Origin Notes and History:
|
Adopted 2 January 1980 on 104G/16 as submitted by Geological Survey of Canada (L.I. 15 November 1979). Source: BC place name cards & correspondence, and/or research by BC Chief Geographer & Geographical Names Office staff. |
|
The name was selected because the creek head is in an area covered by loose black cinders and ash from Williams Cove, and the Tahltans for "rock" and "rain" are recorded as being "Tse" and "Cha," which was deemed fitting by surveyors.
