Re:
If you look at the BCGNIS entry for "Cascade Mountains" you'll see that there's a few more details than that; oops no, sorry, no details east of the upper Similkameen - "
BCGNIS is not known for its consistency ;- I don't have Holland handy, I know he gets a bit more specific east of Princeton, some of the area south of the Similkameen east of Princeton is defined as part of the Thompson Plateau. There's also a casual usage in Canada describing the "tongue" of the Thompson Plateau between the lowermost Similkameen and the valley of the Okanagan as the Okanagan Range; I'll see if I can find some usage-examples of that, it's fairly common but unofficial; it's the location of either the Kruger or Richter ranches, I've forgotten which, and has also been referred to as the Kruger Range, or Richter Range....I'll see if I can remember where I've seen that. Thing with the use of Okanagan Range for the low mountains on the west side of Oliver and Osoyoos is that, when seen from the farther side of the Okanagan valley, they do appear to be the same range as the Okanagan Range proper; but Holland, and BCGNIS, are very specific. But like so much else in BC, popular usage and official usage often differ. Skookum1 ( talk) 12:58, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
