Screen shot of the Soils Information Finder Tool (SIFT) Map Application showing the portion of the province that is covered by soils survey mapping. Approximately 2/3 of the province mostly in the south and central areas have detailed soil surveys. There are notable gaps on the north coast, Haidai Gwaii, the north Peace, and the South East. The image is a button to launch the map application where users can explore and interact with map data.
