Wood River (British Columbia)
The Wood River, which flows in a southwesterly direction, is in the East Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia. The former confluence was near the top of the Big Bend Country, Big Bend of the Columbia River. After the enlarged Kinbasket Lake formed the Mica Dam reservoir, the flow entered Wood Arm. Name origin In their respective journals, the waterway was called Flat Heart River by David Thompson (explorer), David Thompson (1811) (reflecting his men's timidity), Little Canoe River by Gabriel Franchère (1814) (adjacent to Canoe River (British Columbia), Canoe River mouth), and Portage River by Alexander Ross (fur trader), Alexander Ross (1824) (largely unnavigable). In 1874, Sandford Fleming referred to the valley of Portage or Wood River.

Course The Wood River leaves the southwest corner of Fortress Lake, which lies west of the Cont ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Wood River, Alaska
Wood is a porous and fibrous structural tissue found in the stems and roots of trees and other woody plants. It is an organic materiala natural composite of cellulose fibers that are strong in tension and embedded in a matrix of lignin that resists compression. Wood is sometimes defined as only the secondary xylem in the stems of trees, or it is defined more broadly to include the same type of tissue elsewhere such as in the roots of trees or shrubs. In a living tree it performs a support function, enabling woody plants to grow large or to stand up by themselves. It also conveys water and nutrients between the leaves, other growing tissues, and the roots. Wood may also refer to other plant materials with comparable properties, and to material engineered from wood, or woodchips or fiber. Wood has been used for thousands of years for fuel, as a construction material, for making tools and weapons, furniture and paper. More recently it emerged as a feedstock for the production ...
