This report presents a methodology to map salinity at a municipal scale and applies this methodology to the Municipal District of Cypress, a rural municipality in southern Alberta. The methodology was developed for the County of Vulcan and is being applied to other Alberta municipalities where soil salinity is a concern.

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows the location and extent of rural municipalities in Western Canada circa late 1950s. County, township and other rural municipalities are indicated. The differences between county and municipal districts in Alberta is that the former has greater powers than the latter, although it does not include any incorporated cities, downs villages in its area. A key table for numbered municipalities is included.

This report presents a methodology to map salinity at a municipal scale and applies this procedure to Special Area 3, a municipality in southern Alberta. The methodology was developed for the County of Vulcan and is being applied to other Alberta municipalities which have identified soil salinity as a concern.

This soil survey report for the Municipal District of Cardston begins with a general description of the survey area. Part 2 contains the descriptions of the principal soils and their respective soil map units. In Part 3, the rationale and actual ratings of the map units for dryland agricuhure, grazing productivity and irrigation capability are explained and displayed. Part 4 describes the areal extent of erosion and salinity within the M.D. and and discusses the impacts of erosion, factors influencing soil degradation and possible management techniques. Appendices include: a brief explanatory section on soil formation and classification for the uninitiated user; analytical procedures employed for determining the physical and chemical properties of the soil series; the areas of the individual soil map units; a glossary of terms used in the report and a key to the soil series used on the soil maps.

Data sourced from https://www.alberta.ca/maps/covid-19-status-map.htm.

This dataset shows the level of risk in regions and information about local health measures. It also shows the rate of COVID-19 cases and the number of active cases.

Regions are defined by municipal boundaries. Each region is either:

- a municipality of 10,000 or greater population: a city, town or municipal district (or county)
- communities smaller than 10,000 are included in the surrounding municipal district. Communities include First Nations reserves, Metis Settlements and towns.

Regions are designated as open, watch or enhanced relaunch status. All regions must continue to follow Alberta’s public health measures and guidelines, regardless of relaunch status.

Alberta Survey Control Marker (ASCM) index maps are a graphical representation of the provincial spatial referencing system. The index maps display the location of integrated ASCMs in relation to various base mapping features including the Alberta Township System, hydrography, geo-administrative boundaries (Municipal and Canada lands), road networks, railways, and airports. In addition, index maps covering urban areas include street names, networks, and major facilities (schools, hospitals, etc.). Only those markers with a marker condition of GOOD or ANOMALOUS are displayed on the index maps. ASCM index maps are available from https://www.alberta.ca/geodetic-control-unit.aspx#toc-3.
