Cescent Spur

In the Robson Valley, the upper Fraser River follows a long trench between the mountains. Near the place later known as Crescent Spur, the Goat River joins it from the Cariboo Mountains to the west. The valley is part of the extensive homeland of the Simpcw, a Secwepemc people whose territory reaches across the Fraser headwaters. Families travelled seasonally to gather plants and fish and hunt throughout the surrounding country.
