's very clearly correct and as such, suitable for inclusion in OSM. There is a screenshot in my Dropbox and also this citation from the Dictionary of Alaska Place Names, Orth (1963):
Three Lakes: lakes, 4 mi. SW of Birch Creek (locality), 30 mi. SW of Fort Yukon, Yukon Flats; 66"13' N, 145"50f W; (map 119). Local name obtained in 1956 by USGS.
