Geography

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]

Note: Based on a structure number, the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility of Quebec, under the Inventory and inspection of structures tab, offers a tool that gives a detailed description of the condition of all bridges, culverts, retaining walls and tunnels under the management of the Ministry, by region, road, network. On bridges, numbers are usually found on the bridge. (French)^[5]
