Description

The report presents an overview of the physiography, climate, ecology, general soil patterns, and selected agricultural interpretations for the Gleichen SW map sheet. The accompanying soil map displays patterns of soils at a moderate level of detail. The soils were distinguished by patterns that relate to other landscape features such as landform and slope. Soil and terrain characteristics were interpreted for three agricultural applications: production of spring-seeded small grains, irrigation, and range productivity. The generalized ratings or capability classes are intended as guidelines for land use planners and managers. Agricultural land use, land suitability for production, and land management are briefly discussed.
