Figure 20. Physiography is the surface form of the Earth. Fort Fraser map area includes flat and rolling lowlands, rolling uplands, and low-lying mountains. The mountains increase elevation to the north. Uplands of glacial till and glacial river sediment flank the mountains. Lowlands are areas of glacial lake sediment cut by modern rivers and creeks.
