77 m. MacGregor — Altitude 956 ft. (291 m.). At 



124 km. the 69th mile post, or about two miles (3.2 km.) 



west of Bagot, is the Emerado beach, and one 



mile (1.6 km) west of MacGregor the lowest 



of the Blanchard beaches is crossed. 



84 m. Austin — Altitude 1,015 ft. (309 m.). When 



135 km. the level of Lake Agassiz stood about the level 

 of Austin its drainage changed from flowing 

 southward into the Mississippi and found an 

 outlet northward to Hudson bay. 



105 m. Carberry — Altitude 1257 ft. (383 m ). 



169 km. Beaches marking a higher stage in the level 

 of the lake are crossed by the railway before 

 reaching this point, but they are indistinct 

 and not well marked. They may however 

 be found at the following points: at 86.9 

 miles (27 km.) from Winnipeg is the lower 

 Campbell beach; at 87.5 miles (26.6 km) 

 the upper Campbell beach. Immediately west 

 of Carberry the Herman beaches are to be seen. 



132 m. Brandon — Altitude — 1199 ft. (3 6 5 m.). The 



212 km. evidences of Lake Agassiz are very slight at 

 Brandon and as it is situated on the estuary 

 of the ancient Assinboine river at the highest 

 stage of the lake, delta deposits only can be 

 found. 



157 m. Griswold — Altitude 142 1 ft. (433 m.). 



253 km. Slight evidences of morainic material occur 

 between Brandon and Griswold which mark 

 the position of the ice front when glacial Lake 

 Souris was in existence. This lake had not the 

 dimensions of Lake Agassiz. It drained south- 

 ward by the Pembina river. 



264 m. Broadview — Altutude 1961 ft. (598 m.).
