Lake to run down Sutherland Valley, which can also be
reached by the Burns Lake-Donald Landing Road and boat
on Babine Lake, or via the Stuart-Babine Portage Road.
Ormonde Creek drains from hill country west of head of
Sutherland River, with Gandar Lake, surrounded by hills,
at head, and flows through Ormonde and Oonabunket
Lakes southward to Fraser Lake. The outlet of the
Sutherland is at the head of Babine Lake.

Some good bottom land, not over 2 miles wide, is found
in Sutherland Valley at 2,350 feet, and is surveyed.
Patches of timber alternate with burnt areas, many mea-
dows, and on adjoining slopes are open patches where
peavine grows thick. Some pre-emptors have cabins with
small clearings. Sutherland River, 40 feet wide, navigable
for small boats and canoes, if cleared of beaver-dams and
log-jams would allow log-driving. To eastward is hill
country with peaks 4,500 to 6,000 feet, Shass Mountain
being highest point in this part of the region. Creeks are
swift, with canyons, cascades, and falls. Camsell and
Tomas Lakes, surrounded by hills, drain to Sutherland
River, and Grassham and Ogston, in similar country to
eastward, by Camsell Creek to Stuart Lake. Hill and
mountain country reaches westward from Sutherland River
to foot-hills of Babine Range.

PINCH! AND TEZZERON LAKES.

East of Stuart Lake to near Pinchi Creek broken lime-
stone hills form divide to Pinchi Lake and Ocock River,
with summits at 3,580 to 4,200 feet. Mount Pope, a
landmark near Fort St. James, and Mount Murray domi-
nate. In early years fur-traders made lime near lower
slope of Mount Pope. Other than one or two isolated
lake-front areas no surveys are made to within a mile of
Pinchi Creek, 6 miles long, swift, with fall of 18 feet 4
miles from Stuart Lake. Some small, limited flats occur
near Pinchi Lake, but greater part, excepting vicinity of
Pinchi Creek, where there is a fairly wide valley, and at
the east, where Ocock River enters, is broken, with low
rocky hills.

Some good land occurs near Ocock River, with wide
valley and extensive meadows in lower part. Ocock River
heads in hills north of Carrier Lake, running south to that
lake, and thence west and north-west to Pinchi Lake.
A low rolling divide separates Carrier and Great Beaver
Lakes, latter draining to Salmon River. Tsilcoh River,
heading in hills to north-east, drains south-west to Pinchi
Lake. Part of the surveyed area, reaching east to 3 miles
from Carrier Lake, west to Pinchi Lake, and north and
south across Ocock and Tsilcoh Rivers north to Yatzutzin
Lake, is broken by ridges and low hills, but considerable
good land occurs in intervening valleys and depressions.
At east of the surveys, between branches of Tsilcoh River,
is a muskeg, drainable.
