Description

This report and accompanying soil maps describe the characteristics, distribution, and use limitations of the soils in the Iosegun Lake area in north-western Alberta. As part of the program to inventory Alberta's land resources at a reconnaissance scale, this soil survey provides baseline data for general land use planning. A brief treatment of the geology, history, climate and vegetation of the area is presented as background information to a general understanding of the landscape. The complete report consists of the written text and four soil maps. Soil units are identified on the map, and are described briefly in the legend, and at a greater length in the text in terms of the landscape and environments where they occur.
