The Fort St. John Timber Supply Area is located in the northeast interior of the province. The timber supply area stretches from the Peace River in the south to Ekwan Lake in the north. It extends from the Alberta border in the east to the continental divide along the Northern Rocky Mountains to the west. The timber supply area includes the communities of Fort St. John, Taylor and several smaller rural settlement areas.
The eastern portion of the Fort St. John Timber Supply Area is dominated by a plateau intersected by streams in deep gullies. Moving westward, the plateau gives way to a rolling, hilly landscape and finally to mountainous terrain in the west. In the northern part of the timber supply area, large river systems are dominant in some areas. The climate is severe throughout the timber supply area with long, cold winters and short growing seasons.
