Alaska Panhandle
in the
Canadian province
of
British Columbia
and run to the
Kelsall River
, near the
Chilkoot Pass
, beyond which are the
Alsek Ranges
of the
Saint Elias Mountains
, and northwards into the
Yukon Territory
flanking the west side of the
Yukon River
drainage as far as
Champagne Pass
, north of which being the
Yukon Ranges
. To their east are the
Skeena Mountains
and
Stikine Plateau
of the
Interior Mountains
complex that lies northwest of the
