Level Mountain
Level Mountain is a massive shield volcano in Cassiar Country, northwestern British Columbia, Canada, located just southeast of Callison Ranch, southwest of Dease Lake and about north of Mount Edziza. It lies on the Nahlin Plateau, comprising a series of buttes and ridges. The shield is lightly glaciated, as compared to the Coast Mountains just to the west. The only named summit of Level Mountain is Meszah Peak on the north side of the shield with an elevation of , making it the highest point of Level Mountain.〔 Immediately to the west, however, are the Heart Peaks, a related volcanic range just east of the Sheslay River, which is the edge of the Nahlin Plateau.
Level Mountain rises above adjacent forested lowlands and undulating alpine areas surround the steeper central peaks. Streams that originate from these peaks drain across the Nahlin Plateau.
==Biology==
Level Mountain contains a large variety of species. In 1978, more than 400 caribou were estimated on Level Mountain but the herd was thought to be decreasing because of poor recruitment. Calf percentages averaged less than 10%. Approximately 350 caribou were counted in 1980, but only half that number were actually estimated. Wolf density was estimated at about 1/100 km2, and was thought to be similar to the initial density of the long Horseranch Range to the northeast. Wolf predation is considered to be an instrumental factor in producing the current pattern of caribou habitat use. Wolves were most commonly observed in 1980 in the valleys, but mountainous areas were also used for denning and hunting. Grizzly bears were also common in the mountainous portions of the Level Mountain Range and are potentially significant predators of young caribou calves. Other hoofed mammals included mountain goat, Dall Sheep, and moose.
