The Dawson Creek Timber Supply Area is located in the northeast interior of the province. The timber supply area stretches from the Peace River in the north to the Kakwa Recreation Area in the south. It extends from the Alberta border in the east to the continental divide along the Rocky Mountains to the west.
The area is characterized by gently rolling prairie near Dawson Creek, eastern foothills near Chetwynd and Tumbler Ridge, and the rugged terrain of the Rocky Mountains around Monkman Park. The climate is severe throughout the area with long, cold winters and short growing seasons.
