Hydrogeological Map - Edson - Report 79-7

Sep 10, 2026

Uploaded by Mack Lee

This document presents a detailed hydrogeological map of the Edson area in Alberta, Canada, accompanied by explanatory legends and textual information. The map, a product of the Alberta Research Council, with contributions from R.L.J. Vogwill and A.S.R. Beerwald for hydrogeology and cartographic editing by ARC Drafting Services, depicts various geological formations, hydrogeological features, and their associated characteristics. It includes legends for topography, geology (distinguishing between bedrock and drift formations such as Whitlash, Bate, and Alders Group), lithology (shale, limestone, coal, fractured rocks), hydrography (lakes, sloughs, marshes), and hydrogeology. Specifically, it illustrates groundwater divides, flow regimes, and information on wells and artificial works, including Alberta Research Council test wells and water wells with calculated safe yields. The map utilizes a scale in meters and feet, with elevation indicated above mean sea level. The detailed representation aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the hydrogeological conditions in the Edson region, crucial for resource management and planning.
