Edson River
The Edson River is a minor river in west-central Alberta, Canada. The river, like the nearby town of Edson, is named for Edson Joseph Chamberlin (1852–1924), a Vice-President and General Manager of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. Chamberlain also acted as the President of the Grand Trunk Railway.〔Harrison, Tracey, ''Place Names of Alberta, Volume III: Central Alberta''. Calgary: University of Calgary Press, (1994), pg. 81〕 ==Course== The Edson flows east south-east from its origin in the hills north of Highway 16. It takes on a number of small creeks, and is bridged by the Emerson Lake Haul Road, a multi-use road originally developed by the oil and gas industry. The Edson is bridged twice by Alberta Highway 748 before flowing in to the Mcleod River near Wolf Creek, Alberta.
