Preface

This report and the soil maps it references (map sheets 92 0, NE, NW, SE and SW in the National Topographic System) cover about 15 500 km2 in the southwestern Cariboo and Chilcotin regions of British Columbia.

The report describes the characteristics of the soils and map units, and specifies their location and extent. It gives short accounts of the history and natural features of the map area. The soil maps show the distribution of the soils. The soil 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.

This publication is one of a series (Lord and Mackintosh 1982; Lord 1984; Valentine and Schori 1980; Gough, in preparation), covering the Cariboo-Chilcotin region. These publications provide soils information of the region by presenting maps at scales of 1:100 000 and 1:125 000, legends, and textual descriptions in which simplified map units, extended map legends, and simple map unit symbols are used.
