Geography

Megatushon Creek originates on the east side of the massive Level Mountain shield volcano, near the headwaters of the Little Tuya River, Kaha Creek, Lost Creek, and Beatty Creek, and about east 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 north, northwest, and east, first through Level Mountain's high and relatively barren lava plateau, then through rugged forested terrain, before emptying into the Nahlin River.
