Kootenay Land District
Description
The land district comprises all those parts of the Kootenay River and Columbia River basins in the southeast corner of the province, excepting the drainages of the Okanagan, Granby, Sanpoil and Kettle Rivers, i.e. all those sub-basins of the Columbia on the west and south of the summit-line of the Monashee Mountains. Also not in the land district is the northernmost part of the Columbia's basin, north of Boat Encampment and Mica Creek, northwest of which is Cariboo Land District. To Kootenay Land District's west is Yale Land District, which includes the Kamloops-Shuswap, Okanagan and Boundary Country regions of the province. While most land districts are primarily defined by lines of latitude and longitude and survey parcel boundaries, the boundaries of Kootenay Land District are near-entirely the summit-line of the encasing mountain ranges, namely the aforementioned Monashee Mountains on the west, and the border with Alberta along the line of the Rockies
