2.2.1 Boston Bruins Forge FC Soccer CPL Hamilton Tim Hortons Field, Satellite image of Toronto and surrounding area Urban area's of the city are interrupted by the Toronto ravine system The city is mostly flat or gentle hills and the land gently slopes upward away from the lake the flat land is interrupted by the Toronto ravine system which is cut by numerous creeks and rivers of the Toronto waterway system most notably the Humber River in the west end and the Don River east of downtown at opposite ends of Toronto Harbour and the Rouge River at the city's eastern limits Most of the ravines and valley lands in Toronto today are parklands and recreational trails are laid out along the ravines and valleys the original town was laid out in a grid plan on the flat plain north of the harbour and this plan was extended outwards as the city grew the width and depth of several of the ravines and valleys are such that several grid streets such as Finch Avenue Leslie Street Lawrence Avenue and St Clair Avenue terminate on one side of a ravine or valley and continue on the other side Toronto has many bridges spanning the ravines Large bridges such as the Prince Edward Viaduct were built to span wide river valleys Despite its deep ravines Toronto is not remarkably hilly but its elevation does increase steadily away from the lake Elevation differences range from 76.5 metres (251 ft) above sea level at the Lake Ontario shore to 209 m (686 ft) ASL near the York University grounds in the city's north end at the intersection of Keele Street and Steeles Avenue. There are occasional hilly areas; in particular midtown Toronto has a number of sharply sloping hills Lake Ontario remains occasionally visible from the peaks of these ridges as far north as Eglinton Avenue 7 to 8 kilometres (4.3 to 5.0 mi) inland The Scarborough Bluffs is an escarpment along the eastern portion of the Toronto waterfront which formed during the last glacial period The other major geographical feature of Toronto is its escarpments During the last ice age the lower part of Toronto was beneath Glacial Lake Iroquois Today a series of escarpments mark the lake's former boundary known as the "Iroquois Shoreline" the escarpments are most prominent from Victoria Park Avenue to the mouth of Highland Creek where they form the Scarborough Bluffs Other observable sections include the area near St Clair Avenue West between Bathurst Street and the Don River and north of Davenport Road from Caledonia to Spadina Road; the Casa Loma grounds sit above this escarpment The geography of the lakeshore is greatly changed since the first settlement of Toronto Much of the land on the north shore of the harbour is landfill filled in during the late 19th century Until then the lakefront docks (then known as wharves) were set back farther inland than today Much of the adjacent Port Lands on the east side of the harbour was a wetland filled in early in the 20th century the shoreline from the harbour west to the Humber River has been extended into the lake Further west landfill has been used to create extensions of land such as Humber Bay Park The Toronto Islands were a natural peninsula until a storm in 1858 severed their connection to the mainland, creating a channel to the harbour the peninsula was formed by longshore drift taking the sediments deposited along the Scarborough Bluffs shore and transporting them to the Islands area the other source of sediment for the Port Lands wetland and the peninsula was the deposition of the Don River which carved a wide valley through the sedimentary land of Toronto and deposited it in the shallow harbour the harbour and the channel of the Don River have been dredged numerous times for shipping the lower section of the Don River was straightened and channelled in the 19th century the former mouth drained into a wetland; today the Don drains into the harbour through a concrete waterway the Keating Channel Climate, Members of the Reform Movement (Upper Canada). . . !
