Which physical regions make up Manitoba’s landscape?

Manitoba’s landscape is defined by several distinct physical regions that reflect the province's diverse geological history:

• Saskatchewan Plain: Located in the extreme south, this region consists of rich, level prairies and rolling pastures.1
• Manitoba Lowland: Situated to the north of the southern plains, this area is a basin that once held glacial Lake Agassiz. It is characterized by large lakes, including Lake Winnipeg, Lake Winnipegosis, and Lake Manitoba, as well as wooded river valleys and limestone outcrops.12
• Canadian Shield: Covering about three-fifths of the province to the north and east, this geologically ancient region is composed of rocks, forests, and rivers.1
• Hudson Bay Lowland: Extending inland from the southern shores of Hudson Bay, this area is a flat plain dominated by tundra and boglike muskeg.13
• Western Upland: Found along the Saskatchewan border, this region includes the [Manitoba Escarpment], which features the Riding, Duck, and Porcupine mountains.1
