Evansburg Alberta Information
Evansburg is a hamlet in west-central Alberta, Canada, within Yellowhead County.[3] It is located on Highway 16A, approximately 88 kilometres (55 mi) west of Edmonton and 96 kilometres (60 mi) east of Edson. The hamlet is adjacent to the Pembina River and the Pembina River Provincial Park. Evansburg was previously incorporated as a village until June 30, 1998, when it dissolved to become a hamlet within Yellowhead County.[4] Statistics Canada recognizes Evansburg as a designated place.[5] Evansburg is named after Harry Marshall Erskine Evans, former Edmonton mayor and advisor to the Government of Alberta.[6] The post office dates back to 1914.[7] In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Evansburg had a population of 717 living in 334 of its 371 total private dwellings, a change of -9.8% from its 2016 population of 795. With a land area of 2.84 km2 (1.10 sq mi), it had a population density of 252.5/km2 (653.9/sq mi) in 2021.[2] As a designated place in the 2016 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Evansburg had a population of 795 living in 370 of its 419 total private dwellings, a change of -9.7% from its 2011 population of 880. With a land area of 2.75 km2 (1.06 sq mi), it had a population density of 289.1/km2 (748.7/sq mi) in 2016.[5] The Tipple Park Museum preserves and showcases Evansburg’s railway, agricultural and coal mining history.[8] The museum’s symbol is a tipple, or a structure at a mine used to load ore or coal. Evansburg has gained a degree of fame across Canada for being the “Home of the Grouch.” Every August, as part of the community’s Pembina Valley Daze festival, the community chooses the “Town Grouch”. The tradition began in 1961, when local artist John Lauer was commissioned to create a new welcome sign for the community. To add some humour to the sign, he listed Evansburg’s population as “603 people, 29 dogs, 41 cats, and one grouch.” Speculation began as to who the grouch was. In 1979, the Evansburg Chamber of Commerce decided to settle the question by holding an election, in which the community’s grouch was elected by the people. The election has been held annually ever since. Lauer himself was elected the grouch in 1995.[9] In the 1990s, Evansburg decided to capitalize on this tradition by adopting the slogan “Home of the Grouch” and using a scowling coal miner (to also honour its coal mining heritage) as its logo. Far from being an honorary title, the Town Grouch has become a real position with real responsibilities. The chosen citizen becomes Evansburg’s ambassador, and represents the community at trade shows and conferences across Canada. Town Grouch is given a uniform consisting of overalls, a pick-axe, and a miner’s helmet, all designed to mimic the community’s logo. The Town Grouch’s home also gets the honorary address of “10 Frowning Street.”[9] In recent years, the election has been replaced with a competition to see who can raise the most money for Pembina Valley Daze.[9] As a flag stop Via Rail’s The Canadian calls at the Evansburg railway station three times per week in each direction.

Topsoil Depth (in) Alberta Source aafc slc version 3.2
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.
