    SOILS REPORT No. 13 1962 Report of DETAILED-RECONNAISSANCE SOIL SURVEY of SWAN RIVER MAP SHEET AREA BY W. A. EHRLICH, L. E. PRATT and F. P. LECLAIRE With a Soi1 Map covering Townships 32 to 42 in Ranges 24 to 29 west of the Principal Meridian, exclusive of those portions in forest reserves. MANITOBA SOIL SURVEY CANADA DEPARTMENT of AGRICULTURE, MANITOBA DEPARTMENT of AGRICULTURE AND CONSERVATION, LANDS BRANCH, MANITOBA DEPART~~ENT of MINES AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AND DEPARTMENT OF SOIL SCIENCE, THE UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA. Report published by the Manitoba Departmeni of Agriculture and Conservation. Map published by Canada Department of Agriculture. Preface THE DETAILED RECONNAISSANCE SOIL SURVEY of the Swan River Map Sheet Area is the thirteenth of a series of reports devoted to the description of the soils of Manitoba as determined through the work of the Manitoba Soi1 Survey. The abject of the survey was to obtain the essential facts about the soils of the area- their kind, distribution and agricultural features. The publication consists of two parts: a coloured soi1 map and a report. In the survey of the Swan River map area, various mapping units were used in different portions of the mapped area. This procedure enabled the use of the mapping units best suited to the different patterns of soi1 variation throughout the area. Soi1 series and phases of series were mapped on the lacustrine deposits of the lowland area, where individual series and phases occur in large continuous areas. Soi1 associations and complexes were mapped on the mountain slopes and on boulder till deposits in the lowland area, Here the individual soi1 series occur in intricate patterns and could not be mapped separately on a reconnaissance survey.
