Telegraph Creek is a small community located off
Highway 37 in Northern
British Columbia at the confluence of the
Stikine River and Telegraph Creek. The only permanent settlement on the
Stikine River, it is home to approximately 250 members of Tahltan First Nation and non-native residents. The town offers basic services, including Anglican and Catholic churches, a general store, a post office, a clinic with several nurses on-call around the clock, two
Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers, and a k-9 school. Steep river banks and rocky gorges form the terraced nature of the geography.
