DESIGN. COMPILATION AND FAIR DRAWINGS OF MAPS 



Progressive work was carried on throughout the first 9 months of 1962-63 on 

 the preparation of the new muhi-colour base for Map 21 (replacing map 21a) 

 "Southern Part of Ontario", scale 8 miles to 1 inch, of the Territorial Series. 



Much work was involved in the conversion, by photographic methods, of the 

 original base drawings (Black only) to the new Black - Dark Blue basic outlines. 



The work on this map was stopped in December, 1962, due to the necessity 

 of producing Map R 163 "Recreational Areas and Parks" folder. 



Work was continued on the new multi-colour base for Map 23 (replacing 

 map 23a) throughout the first 9 months of the 1962-63 period. It also was stopped 

 relative to producing Map Folder R 163. 



In October, 1962, a small map at a scale of 2 miles to 1 inch was prepared 

 of the Geographical Townships of Bruton and Clyde, as a supplement to the exist- 

 ing map 47a Algonquin Provincial Park. These townships are now included within 

 the limits of the Park. 



In December, 1962, all work in progress was stopped in order to proceed as 

 rapidly as possible with the planning, designing and production of a new map 

 folder now identified as R 163 "Recreational Areas and Parks within a 50 mile 

 radius of Metropolitan Toronto". 



EDITING OF GEOGRAPHICAL NOMENCLATURE ON MAPS 



During the fiscal year, geographical names to appear on new maps, being 

 produced by other departments of federal and provincial governments, were 

 checked for correctness of spelling, form and application of such names. 



The groups of maps are as follows: 



(i) Geological maps — for the Ontario Department of Mines — 11. 



(ii) Maps of the "National Topographic" Series at scale of 1/50000 — 5. 

 (ill) Maps of the "Military Town Plan" Series at scale of 1/25000 — 25. 

 (iv) Marine Charts produced by the Canadian Hydrographic Service, various 

 scales : — 11. 



REFERENCE LIBRARY INFORMATION 



Expansion of the Index of Geographical Names of Ontario has been con- 

 tinued, the majority of such work being the addition of 6000 new entries and 

 2000 entries fully revised, a considerable part of this work was relative to the cross- 

 reference of prefixed names. All names finally approved by the Canadian Perma- 

 nent Contmiittee on Geographical Names were entered into the index currently as 

 received. 



All incoming reference copies of new maps of the National Topographic 

 Series, Military Town Plans and Geological Survey Aeromagnetic Series were 

 indexed and filed.
