Information About

Interior Plateau





The Cariboo and Chilcotin Plateau s are separate by the Fraser River . The Nechako Plateau flanks the Fraser on both sides; its southern boundary is defined by the West Road River (aka the Blackwater River) and the Quesnel River , and its northern boundary are the Omineca Mountains and the Cassiar Mountains .

Several mountain ranges and hill-systems are included in the definition of this region. Among these are:


Some classifications systems assign the Pattullo Range to the Hazelton Mountains , which are part of the larger Skeena Mountains complex, but then theoretically also is the Quanchus Range. Also, the Cariboo Mountains are sometimes included as part of the Interior Plateau.

The continuation of the plateau into the United States is known there as the Columbia Plateau .
