| 词条 | Campbell River (Semiahmoo Bay) |
| 释义 |
The Campbell River passes through Surrey and Langley, British Columbia, Canada, entering Semiahmoo Bay at the Semiahmoo Indian Reserve, which lies between the City of White Rock and Peace Arch Park on the international boundary. Originally labelled Campbell Creek in 1917 by the Geographic Board of Canada,[1] it was labelled Tahtaloo on International Boundary Survey sheet 2 (date not cited); variant spellings include Tahla too, Tah-la-loo, and Tah tu lo.[2] It was probably named after Archibald Campbell, US commissioner in the joint negotiations to locate the international boundary 1857-1862, who had his camp at the mouth of the creek.[3][4] It was identified in the field notes of Joseph Trutch's survey as Semiahmoo Creek in 1859.[5] Tributaries (listed from the mouth up)
