About 35 percent of Manitoba consists of plains, called the Interior Plains. Two major subdivisions of them are recognized. Much the larger of the two is the First Prairie Level, or the Manitoba Lowland. Its elevation ranges from 180 to 270 m (600 to 900 ft). The Manitoba Lowland encompasses the Red River Valley and the area of three large lakes—Winnipeg, Winnipegosis, and Manitoba. During glacial times the Manitoba Lowland was for a very long period occupied by a vast lake, called Lake Agassiz. Surface features and soils of the lowland reflect the various levels attained by that ancient lake. Some areas, for example, have gravelly beach deposits or sandy delta materials or even old dune belts. Others have fine soils formed in the deeper lake basins.

The second subdivision of the Interior Plains forms the southwestern corner of Manitoba. Commonly called the Second Prairie Level, this plain rises somewhat above the level of the Manitoba Lowland and has an average elevation of about 600 m (2,000 ft) above sea level. The eroded east-facing edge of this higher plains area is called the Manitoba Escarpment. The escarpment, which is a steep cliff, is capped by material left by the glaciers and is breached at several points by broad river lowlands. It occurs as a series of hilly uplands identified from south to north as the Pembina Mountains, Riding Mountain, Duck Mountain, and the Porcupine Hills. The Duck Mountain area includes Baldy Mountain, the highest point in the province at 832 m (2,730 ft).

Nearly all of the remaining portion of Manitoba is part of the great Canadian Shield. The shield is a complex area geologically. It can be briefly described, however, as a plateau of crystalline rocks representing the eroded roots of ancient mountains. The present surface of relatively low elevations is dotted with small, rounded hills and is poorly drained, largely because of past glaciation. The area is covered with lakes connected by short, turbulent rivers.

At the edge of the shield in northeastern Manitoba is a narrow zone that is part of the region called the Hudson Bay Lowlands. It is a low plain of sedimentary rock, yet its surface features differ little from those of the shield.

About 16 percent of the surface area of Manitoba is covered by lakes and large rivers. The largest and most important of the lakes is Lake Winnipeg, 428 km (266 mi) in length. Next in size are lakes Winnipegosis and Manitoba. Several rivers are noteworthy. The Saskatchewan River flows from the west and enters Lake Winnipeg via Cedar Lake. A much shorter river, the Winnipeg, links the Lake of the Woods in southwestern Ontario with Lake Winnipeg. The Red River enters Manitoba from the south and is joined by the muddy Assiniboine at the city of Winnipeg. Below the city the Red River has been canalized to provide a navigation route to Lake Winnipeg. All these major rivers and many lesser ones converge on Lake Winnipeg, which in turn is drained through the Nelson River to Hudson Bay. South of the Nelson River is the Hayes River and its tributary system, and to the north is the Churchill River system, which also flows to Hudson Bay.
