Mapped soil components
Components of the mapped units intersecting the indicative farm footprint, including boundary areas.
| Soil component | Mapped surface texture |
|---|---|
| Allendale (ALL) | Loamy fine sand (LFS) |
| Brandon (BDO) | Silty clay loam (SICL) |
| Grenville (GVI) | Loam (L) |
| St. Thomas (SHO) | Loamy fine sand (LFS) |
| Achigan (AHG) | Loamy fine sand (LFS) |
| Cheney (CEY) | Loamy fine sand (LFS) |
| Organic (ZOR) | Organic (ORG) |
The southern edge also intersects a unit labelled Escarpment (ZES). This is a mapped landform category, not a soil texture. Cheney occurs as a component of a St. Thomas / Cheney unit at the southern margin.
How to read this mapping
The footprint was traced from the existing marketing boundary exhibit and compared with Ontario's soil polygons. It is indicative, not a surveyed parcel boundary. The selected provincial records state positional accuracy within 200 metres, so small edge intersections are uncertain. Component proportions in a soil map unit do not establish percentages or acreages within this property.

Severance possibility
Potential future options
More than one path may be possible.
The property includes AG and RU zoned lands that may present severance possibilities for a qualified farmer buyer.*
Farmhouse severance
A farmer buyer who owns other farmland may be able to sever and sell the existing farmhouse located within the AG zone.
Rural frontage
Up to two building lots of approximately two acres each may be possible on the RU zoned frontage south of the drain.
City determination
Whether the farmhouse severance and potential rural building lots can all be completed together is for the City of Ottawa to determine.
