Latitude- 55º 4' N Longitude- 128º 14' W Also Woodcock Airport, were possibly named after William Henry Woodcock Woodcock Airport was installed during WWII by the RCAF, from everything I can find on it. Woodcock became a train stop for GTP built in 1912, which later became the CNR of today. Also a Telegraph Repeater Station was located here for the Dominion Telegraph line, built in 1901, from Hazelton to Port Simpson, all along the Skeena River. Back in the 1970's I think it was, an artist who lived in that building. They sold their pictures in Terrace for one place. Name I do not know. I see pictures of the station on flicker, so it still exists.
