Description
Exploratory soil surveys by helicopter, conducted by the soil survey section of the Research Council of Alberta, were initiated in 1955, but the first two projects completed were not previously described in published reports. This resource reports on the results of the 1955 survey, as well as previous exploratory surveys conducted in 1954. Information gathered by these surveys can be used to determine timber possibilities, for outlining the areas which may be suitable for future agricultural development, and for the planning of roads which could be utilized for mineral prospecting and other developments.
