Mc Gillivray Creek (British Columbia)

McGillivray Creek is a creek located in the Interior of British Columbia, in the Lillooet Country.

The creek originates in the Cadwallader Ranges, below Prospector Peaks, and flows southeast into Anderson Lake near D'Arcy, which is about midway between Pemberton and Lillooet along the rail line.

It originates at an elevation of 2,100 m (6,900 ft), while the mouth lies at an elevation of 270 m (890 ft). McGillivray Falls, on the lower reaches of the creek, is a notable waterfall in the district and is the namesake of the one-time railway-lakeside resort, McGillivray Falls, British Columbia, which is located at trackside around the creek's mouth. During World War II, this was one of four communities in the Lillooet Country which were "self-supporting" centres for Japanese-Canadians ordered away from the Coast.

    The only law was that enforced by the Creek Lighthorsemen and the U.S. deputy marshals who paid rare and brief visits; or the “two volumes of common law” that every man carried strapped to his thighs.
