AEU SCI QE 194 Q24 1993 Provides a useful
summary map showing "ice-shoved hills" across southeast
Saskatchewan and east central Alberta. Text concentrates on a
discussion of the Dirt Hills and Cactus Hills in southwest
Saskatchewan, and ice-thrust terrain in the Lancer area of west
Saskatchewan, north of the Cypress Hills.
