Product Description
Manitoba is more than one of Canada's three prairie provinces. Encompassing 649,950 square kilometres, its territory ranges from Canadian Shield to grassland, parkland, and subarctic tundra. Its physical geography has been shaped by ice-age glaciers, while its human geography reflects the influences of its various inhabitants, from the First Nations who began arriving over 9,000 years ago, to its most recent immigrants. This fascinating range of geographical elements has given Manitoba a distinct identity and makes it a unique area for study.

Geography of Manitoba is the first comprehensive guide to all aspects of the human and physical geography of this unique province. Representing the work of 47 scholars, and illustrated with over 200 maps, diagrams, and photographs, it is divided into four main sections, covering the major areas of the province's geography: Physical Background; People and Settlements; Resources and Industry; and Recreation.

As well as studying historical developments, the contributors to Geography of Manitoba analyse recent political and economic events in the province, including the effect of federal and provincial elections and international trade agreements. They also comment on future prospects for the province, considering areas as diverse as resource management and climatic trends. ... Read more

Chapters: Red Coat Trail. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 154. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Red Coat Trail is a 1,300 kilometres (800 miles) route that approximates the path taken in 1874 by the North-West Mounted Police in their quest to bring law and order to the Canadian West. A number of highways in southern Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta roughly follow the original route. In Alberta, the trail follows Highways 3, 4, 61, 889, and 501. In Saskatchewan, Highway 13 is designated as Red Coat Trail. The travel corridor from the ManitobaSaskatchewan border to Winnipeg follows Manitoba PTH 2. Near Fort MacLeod, the traffic volume is between 4,200 and 7,900 vehicles per day (vpd) according to the 2007 Average Annual Daily Traffic report which is quite consistent for the decade. The area is a short grass prairie ecosystem with black soils and is conducive to grain growing. Located at the junction of Hwy 2 and the Red Coat Trail, Fort Macleod currently has a population of over 3,000 residents Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump is a major attraction 20 miles (32 km) northwest of town. Between Fort Macleod, and Lethbridge, the Red Coat Trail runs concurrent with the Crowsnest Highway traveling through the Porcupine Hills, the Coyote Flats, and a ghost town named Pearce only marked by a railway crossing and a few farms. D.M. Wilson says it best, "beneath the Highway's pavement is perhaps 50 meters (164 ft) of glacial till consisting of sand and gravel, clays and boulder clays, humped into hills by the las continental glacier perhaps as it melted away to the northward some 11,000 years ago, overlaying some 10,000 feet (3,000 m) of sedimentary Púleozoic and Mesozoic strata which themselves rest on Precambrian granites.
