Flows from the Aberdeen plateau to the Shuswap River below Shuswap Falls.

There is confusion as to the extent of Harris Creek vs Bessette. The Provincial EMS data set at https://governmentofbc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0ecd608e27ec45cd923bdcfeefba00a7 contains results for sampling of Blue Springs Creek at its mouth into Harris Creek (EMS ID: E274293), and similarly for the mouth of Creighton Creek (EMS ID: E274289). Yet  that same map shows a label Bessette Creek just upstream of those points, so the database here shows that those creeks empty into Bessette, not Harris, and is in concurrence with local nomenclature.
