Peace River Country
The Peace River Country (or Peace Country) is an aspen parkland region around the Peace River in Canada. It spans from northwestern Alberta to the Rocky Mountains in northeastern British Columbia, where a certain portion of the region is also referred to as the Peace River Block.
== Geography ==
The Peace River Country〔Pettit, Donald A., (The Peace: An exploration in photographs ), 2001〕 includes the incorporated communities of Fort St. John, Dawson Creek,〔Clare, Gerald R., (Dawson Creek: An Illustrated History ), 2008〕 Tumbler Ridge and Chetwynd in British Columbia. Major communities in the Alberta portion of the Peace Country include Grande Prairie, Peace River, High Level and Fairview. It has no fixed boundaries but covers an area of approximately 100,000 miles² to 150,000 miles² (260,000 km² to 390,000 km²).〔Henry M. Leppard (January 1935). "The Settlement of the Peace River Country" ''Geographical Review'', Vol. 25, No. 1 , pp. 62-78〕
In British Columbia, the area extends from Monkman Provincial Park and Tumbler Ridge in the south, to Hudson's Hope and the Williston Lake in the west, to Fort St. John and Charlie Lake in the north. The term is used also in a broader sense to mean the whole of the Northeastern Interior past the Rockies, including Fort Nelson and other parts of the Liard drainage, and before W.A.C. Bennett Dam included the upper Peace River through its canyon between Finlay Forks and Hudson's Hope. In Alberta, the region stretches from Grande Prairie and Valleyview in the south, to High Prairie and Lesser Slave Lake in the east, to Fort Vermilion, High Level and Rainbow Lake in the north.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Peace Country Map )〕
