Nechako Plateau
The
Nechako Plateau
is the northernmost subdivision of the
Interior Plateau
, one of the main geographic regions of the
Canadian province
of
British Columbia
. It spans the basin of the
Nechako River
and its tributaries the
Stuart River
and Endako Rivers, and is bounded on the south by the
West Road River
(Blackwater River), south of which is the
Chilcotin Plateau
and on the north by the
Nation River
and the valleys of
Babine
and
Takla Lakes
, beyond which are the
Omineca Mountains
(N) and
Skeena Mountains
(NW). To the west, it abuts the various ranges of the
Hazelton Mountains
while on its east it is bounded by the pass between
Prince George, British Columbia
and the Parsnip Arm of
Williston Lake
, beyond which is the
McGregor Plateau
, which skirts the
Northern Rockies
. Some classification systems include the plateau area on the east bank of the Fraser River beyond the city of Prince George; this area neighbours the northernmost reaches of the
Quesnel Highland
and
Cariboo Mountains
.
