## Geography

[edit]

An undulating plain marks the region of Saint-Casimir (Quebec). This clayey plain is carved out by the Sainte-Anne River and its tributaries, including the Blanche River.

The Blanche River meanders towards the Sainte-Anne River. To the south, the hills are gneissic rocks (Clark and Globensky 1975: 10)[2] belonging to the Laurentian highlands called the “Petite Laurentides of Batiscan”.[3][4]
