Preface
This report and the accompanying soil maps (sheets 93 BISW and 93 B/SE in the National Topographic System) cover 759 225 ha of land taking in the city of Williams Lake and extending west of the Fraser River to the community of Redstone.
The report describes the characteristics of the soils and map units and specifies their location and extent. It gives a short account of the history and natural features of the map area. The maps show the distribution of the soils. The survey was undertaken to provide an inventory of land resources through the Canada Land Inventory (CLI) program. Land capability maps were published during the 1970s (see References). Soil capability for agriculture maps were produced by J.I. Sneddon. Manuscript soil-and-terrain maps at a scale of 1:50 000 covering this and surrounding map areas are available from the B.C. Ministry of Environment.
This publication is one of a series covering the Cariboo-Chilcotin region, which provides information on the soils of the region and presents maps at scales of 1:100 000 or 1:125 000. Others in the series are soils of the Lac la Hache-Clinton area 1980; Soils of the Quesnel area 1982; Soils of the Horsefly area 1984; Soils of the Barkerville area 1985 and reports in preparation for the Taseko Lakes area, the Canim Lake-Bonaparte River area, and the Nazko area.
