Grassland

This natural region is located in the southeast corner of the province. The grasslands are part of larger region known as the Great Plains that stretch from the Canadian Prairie Provinces, through the United States, to the Gulf of Mexico.

​

The Grassland region takes up most of southern part of Alberta. It then stretches west to the Rocky Mountains, and north to the edge of central Alberta. Landscape features found in the region include lakes, rivers, creeks, ravines, marshes, flat plains, rolling plains, hills, valleys, coulees, and the Badlands. Both igneous and sedimentary rocks can be found in the region, though most is of the sedimentary kind.
