Description

This report describes the Tawatinaw area in east-central Alberta, making reference to its physiographic features, parent material, and vegetation. A brief review of soil formation is included as background material to a discussion of the classification system and how it relates to this area. Soil characteristics are related to their use and management. Each soil series mapped is discussed in turn, giving its characteristics, distribution, and land use considerations. The appendix includes contributions from individuals in other disciplines who have conducted studies in this area. A soil and topography map, as well as a soil rating map, form an integral part of this report.
