Arbour, J.H.. Land Resources of South East New Brunswick. Environmental Canada. 1980. 80 pp.

This report is one of a series of papers which present various applications of the Canada Geographic Information System (CGIS) to land use problems across Canada. Their intent is to provide users with a description of the situations in which CGIS has proven useful, with the hope of stimulating further thought regarding the utility of such a system in land use analysis. The information contained in this report was compiled as background material for a Regional Development Plan. The region was the South East portion of New Brunswick. This comprised all of Kent County, the parishes of Rogersville and Hardwicke in Northumberland County, the parishes of Botsford, Dorchester, Sackville, Shediac and Westmorland in Westmorland County and the parishes of Harvey, Hillsborough and Hopewell in Albert County. The information was drawn from the Canada Land Data System of Environment Canada and presented as a series of tables and plots. The data was based on the Canada land inventory, describing the capabilities of the land in the region and the various land uses to be found there.
