Soil information for some RM's will be available only through Map Sheet format reports, while other RM's will have individual RM soil reports. The listing of Detail Map Sheet soil reports for the remainder of the agricultural area occurs at the end of the listing for Detail RM soil reports. One other atlas report was published for an area in west-central Saskatchewan and includes RMs 379, 380 and 409. Each atlas report consists of a group of four RMs and each atlas report has been placed in the list of RM format soil reports according to the first RM number of each atlas. Exceptions to this order of listing occur in an area in southeast Saskatchewan where four atlas-format RM soil reports were published. The listing of Detail RM soil reports and maps for the agricultural area is organized according to RM number (in Soil Survey report title) in ascending order. For example, a soil may start out with an initial soil capability rating of Class 3M (moderate moisture limitation), but if the soil occurs on a landscape with strong (10 - 15%) slopes, the final Soil Capability rating would be lowered to Class 4T (severe topography limitation). One important distinction between the two formats of soil reports is that the Map Sheet Area soil reports indicate the initial soil capability of a soil landscape within a soil polygon, whereas the RM format soil reports indicate the final soil capability for each soil polygon, by considering all soil and landscape limitations. In such cases, the updated RM soil map extends into the Map Sheet Area, and results in a change to the original rectangular shape of the map sheet, as shown on the color-themed Detailed Soil Surveys in Saskatchewan Index. ![]() In cases where a RM would straddle a map sheet boundary, that portion of the RM that occurred in the map sheet area as well as outside the map sheet was combined to produce an entire RM soil map. Although Map Sheet Area maps were published at scales of 1:126,720 or 1:125,000, and RM maps were published at a scale of 1:100,000, the detail of mapping was similar this group of reports and maps is collectively referred to as the Detailed 1:100,000 soil map coverage for agricultural Saskatchewan. Approximately 35% of the agricultural area is covered by Map Sheet Area format soil reports and maps with the remainder of the area being covered by RM format soil reports and maps. Soil mapping was undertaken in individual Rural Municipalities (RM's) starting in the early 1980's the resulting reports and maps are referred to as RM Soil Reports and Maps. Early Detail soil mapping (starting in 1958) was undertaken on an area the size of a 1:250,000 NTS map sheet the published soil reports and maps are referred to as Map Sheet Area Reports and Maps. These reports and maps are the most detailed hard copy soil survey information available for agricultural Saskatchewan.
