"This publication on the soils of the Saskatoon map area supersedes Soil Survey of Southern Saskatchewan, Soil Report No. 12 within the confines of the described area. It provides more detailed information on the properties and distribution of soils of the area. A more recent national system of classifying the soils has been utilized in this study. Considerably more information on the suitability of soils to various crops is now available and has been presented. Additional information on the properties of soils of importance for non-agricultural purposes, such as engineering has also been included.
The manner in which the soil report, including the map is used depends somewhat on the nature of the information required by the user as well as familiarity of the user to the terminology occurring in publications of this kind. Users generally unfamiliar with soil survey reports are advised to begin reading the publication "A Guide To Understanding Saskatchewan Soils". The basic concepts presented in that publication will enable most readers to more fully appreciate the contents of this report and soil map. In addition to this, a glossary of terms is presented in this report. ..." Quoted from the Introduction.
