The soil surveys characterize Québec soils according to their morphological, physical, and chemical properties. They demonstrate the relative importance of these soils and their distribution across the region.

The original soil survey studies were published by county for the years 1943 to 2017, and used different scales (1:20 000 to 1:63 360, except one at 1:126 720) These studies include an explanatory report and one or more maps showing the distribution of soils in the region, their relative importance, and their land areas. The reports provide a detailed description of the soil series present in each county, an estimate of the agronomic value of these series, and a description of the natural environment.

Step 2. Interpret your slip using explanatory reports
*Available free of charge, by study number and in pdf format.

Consult the list of published soil surveys  and select a survey to receive the report. Don’t know which survey corresponds to your sheet? Consult the Québec soil survey maps. 

The original maps from the various studies were digitized to a single scale (1: 20 000) to produce the new maps. Recognition of the corresponding original study is possible because county boundaries have been retained.

The soil survey reports for Québec are available by map sheet and currently include 680 sheets with a 1:20,000 scale.

These original studies published by county (reports and maps) are available free of charge on the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada website.

The soil data bank 
* To use with Shapefile (shp) format.

Two databases are available to specify the information of the award table.

  • Soil properties of dominant soil. It contains information at the level of the soil family, for example: name of the soil, grain size, sort, order, drainage, method of deposition, etc.
  • Physico-chemical properties per layer. It refers to the analytical results, dating from the 1980s, of certain physical and chemical properties of soil layers, studied in the Inventory of Agricultural Soil Degradation Problems (159 series of soils are represented, about 80% of the cultivated area), for example: percentage of sand, silt, clay, hydraulic conductivity, etc.

It is available free of charge (download) and can be superimposed over the soil survey coverage. This Excel databank consists of two sheets:

  • The first (full soil name) contains information about the soil family, for example, soil name, particle size, type, order, drainage, method of disposition, etc.
  • The second (FCS - soil layer files) refers to the analytical results dating back to the 1980s of certain physical and chemical properties of the soil layers studied during the Inventory of Québec Agricultural Soil Degradation Problems (159 soil series are represented, or about 80% of the cultivated land), for example. percentage of sand, silt, clay, hydraulic conductivity, etc.
