    This property has a total of approximately 80 acres with 40 acres that actually have lakefront on Spruce Lake. There are approximately 40 acres on each side of the highway, just before the hamlet of Spruce Lake. The acres on Spruce Lake have beach front and what used to be 10 campsites with power hookups. The hookups are still there, but the power was disconnected years ago. There is also a "yard light" over by the 10 campsite area, but everything has grown over throughout the years, however, the potential is still there. There was also a boat launch on the property, but that has also been overgrown. There is an old barn on the property and what appears to be a small house, which may indicate the potential of a well, especially since there were 10 functional campsites. Crystal Beach and Turtle Lake are only a short distance away, and since it is very difficult to secure a campsite at either location, since they fill up quickly, having campsites on Spruce Lake may be an option. The potential buyer could sell the 40 acres on the South side of the highway, or develop that area too. Apparently locals boat and fish on the lake. Spruce Lake is fed by clean natural springs. The rail line that ran through the community was abandoned in 2005 and torn up in 2008, and makes a beautiful walking path. With the rail path on the south and a quad trail on the north, with a little more pebble it would create a beautiful and scenic path to and from the campground (round walking path). Half way through you could stop at the beach for a swim in the clean sandy bottom, before ending the trail back at the boat dock....or just go to the beach from the boat dock.

    Check out this nice sized lot (56' X 114') on a quiet cul de sac at Sandy Point, Brightsand Lake. There have been trees planted on the perimeter, which will serve to be a more desirable yard each year as they mature. There is an easy walk to the lake and the community is great at working together for everyone to enjoy the area. The lot has 100-amp service, septic and well already established. The owners had a beautiful camper located on the lot, but have moved on and would like to just sell the serviced lot, which would be a perfect place for the cabin of your dreams. The 30' composite deck can stay where it is, if you purchase prior to the camper being moved out and could be used for your new cabin. With 3 sheds, you have lots of storage space, plus one houses the well and pressure system. More details

Understanding Topsoil Depth in Alberta: Insights from AAFC SLC Version 3.2 Data

Topsoil depth is a critical factor for agricultural productivity, influencing water retention, nutrient availability, and root growth. The provided map of Alberta illustrates the topsoil depth in inches, highlighting significant regional variations. This analysis is based on data from the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) Soil Landscapes of Canada (SLC) Version 3.2.

Key Observations

The topsoil depth in Western Alberta and the Rockies is generally shallow, ranging from 0 to 6 inches. This is due to the rugged terrain and erosional processes associated with mountainous regions. The shallow topsoil in these areas supports forests and natural vegetation rather than extensive agriculture.

Central Alberta, including areas around Edmonton and Red Deer, exhibits moderate to deep topsoil depths, generally between 8 to 14 inches. These depths are conducive to productive agriculture, supporting a variety of crops. The deeper topsoil in central regions contributes to higher agricultural yields and sustainable farming practices.

In Southern and Eastern Alberta, regions such as Calgary and areas towards the Saskatchewan border show variable topsoil depths ranging from 6 to 10 inches. While suitable for agriculture, these areas may require careful soil management to maintain productivity. Areas with shallower topsoil are more drought-resistant and may need irrigation and soil conservation practices.

Regional Analysis

The Rocky Mountain Influence is evident in the shallow topsoil of the Rocky Mountain foothills, resulting from the rocky and rugged terrain, limiting soil accumulation. These areas are more suited to forest growth and natural vegetation rather than intensive agriculture.

In contrast, the Prairie Conditions in central Alberta benefit from moderate to deep topsoil, which is ideal for crop production and supports Alberta’s agricultural economy. Maintaining topsoil depth through conservation practices is essential for sustaining long-term agrarian productivity in these areas.

Implications for Agriculture

Understanding topsoil depth is crucial for effective soil management practices, including crop selection, irrigation, and fertilization. Farmers can use this data to optimize their farming practices, choosing crops suited to the available topsoil depth and implementing appropriate soil conservation measures. Deeper topsoil improves water retention and nutrient availability, which is essential for healthy crop growth and high yields.

Conclusion

The topsoil depth map of Alberta reveals significant regional variations influenced by geographical features such as the Rocky Mountains and the fertile plains of central Alberta. Understanding these variations is crucial for optimizing agricultural practices and ensuring sustainable farming. By leveraging this data, farmers can improve crop yields, manage soil health, and enhance overall agrarian productivity in Alberta.
