Английская Википедия:Hackett River
Шаблон:Infobox river The Hackett River is a tributary of the Sheslay River in northwest part of the province of British Columbia, Canada.[1] It flows generally northwest about Шаблон:Convert,[2] through two lakes, a wetland, and a gorge, to join the Sheslay River, which in turn is a tributary of the Inklin River, the main southeast fork of the Taku River.
The Hackett River's watershed covers Шаблон:Convert,[3] and its estimated mean annual discharge is Шаблон:Convert.[3] The mouth of the Hackett River is located about Шаблон:Convert northwest of Telegraph Creek, British Columbia, about Шаблон:Convert east of Juneau, Alaska, and about Шаблон:Convert southeast of Whitehorse, Yukon. The Hackett River's watershed's land cover is classified as 35.2% conifer forest, 30.5% shrubland, 11.8% mixed forest, 11.6% barren, 5.4% herbaceous, and small amounts of other cover.[3]
The Hackett River is in the traditional territory of the Tahltan people.[4]
Geography
The Hackett River originates with several small streams flowing into Kennicott Lake, on the south side of Level Mountain on the Nahlin Plateau.[5] From its source, near Hyland Ranch,[6] the river flows northwest through the Tahltan Highland for about Шаблон:Convert.[2] It first flows to Hatchau Lake,[7] then through the Salmon Creek 3 Indian reserve,[8] of the Tahltan First Nation, part of the Tahltan people.[9]
Continuing northwest between Level Mountain and Kaketsa Mountain,[10] the Hackett River flows through a wetland then through a gorge. Along the way it is joined by Stone Creek,[11] Copper Creek,[12] Pyrrhotite Creek,[13] and Egnell Creek,[14] before joining the Sheslay River. The Egnell telegraph station was located at the mouth of Egnell Creek, not far from the mouth of the Hackett River.[15] The locality of Sheslay is located at its confluence with the river of that name.[16][17]
History
The historic Yukon Telegraph Trail follows the Hackett River, running northwest from Saloon[18] on the upper Little Tahltan River[19] to Hyland Ranch on the upper Hackett, and on to Egnell and Sheslay near the mouth of the Hackett River.[20][17]
