  • Appendix B Elk River Channel Analysis

    Appendix B Elk River Channel Analysis

    Elk River Channel Analysis Setting The Elk River is located in the Rocky Mountains in south eastern British Columbia (Figure 1). The upper river drains a pair of small glacier-fed lakes (Upper and Lower Elk Lakes) that are situated at approximately 1720 and 1750 m elevation. From Lower Elk Lake, the river flows south and southwest for a distance of 170 km before draining into Lake Koocanusa at an elevation of 748 m. The shifts between south and southwest valley alignment are controlled by regional geologic structure (Holland 1976). The watershed area of Elk River is 4450 km2. The largest tributary sub-basins are Fording River (620 km2), Michel Creek (646 km2), and Wigwam River (737 km2). The central part of the Elk River watershed consists of a geologic feature known as Fernie Basin (Holland 1976). Fernie Basin is a coal-bearing unit of sedimentary rocks (where “basin” refers to an ancient depositional environment). The contemporary topography of Fernie Basin consists of the central 100 km of the Elk River valley with its coal-bearing ridges on either side of the valley upstream of Sparwood and the broad upland to the east of Elk River downstream of Sparwood. The ridges and uplands of Fernie Basin are characterized by moderate slopes, except for locally steeper slopes along deeply incised tributaries of Elk River, Fording River, and Michel Creek. Maximum elevations on the ridges and uplands are around 1800 to 2200 m, whereas the Elk River valley bottom lies at 950 to 1400 m elevation in this section. Flanking Fernie Basin to the east and west are the Front Ranges of the Rocky Mountains.

    Glaciers of the Canadian Rockies

    Glaciers of North America— GLACIERS OF CANADA GLACIERS OF THE CANADIAN ROCKIES By C. SIMON L. OMMANNEY SATELLITE IMAGE ATLAS OF GLACIERS OF THE WORLD Edited by RICHARD S. WILLIAMS, Jr., and JANE G. FERRIGNO U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY PROFESSIONAL PAPER 1386–J–1 The Rocky Mountains of Canada include four distinct ranges from the U.S. border to northern British Columbia: Border, Continental, Hart, and Muskwa Ranges. They cover about 170,000 km2, are about 150 km wide, and have an estimated glacierized area of 38,613 km2. Mount Robson, at 3,954 m, is the highest peak. Glaciers range in size from ice fields, with major outlet glaciers, to glacierets. Small mountain-type glaciers in cirques, niches, and ice aprons are scattered throughout the ranges.
