St. Johns Bay has a large river and in the park
has fills of the bottoms to about 250 ft. Splendid terraces
maybe seen here. Terr are prominent, the lower one at
150 ft., the 3rd at 250 ft. On the stream valley
one can see terraces up to about 400 ft.
At the mouth of St. Marguerite river again
are seen the terrace deltas. Here they again appear
to go up to 1000 ft. The broad valley is all sand
filled.
Daguenay Rvr.
Opposite St. Etienne bay occur badly directed
terraces for here the sand is piled upon the granite
higher than 400 ft. This sand occurs on the outer
side of the Daguenay bend, see map in Backsthes.
Finally at Tadrouzac facing the St. Lawrence
occur the same elevated terraces of cleanly weathered
angular sands of a lighter yellowish color. They are as
high here as elsewhere. They thinly cover the granite
and are now being washed away but off course
slowly.
