The Central Parkland Subregion
Surficial deposits range from intermediate-textured hummocky and ground
moraines to fine-textured glaciolacustrine deposits and coarse outwash, kame moraine, and dune field materials. Moraines are most widespread, with kame moraines locally extensive in eastern portions. The Neutral Hills are an excellent example of ice-thrust
bedrock ridges. Elevations range from just over 500 metres where the Battle River enters Saskatchewan to around 1100 metres in western portions. Numerous permanent streams, all part of the Saskatchewan River system, cut across the subregion. Numerous lakes are scattered throughout the subregion as well as a wide variety of permanent wetlands. Many of the lakes and wetlands are slightly to strongly saline. Information provided by and printed with the permission of Alberta Community Development, Provincial Parks and Protected Areas. |
