The farm that my father grew up on and which is still owned by our family falls in the Lake Agassiz lake bed and is part of the Red River flood plane. As you sit in the farm yard and looked South East you can see a ridge of low mountains, more like hills that we always referred to as the 'blue hills' and my Grand Mother in her 90's refers to as the 'shore of 'Lake Agassi'... Some of the most fertile farm land in the area resides in this flood plane.

Interesting. I've read that geologists can still 'see' the ancient shore line in some areas. (You should always listen to your mother)
