Group of mountain ranges and mountainous plateaus in British Columbia, Canada

The **Stikine Ranges** are a group of [mountain ranges](/source/Mountain_range) and mountainous [plateaus](/source/Plateau) in northwestern [British Columbia](/source/British_Columbia), [Canada](/source/Canada). They are the northernmost subdivision of the [Cassiar Mountains](/source/Cassiar_Mountains)[1][2] and among the least explored and most undeveloped parts of the province.

The [Sifton Ranges](/source/Sifton_Ranges), which are also part of the Cassiar Mountains, lie immediately east of the Stikine Ranges just north of the Finlay River; northwest of there the larger Kechika Ranges lie between the Stikine Ranges and the [Rocky Mountain Trench](/source/Rocky_Mountain_Trench). The [Stikine Plateau](/source/Stikine_Plateau) lies to the west of the Stikine Ranges.[3]

## Extent

The ranges run on a NW-SE axis from the Yukon boundary, adjacent to the [Nisutlin Plateau](/source/Nisutlin_Plateau) at c. [60°00′00″N 131°45′00″W / 60.00000°N 131.75000°W / 60.00000; -131.75000](https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?pagename=Stikine_Ranges&params=60_00_00_N_131_45_00_W_), to the [Finlay River](/source/Finlay_River) at c. [57°40′N 126°30′W / 57.667°N 126.500°W / 57.667; -126.500](https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?pagename=Stikine_Ranges&params=57_40_N_126_30_W_).[4]
