The Craig River is a transboundary river tributary of the Iskut River in Southeast Alaska, United States, and the northwest part of the province of British Columbia, Canada.[1][7][8] Originating in Alaska, where it is sometimes called the South Fork Craig River,[9] the Craig flows into British Columbia, generally in a northeast then northwest direction for about 50 km (31 mi)[5] to join the Iskut River about 2 km (1.2 mi) east of the confluence of the Iskut and Hoodoo River.[10] Its main tributary is the Jekill River.[11]
The Craig River's watershed covers 737 km2 (285 sq mi),[6] and its mean annual discharge is 69.3 m3/s (2,450 cu ft/s).[6] The river's watershed's land cover is classified as 30.4% snow/glacier, 30.3% conifer forest, 17.5% barren, 12.6% shrubland, and small amounts of other cover.[6] The Alaska portion of the watershed is contained within Tongass National Forest. In British Columbia the Craig Headwaters Protected Area provides a corridor about 5 km (3.1 mi) wide around the Craig River from the Alaskan border to the Jekill River confluence.[12][13]
The mouth of the Craig River is located about 70 km (43 mi) east-northeast of Wrangell, Alaska, about 118 km (73 mi) northwest of Stewart, British Columbia, and about 135 km (84 mi) south of Telegraph Creek, British Columbia.
The Craig River was named after the Canadian surveyor John Davidson Craig.[1]
The Craig River is in the traditional territory of the Tlingit, specifically the Shtax'héen Ḵwáan, commonly known as the Stikine River people.[14][15] It is also in the asserted traditional territory of the Tahltan First Nation.[13]
