The Satah Mountain Volcanic Field on the Chilocotin-Nechako Plateau in central British Columbia consists of a N-S-trending chain of pyroclastic cones (Hickson 1990, pers. comm.). This long ridge of trachytic lava domes and flows, and basaltic and trachybasaltic pyroclastic cones, extends south from the felsic Itcha Range volcanic complex. The youngest cone is well preserved and could be of comparable age to the 7200-year-old Nazko cone 80 km NE (Charland et al., 1993). However, Ar-Ar dating of multiple cones by Kuehn et al., 2015) found that the youngest was about 1.43 Ma. Kuehn et al. (2015) also interpreted Satah as belonging to the Anahim Volcanic Belt.
