Abstract
During the retreat of the last ice-sheet from a position in the vicinity of Qu'Appelle River valley to one north of Saskatoon in Saskatchewan two distinct lobes were formed, one ocupying the present valley of the South Saskatchewan River and the other the Lost Mountain Lake Valley. The character of surficial materials provides evidence for the existence of lakes in front of the melting ice. Delta sands mark inlets to these lakes and the outlets left distinctive channels at various levels. Evidence for slight postglacial movement has been found.
