Description

This soil survey updates a portion of the reconnaissance survey, Wainwright and Vermilion sheets. The new survey benefits from more intensive investigation of soils in the field, use of recent, good quality aerial photographs and improved map presentation. The soil map consists of 53 individual sheets that are prepared from aerial photographs. The first section of the report outlines cultural and historic features of the county. This is followed by discussions on physical features of the area and their relationship to soils. The final portion of the report outlines soil survey interpretations for agriculture and engineering.

Description

The report presents descriptions of the data on the cultural and physical features of the Chip Lake area, located in west-central Alberta, and the formation, character, and limitations of the soils. In addition, it outlines the methods used in chemical and physical analyses, defines terms describing significant features of the map area and of the field classification, includes physical analyses for engineering purposes, and gives a classification of the soils. The soil map included with the report shows the location and extent of the different soil areas and indicates the main topographic features. The soil rating map indicates the better land from the poorer land and serves as a guide to future agricultural development.
