This map illustrates the distribution of soil parent material textures in the agricultural region of Alberta. Soil texture is defined by the relative proportions of the sand, silt and clay particles present. Soil textures are identified by classes using the Soil Texture Triangle illustrated below. The Soil Texture Triangle identifies the textural class of a soil at the intersection of the percent sand (x-axis) and the percent clay (y-axis). The percent silt of the soil is the remainder to add up to 100 percent. This resource was created in 2002 using ArcGIS.

This dataset is a GIS version of the surficial geology line features for the Fort Chipewyan area, Alberta (NTS 74L) , as mapped at 1:250,000 scale by L.A. Bayrock (Alberta Geological Survey Map 141).

This data set is a GIS version of the surficial geology lithologic contacts for the Bitumount area Alberta (NTS74E), as mapped at 1:250,000 scale by L.A.Bayrock.

This data set is a GIS version of the surficial geology lacustrine deposit features for the Waterways area Alberta (NTS74D), as mapped at 1:250,000 scale by L.A.Bayrock. It serves as an overlay on the polygon features that depict the map units.

The Geological Atlas of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin was designed primarily as a reference volume documenting the subsurface geology of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. This GIS dataset is one of a collection of shapefiles representing part of Chapter 19 of the Atlas, Cretaceous Mannville Group of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin, Figure 3, Sub-Mannville Unconformity. Shapefiles were produced from archived digital files created by the Alberta Geological Survey in the mid-1990s, and edited in 2005-06 to correct, attribute and consolidate the data into single files by feature type and by figure.

This dataset is a GIS version of the surficial geology areal features for the Fort Chipewyan area, Alberta (NTS 74L) , as mapped at 1:250,000 scale by L.A. Bayrock (Alberta Geological Survey Map 141).

This dataset is a GIS version of Alberta Geological Survey Map 139, line features, as mapped at 1:250,000 scale.

This GIS dataset is a GIS version of AGS Map 178, polygon features, as mapped at 1:250,000-scale by Fenton and Andriashek. Digitizing was originally done by Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration (PFRA). The data were supplied to AGS by PFRA in Arc/Info coverage format (map polygon features only). Data were subsequently checked and edited by AGS.

This GIS dataset is a GIS version of AGS Map 178, linear features, as mapped at 1:250,000-scale by Fenton and Andriashek.

This data set is a GIS version of the surficial geology point features for the Waterways area Alberta (NTS74D), as mapped at 1:250,000 scale by L.A.Bayrock.
