Noieck River
The Noeick River is a river in the Central Coast region of British Columbia, Canada, flowing west out of the northernmost Pacific Ranges to enter saltwater on the east side of South Bentinck Arm, immediately to the north of the mouth of the Taleomey River at Taleomey Narrows. The locality of South Bentinck is located at the river's mouth. There was a Nuxalk village, ''Nuiku'', on a raised mound south of the mouth of the Noieck River. Another village, ''Kadis'', was on the east side of South Bentinck Arm about ¼-mile north of the mouth of the Noieck. The river originates at the Noeick Glacier, which is to the northwest of Mount Jacobsen.

River
A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river. In some cases, a river flows into the ground and becomes dry at the end of its course without reaching another body of water. Small rivers can be referred to using names such as Stream#Creek, creek, Stream#Brook, brook, rivulet, and rill. There are no official definitions for the generic term river as applied to Geographical feature, geographic features, although in some countries or communities a stream is defined by its size. Many names for small rivers are specific to geographic location; examples are "run" in some parts of the United States, "Burn (landform), burn" in Scotland and northeast England, and "beck" in northern England. Sometimes a river is defined as being larger than a creek, but not always: the language is vague. Rivers are part of the water cycle. Water generally collects in a river from Precipitation (meteorology), precipitation through a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
