Course

The Kingcome River flows generally south into Kingcome Inlet,[2] which lies north of and on the inland side of the Broughton Archipelago. It has two major tributaries, the Atlatzi River joining the Kingcome near its mouth at 51°00′55″N 126°07′08″W,[3] the Satsalla River, which like the Atlatzi flows southwest out of sources on the edge of the Ha-Iltzuk Icefield, meeting the Kingcome at 51°08′29″N 126°08′07″W.[4] Another smaller tributary, the Clear River, flows from the west, meeting the Kingcome at 51°04′18″N 126°10′23″W,[5]
