Example Land Report: a Farm Quarter in Lamont County, Alberta
Water and wells
Nearby well records suggest completed wells around 27 m deep, with static water levels often 5–11 m below surface. The predominant aquifer on file is Horseshoe Canyon Formation sandstone and buried-valley sands. Lamont County wraps around Elk Island National Park and the Industrial Heartland, so wells here sit near both heavy industry and protected parkland. Bedrock wells into Horseshoe Canyon sandstone are standard; buried-valley sands give shallower water in places.
Climate and growing season
Hardiness zone 3b, with about 120 frost-free days. Zone 3b and about 110 frost-free days put Lamont in solid grain country. The knob-and-kettle terrain around the park holds frost pockets in the hollows.
