Grouse Creek (British Columbia)

Grouse Creek is a creek located in the Cariboo region of British Columbia. The creek was discovered to be gold bearing in 1861. In 1864 the Heron Company staked a claim which yielded over $400,000. Many companies have mined the creek including the full rig, Black Hawk, Canadian, and Heron. The creek was mined heavily in 1860s and 1870s.[1] It was home to the Grouse Creek War.
