			Photo #: STS085-750-4 Date: Aug. 1997 Geographic Region: CANADA-M Feature: WINNIPEG



	STS085-750-004 Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada August 1997 Winnipeg, the capitol of Manitoba with a population of over 600,000, stands out in dramatic fashion in comparison with the extensive agriculture in the surrounding rural landscape. Some street patterns are discernible within the city and several highways, such as the Perimeter Highway 101 are visible. Part of the Trans-Canada Highway #1 is also visible, as it extends generally east-west through downtown Winnipeg. Even the intersecting runways of Winnipeg International Airport in west Winnipeg can be seen. The easterly-flowing Assiniboine River merges with the northward-flowing Red River in downtown Winnipeg. The thin, elongated field patterns at right angles to the Red River show the influence of French ownership patterns carried over from Colonial days. Also see image and comments for STS059-226-012 for this same area. Agriculturally, most of the large fields produce wheat, as this region is part of the large Spring Wheat Belt of North America. A band of scattered clouds are visible along the southern edge of the picture.
