The Boundary Ranges, also known in the singular and as the Alaska Boundary Range, are the largest and most northerly subrange of the Coast Mountains. They begin at the Nass River, near the southern end of the Alaska Panhandle in the Canadian province of British Columbia and run to the Kelsall River, near the Chilkoot Pass, beyond which are the Alsek Ranges of the Saint Elias Mountains, and northwards into the Yukon Territory flanking the west side of the Yukon River drainage as far as Champagne Pass, north of which being the Yukon Ranges. To their east are the Skeena Mountains and Stikine Plateau of the Interior Mountains complex that lies northwest of the Interior Plateau; the immediately adjoining subregion of the Stikine Plateau is the Tahltan Highland. To their northeast is the Tagish Highland, which is a subregion of the Yukon Plateau. Both highlands are considered in some descriptions as included in the Coast Mountains. The Alexander Archipelago lies offshore and is entirely within Alaska.
Chutine Peak is one of the highest mountains in the Boundary Ranges, a group of subranges of the northern Coast Mountains of British Columbia and Alaska. Chutine Peak lies just east of the Stikine Icecap, and to the north and west of the Stikine River, and south of the basin of the Whiting River. It is notable for its huge west face: the drop to Chutine Lake is 2,600 m (8,530 ft) in 3.5 km (2 mi). Due to its remoteness, however, it is rarely visited.

It is the highest peak in the Stikine Icecap and of the Boundary Ranges which in turn form part of the Coast Mountains. It is an extremely high-prominence summit, with a difference in elevation with its "key col" at Hyland Ranch Pass of 2,430 m (7,972 ft). Thus making it one of Canada's Ultra peaks.

The river crosses the international boundary at 49°00′00″N120°19′37″W and transits Cathedral Provincial Park. It has one main tributary, Ewart Creek, which is about 25 kilometres (16 mi) long and begins virtually at the border and is entirely within Cathedral Park.
The Boundary Range, formerly known as the Boundary Mountains, is a subrange of the similarly named but much larger Boundary Ranges which run most of the length of the border between British Columbia, Canada, and Alaska, United States. The range lies west of the lower Stikine River between the Mud (S) and Flood Glaciers (N).
Mount Nesselrode, also known as Boundary Peak 98, 2,474 metres (8,117 ft) prominence: 924 m (3,031 ft), is a peak in the Boundary Ranges of the Coast Mountains, located on and in part defining the border between British Columbia, Canada and Alaska, United States.

Mount Pereleshin, originally Pereleshin Mountain, 2019 m (6624 ft) prominence: 749 m, is a summit in the Boundary Ranges in the area of the lower Stikine River in northwestern British Columbia, Canada. Located southeast of the junction of the Scud and Stikine Rivers, its original name was officially adopted in Canada in 1924 but changed to its current form in 1954 in accordance with national naming standards. Once considered part of the United States claim in this region, it was first cited in 1906 in the Coast Survey by Baker (p. 494) and was misattributed as being of native origin, with alternate spelling Peerleshin, but the name is that of a Russian Navy Lieutenant Pereleshin who had been sent to the area by Rear-Admiral Andrei Alexandrovich Popov to investigate whether Russian interests in the area had been impacted by gold-mining activity from the recent Stikine Gold Rush of 1861-1862. Pereleshin's entrance to the region was in the company of American professor and geologist William P. Blake, who accompanied Pereleshin's expedition and whose journal is the only record of the journey. The party camped on its sixth night near the Flood Glacier, which Pereleshin reckoned to be at the extreme of Russian territorial claims and from there returned to the coast. Pereleshin Mountain first appears on Blake's 1868 map, published with his "Geographical Notes upon Russian America and the Stickeen River."
The Tuya River is a major tributary of the Stikine River in far northwestern British Columbia, Canada.

Its main tributary is the Little Tuya River.
The Stikine Region is an unincorporated area in northwesternmost British Columbia, Canada and is the only area in B.C. not in a regional district. The Stikine Region was left unincorporated following legislation that established the province's regional districts in 1968 and is not classified as a regional district. It contains no municipal governments which normally constitute the majority of seats on the boards of regional districts. There is only one local planning area, the Atlin Community Planning Area, which was combined in 2009 with the Atlin Community Improvement District to provide fire, landfill, water, streetlighting, sidewalks and advisory land use services. All other services not provided privately are administered directly by various provincial government ministries. The area around Dease Lake, formerly in the Stikine Region, is now within the boundaries of the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine following a boundary amendment in 2008.
The Tasakili River is a tributary of the Stikine River, flowing southeast out of the Boundary Ranges on the United States side of the range to join that river in Canada, just before the Stikine transits the Alaska-British Columbia border.
