Mile 22
Located between Mile 17 and Mile 22 of the Alaska Highway, this community is midway between Dawson Creek and Fort St. John. The Old Alaska Highway and the Kiskatinaw River cross the area. Tower Lake Road goes to an agricultural area to the east, and to Triangle Road to further agricultural areas. The entire area, except the land adjacent to the river, is within the provincial Agricultural Land Reserve. Much of the area is forested with mainly white spruce, trembling aspen, and balsam poplar.
The rural residential community of mostly four-acre lots around Lebell Road and Gibson Frontage Road were created in 1971. The new Kiskatinaw Bridge and Alaska Highway were constructed in 1978-79 which moved traffic away from these lots. Further rural residential lots were created with the Gibson Sub Road in 1984 and 2006. The Kiskatinaw Provincial Park, 54 ha (133 acres) established in 1962, is located near the community by the Old Kiskatinaw Bridge, a curved wooden trestle bridge built 1942 during the construction of the original Alaska Highway. In 2007 the community consists of about 150 people.
