The watershed is shared roughly 75/25 with Tolko Industries Inc. (Tolko) Forest development is planned by both parties to address in part recent mountain pine beetle (MPB) infestation. Harris Creek becomes Bessette Creek at the confluence with a tributary sharing the name in the residual area. The point of interest for the watershed is located at the crown/private land boundary downstream of the Nicklen Creek confluence. Six sub-basins have been delineated for discussion purposes upstream of this point -Nicklen, McAuley, Mosquito, Home, West Harris, and Upper Harris Creeks.
