| Summary Abstract: | This Report presents the findings of a soil survey undertaken in July & August 1954 in the Baixa Cassanje area, in the north-central region of Angola. The objective of the survey was to assess the suitability of the land for cotton production. The survey was carried-out at an exploratory and reconnaissance level; and the soil units identified were grouped into 33 soil complexes, which are broadly described in the report. Catenary and Non-catenary complexes were used as soil mapping units, and these are shown in the Preliminary Soil Map, at 1:1M scale, which is found at the rear of the report, together with two other maps, at 1:2M scale: Geological and Hypsometric maps. |
