McNabs Island is located at the entrance to Halifax Harbor and is approximately 395 hectares in size. On McNabs Island, the highest elevation is 150 feet. The elevation of this island rises towards the center so that the elevation of the central land is higher than the edge. Furthermore, the proportion of its flat areas is about 20%, which is mainly located on the hills and coastal beaches. The proportion of gentle and moderate slopes is around 25%, and most of them occur in the central area of ​​the island; the percentage of steep slopes is around 30% and is found near and on the coasts. Also, from the slope and elevation map we made earlier, we can tell that the coast has a lower elevation with steep slopes or flat terrain. Cliffs are the steepest places and most of them are located near the coast. They always have a higher elevation with the shortest intervals between contour lines. Flat areas of the shoreline are found primarily around beaches, ponds and wetlands. Valleys are always found in gentle or moderately sloping areas with varying elevations. There are three types of structural materials found on McNabs Island. First, the bedrock which is Halifax Formation slate covers about 70% and the rest is covered by Goldenville Formation quartzite and greywacke. Additionally, McNabs consists primarily of glacial deposits such as drumlins, and some alluvial, littoral marine, lacustrine, and coastal sediments are present. For the soil type of the land, it is mostly covered with Wolfville soil, and this type of soil always has good drainage with light to moderate erosion. Due to the hydrology of the island, there are several wetlands, ponds and streams distributed. The major watershed divisions in McNabs are most...... middle of paper...... about 80% are non-dominant species, and about 10% are spruce, 4% are intolerant red maples and hardwoods and about 2% are intolerant spruces and hardwoods. percent Balsam Fir. Overall, there are some land uses on McNabs Island. Some cultural characteristics occur. An example of the cultural features of McNabs Island is the Maugers Beach Lighthouse on the midwestern edge. This lighthouse is located on land and can observe the surrounding area and can help ships see at night. Furthermore, there are some forts that in the past were placed to guard the entrance to the port. Since McNabs Island is now open to the public, there are some roads and trails intended to aid in visiting the land. Additionally, there are several buildings on the island, but nearly all have been removed due to their poor condition and maintenance costs (Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources), 2005).
