Geography
Stewbomb Creek originates on the north side of Yeda Peak of the Spectrum Range. The creek flows north, then east. After about 10 km it is joined by Artifact Creek. About 4 km after that Stewbomb Creek empties into the Little Iskut River at the eastern boundary of Mount Edziza Provincial Park. Obsidian Ridge lies between Stewbomb and Artifact Creeks.

History
According to the 1992 Geological Survey of Canada memoir The Late Cenozoic Mount Edziza Volcanic Complex, British Columbia, Stewbomb Creek was so-named to commemorate the explosion of a pressure cooker full of stew. The incident happened in a tent while Canadian volcanologist Jack Souther and his team were camping on the creek during field mapping.
