Apparently all is sandstone.
As we get west of Grand Falls it becomes

contoured. It is wide, the bottom nearly flat and
upaded with glacial material, while the sides
of streams or sedimentary rocks are more or less
well rounded. On the north of the river the hills
are lower than those of the south side. The former
are about 70 feet high while those of the south
rise considerably higher.
Farther west at Badger Brook the same
physiography is continued, all of the side streams
and the Exploits run in a very shallow sandy

The land is still flat up to Millerton Junction
although we are no longer in the Exploits Valley but are

Beyond the junction there is more wide flat trulier land.
To the north the hills are our high but to the south about
