[7][8] Bourgeaux Creek originates on the east side of Raspberry Pass, about 25 km (16 mi) south of Mount Edziza.

Raspberry Pass forms a boundary between the Spectrum Range to the south and the Mount Edziza area to the north.

[9][10] From its source, Bourgeaux Creek flows east, collecting a number of unnamed tributary streams.

Artifact Ridge lies on the south side of Bourgeaux Creek's watershed.

[2][11] Bourgeaux Creek was named for F. Bourgeaux, a member of the Western Union Telegraph Company party which, in 1866, explored the area for an overland telegraph route to Europe via Alaska, the Bering Strait and Asia.
