Mess Creek Escarpment information


The Mess Creek Escarpment is an escarpment in northwestern British Columbia, Canada, located on the east side of Mess Creek below Mess Lake and southeast of Telegraph Creek.[1] It forms the central-western flank of the Mount Edziza volcanic complex, exposing several layers of black columnar basaltic lava flows with distal rock fragments and pyroclastic rock deposits.

The Mess Creek Escarpment was named on January 2, 1980, by the Geological Survey of Canada in association with Mess Creek.[1]
