註釋There has been a paucity of published information relating to the impact of internal boundaries on the physical and human geography of border landscapes. This thesis shows that this neglect has not been entirely justified because internal boundaries have a definite effect on the functions of a border settlement. The unique location of the City of Lloydminster astride the Alberta-Saskatchewan provincial boundary, provided the writer with an excellent case study for the evaluation of the impact of an internal boundary on a border landscape. Lloydminster was ideally suited for this type of study because of its compact size, easy accessibility, and its division into two almost equal parts. An examination of the study area indicated that the impact of the boundary on the political, economic, and social functions of Lloydminster has resulted in significant variations in the land use patterns and political voting habits of the community.
