[edit] Location and terrain
Stockton Hill is located 30 km (19 mi) west of Barriere and northeast of Silwhoaikun. There are other summits higher than 1,500 m (4,921 ft) in the hills in the immediate area, but Stockton Hill is the highest, and the most distinct and steep-sided.[1] Its appearance is like a butte-like hillrock and lies on the Bonaparte Plateau, which extends to the Quesnel River and lies between the Cariboo Mountains on the east and the Fraser River on the west. Bare Lake is immediately north, Elbow Lake to the southwest, and an unnamed lake to the south-southeast. Stockton Hill is at the head of the Deadman River, just south of Bonaparte Lake.
