The Fraser Valley is a triangular-shaped lowland bordered by the Coast Mountains, and the Cascade Mountains and Chuckanut Hills. The Fraser River, draining a vast interior basin, breaks through the coastal mountains to reach the Strait of Georgia. GeoMap Vancouver includes that portion of the Fraser Valley lying on the Canadian side of the International Boundary.
