The term Stikine Region should not be confused with the terms Stikine Territory, Stikine District, or Stikine Country, which all mean something slightly different. Half the historical Stikine Country, roughly synonymous with the Stikine Mining District of colonial times, as being the entire basin of that river, is in the Kitimat-Stikine Regional District. The Stikine Territory was a colonial-era entity which existed briefly and had boundaries differing from that of the Stikine Country per se, being latitudinal in part and so cutting across terrain rather than defined by it. Most of the Stikine Region, the boundaries ofwhich reflect odern-era administrative realities, is comprised of areas not part of the historical or geographical Stikine, such as the Atlin District and some of the Cassiar Mining Districts, as well as some of the Liard basin, plus the basin of the Tatshenshini-Alsek in the "BC Panhandle" west of Skagway and north of Alaska's Glacier Bay National Park.

In the 2001 Census, Statistics Canada enumerated the following list of "Designated Places".

The principal economic activity in the region is mining. The region’s largest mine was the Cassiar asbestos mine which opened in 1952. The mine was depleted by 1991 and after a failed expansion to more underground deposits it was closed in early 1992. The Erickson Gold mine was operational from 1979 to 1988. The Taurus gold mine operated between 1982 and 1988. Both were planned to re-open in 1993-1994 but neither was able. The Golden Bear gold-silver mine operated between 1990 and 1993 before closing due to cost overruns. It was re-opened in 1997 after shifting to underground mining, from open-pit, but closed again in late 2001. The new Tulsequah Chief Mine, south of Atlin, with an estimated at 7.7 million tons containing copper, lead, zinc, gold and silver is under construction.

A major discovery of copper, gold, cobalt, silver and zinc was removed from mining potential with the establishment of the Tatshenshini-Alsek Provincial Park, located in the region western-most panhandle, in 1993. Other provincial parks in the region include the Atlin Provincial Park and Recreation Area, Stikine River Provincial Park, Mount Edziza Provincial Park and the Spatsizi Plateau Wilderness Provincial Park. The parks, and the region’s remoteness, are attracting a growing number of tourist and generating employment in outfitting, guiding and hunting. Tatshenshini-Alsek Park or Tatshenshini-Alsek Provincial Wilderness Park in British Columbia, Canada (9,580 km2) was established in 1993 after an intensive campaign by Canadian and American conservation organizations to halt mining exploration and development in the area and protect the area for its strong natural heritage and biodiversity...
