The Finlay River, the main headwater of the Peace River, is regarded as the ultimate source of the Mackenzie River. The combined Finlay–Peace–Slave–Mackenzie river system is the 13th longest river system in the world.

Crab Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of Washington. Named for the presence of crayfish, it is one of the few perennial streams in the Columbia Basin of central Washington, flowing from the northeastern Columbia River Plateau, roughly 5 km (3.1 mi) east of Reardan, west-southwest to empty into the Columbia River near the small town of Beverly. Its course exhibits many examples of the erosive powers of extremely large glacial Missoula Floods of the late Pleistocene, which scoured the region. In addition, Crab Creek and its region have been transformed by the large-scale irrigation of the Bureau of Reclamation's Columbia Basin Project (CBP), which has raised water table levels, significantly extending the length of Crab Creek and created new lakes and streams.

The locality of Hinton Trail, about 40 km south-west of Grande Prairie, developed at the north end of the Hinton Trail which ran from Jasper to Hinton, and then on to "the grande prairie". From Hinton, the trail followed Nose Creek north up to the Wapiti River, crossing it and heading overland to the Redwillow River about a half mile west of where the first Hinton Trail Post Office was set up in the home of Stan Ronksley on the NW quarter of section 5, township 70, range 10, west of the 6th meridian. The Ronksley home was across from Craigellachie School, a one-room log school built in 1922. The school also served as the community gathering place until the Hinton Trail Hall was built in 1947. The school closed in 1948, and the post office in 1968. The Hinton Trail Hall and a marker showing where the Hinton Trail crossed through the area about ½ mile east of the hall still mark this locality. Information on the people who lived in the Hinton Trail district can be found in Beaverlodge to the Rockies and its Supplement.
