The Coteau du Missouri, or Missouri Plateau
[edit]In Canadian schools I was taught "the Missouri Couteau", and its meaning as I recall it was not the higher prairie west of it, but the strip of descending land between the higher lands west of it and those lower ones to the east. A couteau is a knife-cut in French, a slice, something cut; it's not something flat. It's interesting that, as it seems, on the use side the full French-form name is used ("du Couteau") but in Canadian English it's usually just the Missouri Couteau. And it doesn't refer to the plateau above it, but to that plateau's edge. From what I recall anyway, can't provide an immediate source, just happened to notice this. Alberta and maybe Saskatchewan Wikiprojects, if any, should probably also be added, and the opening line adjusted for the different meaning/usage I've provided, which should be common enough in any standard Canadian geography textbook.Skookum1 21:00, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
- You are right. Coteau is a small hill or a hillside or a hilly upland including the divide between two valleys; a divide or the side of a valley. [1]. One researcher also defines coteau as a high prairie. There are also several definitions of Coteau du Missouri. One is the plateau (the most popular) and the other the hills edging the (eastern edge) plateau as you described. ......Kayoty 08:36, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
