1895
Compiled and drawn by James McEvoy B.A.Sc.
George Mercer Dawson [1849–1901] engaged in geological work in the southern inland portion of British Columbia during the years 1877, 1888, 1889 and 1890, frequently accompanied by James McEvoy [1862–1935].
In his list of Shuswap names of places on the Kamloops Sheet of the Geological Map of British Columbia, Dawson includes Tsuk-tsuk-kwālk, a reservation on the North Thompson that means “red place (trees)” in the native language.
