Landforms of the Northern Rockies - Fine Art Print Map
The deeply glaciated Canadian Rockies are strongly marked by a general
pattern of northwest - southeast arcs that extend through western
Montana, much of Idaho, and on into Wyoming and even Colorado. Rivers
are both shaped by and strengthen the trends. The Columbia, Kootenai,
Clark Fork-Pend Orielle are notable examples. Great Rivers of the
mid-continent (Athabasca, North and South Saskatchewan,
Missouri-Yellowstone) develop the classic dendritic (tree) pattern once
they extend beyond the mountains.
