Saskatchewan stretches from the United States border to the 60th parallel at the Northwest Territories, encompassing southern grain-growing plains and the boreal forest and Canadian Shield of the north. The South Saskatchewan River crosses the settled south, including Saskatoon, while the Churchill River runs through a northern country of lakes, rock and conifers.
