Geography

Classy Creek originates among unnamed lakes on the south flank of the massive Level Mountain shield volcano, near the headwaters of Hartz Creek, Riley Creek, and Mansfield Creek, and about southeast of Meszah Peak, the highest peak of the Level Mountain Range, a cluster of bare peaks on the summit of Level Mountain. The creek flows first southwest then south through Level Mountain's high and relatively barren lava plateau. The Indian reserve "Classy Creek 8", of the Tahltan First Nation, is located about halfway along the creek's course where it turns south, just south of Mincho Lake. Near its mouth Classy Creek descends into the canyon of the Tuya River.
