Colonial Despatches

The area outlined on the map estimates a range of where a Sutleth village or palisade may have existed.

Sutleth is mentioned during the Chilcotin War, and a southern route to Sutleth appears on this map. A “Sutleth Lake” often appeared on contemporary maps, adjacent to Nimpo, or Nimpoh, Lake. However, on modern maps Nimpo Lake does not appear to have any nearby lakes of a similar size and shape, as Sutleth Lake was shown in colonial sources. It is unclear if this is due to errors in colonial sources, or if the topography of the region has changed.
