Walkout Creek is a tributary of Raspberry Creek , which in turn is a tributary of Mess Creek , part of the Stikine River watershed in northwest part of the province of British Columbia , Canada. It flows generally west for roughly 12 km (7.5 mi) to join Raspberry Creek about 5 km (3.1 mi) east-southeast of Raspberry Creek's confluence with Mess Creek. Walkout Creek's watershed covers 80.9 km (31.2 sq mi) and its mean annual discharge is estimated at 2.26 m/s (80 cu ft/s). The mouth of Walkout Creek is located about 44 km (27 mi) southeast of Telegraph Creek , about 38 km (24 mi) southwest of Iskut and about 108 km (67 mi) south-southwest of Dease Lake . Walkout Creek's watershed's land cover is classified as 34.2% barren , 25.1% shrubland , 21.5% herbaceous , 17.7% conifer forest , and small amounts of other cover.
4-591: Walkout Creek is in Mount Edziza Provincial Park which lies within the traditional territory of the Tahltan people. Walkout Creek originates at the eastern end of a valley south of Mount Edziza . From its source near Tadeda Peak , Walkout Creek flows about 6 km (3.7 mi) northwest through the valley to the southern edge of the high and relatively barren Big Raven Plateau . It then flows about 5 km (3.1 mi) southwest between
8-667: The Mess Creek Escarpment to join Raspberry Creek. Walkout Creek's only named tributary, Flyin Creek , is about 2.5 km (1.6 mi) east of Walkout Creek's confluence with Raspberry Creek. It is about 7 km (4.3 mi) long and flows northwest into Walkout Creek from near Cache Hill . Lying within the valley of Walkout Creek are the Walkout Creek centres. These are two small cinder cones in
12-548: The landslide. The Walkout Creek centres and their associated lava flows are assigned to the Big Raven Formation , the youngest geological formation of the Mount Edziza volcanic complex. In 1954, a bush pilot from Atlin named Herman Peterson flew into the narrow valley of Walkout Creek under a low overcast . Mistaking it for Raspberry Pass , Peterson was unable to turn out of the valley and crashed into
16-556: The middle of the Mount Edziza volcanic complex , which consists of a linear group of volcanoes on the Tahltan Highland . The largest cone is about 120 m (390 ft) high and was constructed on top of a slow moving landslide originating from the northern side of Walkout Creek valley. Both cones have been deeply dissected, the larger cone having been segmented into arcuate, step-like slices from continued movement of
