註釋"Bosworth Creek originates at Hodgson (Jackfish) Lake (Latitude 65° 18' N Longitude 126° 41' W), Tulita District, Sahtu Settlement Area and parallels the base of Discovery Ridge before changing course to the southeast and joining the Mackenzie River (Latitude 65° 16' N Longitude 126° 51' W) within the municipal boundaries of the Town of Norman Wells. Bosworth Creek has played an important role in local history. Natural flow was impeded with the construction of a weir in 1960 approximately 250 metres from its confluence with the Mackenzie River. The pond created behind this weir supplied the oil refinery with water for stream driven electricity and drinking water for the Town of Norman Wells. The town abandoned this water source in 1991 and closure of the refinery in 1996 prompted channel flow reclamation as recommended by the Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT). The weir was removed and natural flow restored in 2005 under Imperial Oil Resources NWT Limited's Reclamation and Restoration Plan (SRRB 2008).
