I just found a Loc image on
this page while looking for stuff on Ft Shepherd...."between Similkameen and Fort Shepherd" is where this is supposed to be, with no date given; I don't recognize the mountain but I don't know t eh area well; doesn't look like the Okanagan, I'm guess that hte refernece is to the Kettle or Granby valleys. If anyone here recognizes this mountain, or knows where "Nehoialpity valley" refers to please let me know. Just curious, collecting old/gone BC placenames is sort of a hobby....

Found it easily through the main BCGNIS page -
"Kettle River". BC Geographical Names. - click on the link there, to to the BCGNIS article and follow the link to their search page; anything that's too hard to find on Google, especially duplicate names/locations, that's the way to find them...the latlong in that should be where it crosses the border, though it might be rounded to then nearest minute...

I will be going camping near Rock Creek, a small communtity at the mouth of the real Rock Creek, this summer. Some of the nicest sections of the Kettle are near there including great swimming areas. I will definitely be taking some pictures while I'm there & chances are that at least one of them will find a home on this article. I also will try to get pictures of the
West Kettle River,
Granby River & the city of
Grand Forks. If I happen to pass by
Boundary Falls & have time to check it out a bit I may create an article for it with an image that I take. Should be a fun trip!

Note
Cascade Falls (Kettle River), also, which sounds like it has a little gorge to go with, and an old powerhouse. Also while you're at Rock Creek, somewhere there, on Rock Creek (the creek), I guess, is a place called Sailor Bar which was the focus of the
Rock Creek Gold Rush. Before you head up into that country I recommend you look for the Boundary Country volume of T.W. Pateron's Gold Trails and Ghost Towns series; or is that Gold Camps and Ghost Towns? I've forgotten; lots of interesting little places around there, and some great stories to go with various articles/stubs already kicking around....see
Anarchist Mountain,
Volcanic Brown,
Greenwood, and others in
Category:Boundary Country...I haven't written
Camp McKinney yet, been meaning to; it's up by the little ski hill
Mount Baldy Ski Area i think the article is, which is driveable and will have an outrageous view of the Oliver area of the South Okanagan and the mountains/highlands to its west....to the northeast there should be some views of the higher summits of the mid-Monashees to the east of Big White, and you should be able to see Big White from up there too, I think...

And PS the cafe in the Yale Hotel in Grand Forks used to have really, really good
borscht. Great on a hot day (cold beet soup with chunks of sour cream).

I don't think I will get to look at
Cascade Falls; I want to but I don't think I will get a chance. Now where is this Sailor Bar place in comparison to the mouth of Rock Creek? Depending on where it is, I may or may not get a chance to visit it. Now if I do, is there anything still there that I could take pictures of that would be good for Wikipedia? As you can see, I love to post pictures onto Wikipedia.
Anarchist Mountain won't be on the list (looks like it offers some awesome views of the
Okanagan Valley though) but
Greenwood, which will probably be on the way to Grand Forks, is. Also,
Midway could use another image & chances are, I will be passing through it on my way to Grand Forks. There is lots of history in this area indeed!
LOL that's 'cause of me....(look at the edit history)...As for Anarchist Mountain, it's actually more of a name for the community/region and for the climb up from Osoyoos; there is no mountain....so just a shot of teh rolling rangeland/farms in that area as you drive through it would work fine....I'll try and dig up specs on Sailor Bar, read it somewhere, even saw a map, will have to remember where, might even be in BCGNIS!

It does, but not by the Sailor Bar name, as there was a cairn erected - see
"Rock Creek (creek)". BC Geographical Names.. BCGNIS also has
"Rock Creek Provincial Park". BC Geographical Names. but there's nothing in the BC Parks page, maybe it's obsolete or Class C....if I come up with other details I'll let you know. One thing to bear in mind while visiting the Boundary Country is this was once one of the most populous, richest and most industrialized of all regions of British Columbia; like the Portland Canal, too actually....."poof" gone...
