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 1956 survey. 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. During 1956 the exploratory soil survey covered Alberta map sheets 83-O, 83-P, and 73-M.
