Line 31:
Also of major importance in the Chilcotin is the [[Gang Ranch]], once the world's largest and still among the major beef suppliers in [[British Columbia]]. "The Gang" dates from the 1860s and covers nearly all terrain south of the [[Chilcotin River]] and east of Taseko Lake and the [[Fraser River]], and skirting the [[Bridge River|Bridge River Country]] to its south. The vast terrain of the Gang Ranch is more wilderness than pasture, It is a mix of natural plateau and alpine meadowland and vast forests and swamps. The Gang verges up into the foothill area of the northeastern flank of the [[Coast Mountains]] as they approach the [[Fraser River]] from the west, meeting the [[Fraser River|Fraser]] between the Gang Ranch's main house and the town of [[Lillooet, British Columbia|Lillooet]].
 
Similar ranching conditions are found from the [[Burns Lake, British Columbia|Burns Lake]] and [[Smithers, British Columbia|Smithers]] area in northwestern Interior [[British Columbia|BC]] all the way south to the US border, including the famous [[Douglas Lake Ranch]] south of [[Kamloops, British Columbia|Kamloops]], but the Gang is by far the largest, and the most wild in character.
