Mirror Alberta Information

Mirror is a hamlet in Lacombe County within central Alberta, Canada.[2] It is located at the junction of Highway 50 and Highway 21, approximately 42 km (26 mi) east of Lacombe and 52.2 km (32.47 mi) northeast of Red Deer. Founded in 1870, Mirror was incorporated as a village on July 12, 1912, and remained a village until January 1, 2004, when it was dissolved to become a hamlet under the jurisdiction of Lacombe County.[3] In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Mirror had a population of 481 living in 253 of its 270 total private dwellings, a change of -4.2% from its 2016 population of 502. With a land area of 2.3 km2 (0.89 sq mi), it had a population density of 209.1/km2 (541.6/sq mi) in 2021.[1] As a designated place in the 2016 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Mirror had a population of 502 living in 240 of its 261 total private dwellings, a change of 7.3% from its 2011 population of 468. With a land area of 2.3 km2 (0.89 sq mi), it had a population density of 218.3/km2 (565.3/sq mi) in 2016.[4] Lamerton started as the Buffalo lake trading post in 1892. It was situated on the S.E. corner of the N.E. 1/4-33-40-22, just north of the creek that joins Spotted Lake to Buffalo Lake. The post office was opened in 1893 and the first N.W.M.P detachment was opened about 1895. The police were there through 1897 and then went away. In 1902 and 1903 a constable Vernon was stationed in Lamerton but there are no more records of the detachment. By 1907 there was a large grocery and dry goods store, livery barn, hardware store, confectionery, blacksmith shop, creamery, a church, and a hotel. The majority of these buildings were either moved or sold after the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway decided to build their roundhouse in Mirror. The only remaining buildings on the old town site are a house and police barracks that were moved together to make a farm house.[5] The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway in 1911[6] built a branch line from Southern Alberta to connect Edmonton and Calgary, running their railroad through Tofield, down to Camrose, west of Buffalo Lake, across the Red Deer River, towards Trochu, Three Hills, Beiseker, and southwest Calgary.[7] The railway was also expected to pass through the Lamerton trading post.[8] However, they ran into difficulty when they were trying to purchase the land and they constructed their divisional point two miles to the South. This resulted in the Village of Mirror being established. The construction of the railway in Mirror caused Lamerton to be quickly abandoned, with its residents and many of its buildings being moved to Mirror.[8] In 1912, many buildings were moved into the new town site, which included a post office, hardware store, drug store, lumber yard, restaurant, and the Imperial Hotel. There were two livery stables and two pool halls. The Bank of Commerce from Lamerton and the Bank of Toronto opened in Mirror. Dr. Meyers was the village doctor, followed by Dr. McLennan who practiced medicine in Mirror for years. Dr. Chown was the last doctor and served the community for 30 years. The newspaper The Mirror Journal, owned by C. Good, was printed for a time.[9] Mirror was known as the railway town, and employed a large number of railway employees. The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway became a part of the Canadian National Railway in 1920. Since then the line running through Mirror has been operated by CN. The Anglican, the United and the Catholic Church served the religious needs of the village for many years. Originally, Catholic services were held in local homes. The Anglican Church built in 1895 preceded Mirror, and the United church was the Methodist church from Lamerton. With the introduction and the increasing popularity of diesel powered engines a divisional point in between Edmonton and Calgary was no longer necessary, rendering the facilities at Mirror obsolete. The roundhouse was eventually closed and leveled. All the bustle and activity that marked the village for so many decades slowly died out as the majority of railway personnel were either transferred to other areas or retired.[9] As the railroaders left, the local economy declined, and the village of Mirror dissolved to a hamlet in 2004. Mirror was named after a British national tabloid newspaper, the Daily Mirror of London, England. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror,_Alberta

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.
