Regina Beach Saskatchewan Information
Regina Beach is a town in south central Saskatchewan, located on Highway 54, close to where Highway 11 (which connects Saskatoon to Regina) intersects with the Qu’Appelle Valley. As Regina Beach rests on shores of the south end of Last Mountain Lake, it becomes an active lakeside resort town in summer. To the east is Buena Vista, their boundary marked by 16 Street. About 5.6 kilometres (3.5 mi) south of town in the RM of Lumsden No. 189, is the Regina Beach Airport.[2] Regina Beach Recreation Site (50°47?33?N 104°58?30?W? / ?50.79250°N 104.97500°W? / 50.79250; -104.97500[3]) is a provincial recreation site on the western shore of Last Mountain Lake. The park runs along the lake’s shore in the town of Regina Beach from Centre Street South to 16 Street. Park amenities include a large sandy beach area, picnic area, beach volleyball courts, children’s playground, boat launch, and a fish filleting building. This is no overnight camping.[4][5] Just off shore, Sask Aquatic Adventures has a water adventure park set up.[6] It is one of several in Saskatchewan. The Regina Beach Golf Club is a 9-hole golf course that opened in 1969.[7] It runs along the south side of town and includes a restaurant and lounge. The total course length is 3,151 yd (2,881 m) and is a par 35.[8][9] While for most of its history Regina Beach students were bused to nearby Lumsden, in 1989 Regina Beach opened its own K-8 elementary school. In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Regina Beach had a population of 1,292 living in 623 of its 957 total private dwellings, a change of 12.8% from its 2016 population of 1,145. With a land area of 3.88 km2 (1.50 sq mi), it had a population density of 333.0/km2 (862.4/sq mi) in 2021.[10] Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regina_Beach

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.

Agricultural Zones: High-quality soils predominantly support major agricultural activities in the central and southern regions of the province.
Implications for Agriculture:
Crop Selection: Farmers can use this information to select appropriate crops for their land, ensuring optimal yields.
Soil Management: Identifying lower-quality soils (rated P, O, N) can help implement targeted soil improvement practices.
Applications of the Soil Class Map
Agricultural Planning:
Optimizing Crop Yields: Farmers can determine the best areas for different types of crops based on soil quality. High-rated soils (A, B) can support more demanding crops.
Sustainable Practices: Implementing crop rotation, cover cropping, and conservation tillage can help maintain soil health.
Land Management:
Resource Allocation: Land managers can allocate resources more effectively by focusing efforts on areas with high agricultural potential.
Policy Development: Policymakers can use the map to develop strategies for soil conservation and sustainable agricultural practices.
Conclusion
Using the A-P rating system, the soil class average map for each RM in Saskatchewan is a valuable tool for farmers, land managers, and policymakers.

- Land Sales: The CPR was granted extensive land holdings by the Canadian government as part of the incentives to build the transcontinental railway. These lands were then sold to settlers, immigrants, and investors to finance railway construction and operations.
Features of the Map - Geographical Coverage: The map covers Central Alberta, indicating the sections of land available for purchase. This region includes a mix of agricultural land and potential settlement areas.
- Land Parcels: The red shading on the map indicates the specific parcels of land that were for sale. Each parcel is meticulously plotted, showing the systematic approach to land distribution.
- Sectional Grid: The map uses a sectional grid system common in land surveying, dividing the area into manageable units for sale and development. This grid system was essential for organizing the vast tracts of land and making them accessible to buyers.
- Transportation Routes: The map highlights major transportation routes, including railways and roads, which were crucial for accessing the land and facilitating movement of goods and people.
- Topographical Features: Natural features such as rivers, lakes, and terrain types are marked on the map, providing prospective buyers with important information about the land’s characteristics and suitability for farming or other uses.
Significance - Settlement and Development: The sale of CPR lands was instrumental in populating and developing Central Alberta. It attracted settlers from various parts of Canada and abroad, contributing to the growth of agricultural communities.
- Economic Impact: The proceeds from land sales helped finance the construction and expansion of the CPR, which in turn boosted economic activities by connecting remote areas to markets and resources.
- Historical Record: Maps like these serve as valuable historical records, offering insights into land use, settlement patterns, and the economic strategies of the early 20th century. They are crucial for understanding the transformation of Western Canada from a frontier region to a developed agricultural and economic hub.
Conclusion
The “CP Rail Lands for Sale 1910 Central Alberta” map is a testament to the strategic role of the Canadian Pacific Railway in shaping the settlement and development of Western Canada.
