From this it slopes up southward, and attains its greatest elevation--960 feet--at its termination about 200 miles south of the international boundary. The edges of this plain are also, notwithstanding its apparent horizontality, considerably more elevated than its axis where this is occupied by the Eed Eiver. Its width on the 49th parallel is fifty-two miles only.
