Priced to sell — and a great opportunity whether you are a first-time buyer, looking to downsize, or adding to your investment portfolio. This 1976 mobile home offers 882 square feet with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, and just like the land it sits on, it is yours outright — no trailer park, no lot fees. Inside, the south-facing living room sits at the front of the home with views out over the CN Reservoir — a lovely spot to relax any time of day. The eat-in kitchen keeps things practical and functional, and the primary bedroom at the back of the unit offers plenty of closet space along with access to the back deck, which is a great spot for the BBQ or catching some shade on a warm afternoon. The property is partially fenced and the current tenant has added some nice edging and garden beds, giving the yard a tidy, cared-for feel. There is a storage shed on site, and while the detached single car garage was taken apart this past spring, the frame is still in place and could be rebuilt by a new owner. The property is currently tenant occupied — 24 hours notice is required for all showings — however the tenant will be vacating as of July 1, opening the door for quick possession shortly after. Additionally, the seller has no knowledge of how the unit is secured to the ground or what it is sitting on beneath the home. Buyers are encouraged to inspect the underside themselves, or have a qualified professional do so, prior to submitting an offer.

Topsoil Depth (in) Alberta

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.

Topsoil Depth (in) Saskatchewan

Understanding Topsoil Depth in Saskatchewan: Insights from AAFC SLC Version 3.2 Data
Topsoil depth is a fundamental factor for agricultural productivity, impacting water retention, nutrient availability, and root development. The provided map of Saskatchewan illustrates the topsoil depth in inches, showing regional variations across the province. This analysis is based on data from the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) Soil Landscapes of Canada (SLC) Version 3.2.
Key Observations
- Northern Saskatchewan:
- Shallow Topsoil: The northern regions, including areas around Prince Albert and La Ronge, generally have shallower topsoil depths, ranging from 4 to 8 inches. This is due to the rocky and forested terrain, which limits soil accumulation.
- Impact on Agriculture: Shallow topsoil in these areas is less suitable for intensive agriculture, supporting mainly natural vegetation and forested land.
- Central Saskatchewan:
- Moderate Topsoil: Central Saskatchewan, including areas around Saskatoon and North Battleford, shows moderate topsoil depths, generally between 5 to 8 inches. This region supports diverse agricultural activities due to its relatively fertile soils.
- Agricultural Productivity: The moderate topsoil depth in central regions supports the growth of various crops, contributing significantly to the province’s agricultural output.
- Southern Saskatchewan:
- Variable Topsoil Depths: Southern regions, such as Moose Jaw and Regina, exhibit variable topsoil depths ranging from 5 to 9 inches. These areas are productive for agriculture but may require careful soil management practices.
- Agricultural Suitability: The variability in topsoil depth affects crop selection and soil conservation practices in these regions.
Regional Analysis
Northern Forested Areas
- Topsoil Characteristics: The shallow topsoil in northern Saskatchewan is a result of the rocky terrain and forested landscape, which limit the development of deep soils.
- Natural Vegetation: These areas are more suited to forest growth and natural ecosystems rather than large-scale agriculture.
Central Agricultural Belt
- Fertile Plains: The central regions benefit from moderate topsoil depth, which is ideal for crop production and supports Saskatchewan’s agricultural economy.
- Soil Conservation: Maintaining topsoil depth through conservation practices is essential for sustaining long-term agricultural productivity in these areas.
Implications for Agriculture
- Soil Management: Understanding topsoil depth is crucial for effective soil management practices, including crop selection, irrigation, and fertilization.
- Agricultural Planning: Farmers can use this data to optimize their farming practices, ensuring that they choose crops suited to the available topsoil depth and implement appropriate soil conservation measures.
- Water Retention and Nutrient Availability: Deeper topsoil improves water retention and nutrient availability, essential for healthy crop growth and high yields.
Conclusion
The topsoil depth map of Saskatchewan reveals significant regional variations influenced by geographical features and soil characteristics. 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 agricultural productivity in Saskatchewan.

Canadian Prairie Soil Map: Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba

Canadian Prairie Soil Map: Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba
The Canadian Prairie Soil Map provides a detailed overview of the soil types and their distribution across the three prairie provinces: Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. This map is a crucial resource for understanding the soil landscape, which has significant implications for agriculture, land management, and environmental conservation.
Key Features of the Map
- Soil Great Groups:
- The map categorizes soils into great groups, each represented by distinct colors and patterns. These classifications include Organic Cryosol, Brunisolic, Chernozemic, Gleysolic, Lucisolic, and solonetzic.
- Black Chernozem: Found primarily in agricultural areas, these soils are rich and fertile, ideal for crop production.
- Luvisol: Typically located in forested regions, these soils are essential for forestry and agriculture.
- Geographical Distribution:
- The map covers a vast area, illustrating the differences in soil types across the prairies. It highlights the transition from fertile agricultural lands to forested regions and the northern tundra.
- Prairie Provinces: The map shows the extensive agricultural zones in the southern parts of the provinces and the diverse soil types that support various land uses.
- Soil Properties:
- Information on soil properties such as texture, color, and organic content is included, providing insights into soil fertility and suitability for different types of crops and vegetation.
- Gleysolic Soils: Indicated in areas with poor drainage, these soils are often found in low-lying regions and require careful management for agriculture.
Importance of the Map
- Agricultural Planning:
- Farmers and agronomists can use this map to identify the best areas for crop production based on soil type and properties. It helps optimize crop selection, irrigation, and fertilization practices to enhance productivity.
- Environmental Conservation:
- Understanding soil distribution is essential for environmental conservation. The map helps identify areas that need protection and sustainable management practices to prevent soil degradation and erosion.
- Land Management:
- The map is a valuable tool for land managers and policymakers. It supports decisions regarding land use, conservation strategies, and sustainable agricultural practices to maintain soil health and productivity.
Conclusion
The Canadian Prairie Soil Map is an essential resource for anyone involved in agriculture, land management, and environmental conservation in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. By providing detailed information on soil types and properties, it aids in making informed decisions for sustainable land use and agricultural productivity.
