Laurentian Highlands

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Laurentian Highlands consist of a landmass that extends from the Gatineau and Ottawa rivers in the west to beyond the Saguenay River in the east. Elevation ranges from 400 metres to more that 1000 metres (about 1300 to 3300 feet) in Laurentides Provincial Park north of Quebec City. These highlands are part of the southernmost portion of the Canadian Shield within Canada. They correspond closely with Quebec's Grenville geological province.
