Chilcotin Plateau
The
Chilcotin Plateau
is part of the
Fraser Plateau
, a major subdivision of the
Interior Plateau
of
British Columbia
. The Chilcotin Plateau is physically near-identical with the region of the same name, i.e.
"the Chilcotin"
, which lies between the
Fraser River
and the southern
Coast Mountains
and is defined by the basin of the
Chilcotin River
and so includes montane areas beyond the plateau. East of the Chilcotin Plateau, across the
Fraser River
, is the
Cariboo Plateau
, while to the north beyond the
West Road (Blackwater) River
is the
Nechako Plateau
. West and south of the Chilcotin Plateau are various subdivisions of the
Coast Mountains
, including the
Chilcotin Ranges
which lie along the plateau's southwest.
