We initiated and completed Phase 2 of the Lake Alert 

 Project which is a research study to determine an 

 appropriate methodology for measuring appropriate lake 

 development capacities for Crown areas. Basically, we are 

 looking for the appropriate level of cottage development on 

 a given lake that will not impair the natural environment. 



INTER DEPARTMENTAL CO-ORDINATION 



As Crown land is a major input into the production of 

 goods and services provided by other agencies of 

 government, our planning for the use of Crown land must 

 be co-ordinated with theirs. 



Official Plans. We provided assistance in the form of 

 background resource data to a number of Planning Boards 

 preparing Official Plans under the Planning Act. 



Regional Development Plans. We participated with the 

 Regional Development Branch in analysing Phase 1 reports 

 for the Lake Erie, Lake St. Clair, Lake Ontario, Eastern 

 Ontario, Georgian Bay and North Eastern Ontario Regions. 



We also seconded one of our key staff, along with part 

 time support, to the Branch to assist in the Phase 3 

 Refinement of the Toronto Centred Region Plan. 



Our staff also participated in the work of the two 

 Inter-Departmental Liaison Committees for Regional 

 Development including the efforts of a variety of Task 

 Forces. An environmental background appraisal for the 

 counties of Elgin and Middlesex was completed for that 

 portion of the Erie Region at the request of the Erie 

 Economic Council. 



Miscellaneous Planning. We assisted other agencies in 

 planning areas of Provincial significance. This included a 

 re-assessment of the Gertler Report for the Niagara 

 Escarpment, participation in the Environmental Appraisal 

 for the Haldimand-Norfolk Study, and the report for the 



Rideau-T rent-Severn Area. The planning of two extensions 

 to the CORTS area, namely Lake Simcoe and the Bay of 

 Quinte, was started. 



Subdivision Plans. We analysed proposed, private 

 subdivision plans for summer cottage purposes from the 

 standpoint of their affects on our objectives and the natural 

 environment.

SURVEYS AND ENGINEERING BRANCH 



SURVEYS SECTION 



ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES 



The Subsection is responsible for administrative support 

 service; custody of survey records; and the distribution and 

 sale of reproductions. Department pubUcations, and of 

 printed maps produced by the Department and the 

 Department of Transportation and Communications, and 

 those of the National Topographic Series. During the past 

 year, the lake contour series, produced by Sport Fisheries 

 Branch, was included. 



A marked increase (46 per cent) in the sale of maps of 

 the Provincial Topographic Series in the past year indicated 

 public acceptance of these maps which now show survey 

 fabric and the extent of lands alienated from the Crown. 



Enquiries for historical and genealogical information 

 continued to be dealt with. Cataloguing and filing of survey 

 plans, field notes and other survey records was continued. 



DRAFTING SERVICES 



The Subsection is responsible for the production of plans of 

 townships and unsurveyed territory maintained as an 

 up-to-date graphic inventory of Crown land; plans to be 

 used for iUustrating parcels of land to be patented, leased, 

 licensed and otherwise disposed of; plans iUustrating parcels 

 of land to be set aside for various specified purposes such as 

 provincial parks, or to be subject to hunting and fishing 

 regulations; and, study plans, special use plans, charts. 



graphs and miscellaneous drafting both for the Branch, 

 Department and, on occasion, for other departments. The 

 Subsection compiles the land status information required 

 for the preparation of the new, and revision of existing, 

 one-inch-to-two-mile Provincial Topographic Series maps. 



CARTOGRAPHIC MAPPING 



The one-inch-to-two-mile Provincial Series mapping of 

 Northern Ontario continued with production of eight new 

 maps in the Thunder Bay, Rainy River and Kenora Districts 

 and the revision of seven existing maps. As maps of this 

 series are revised, survey fabric is added, together with 

 colour, depicting lands separated from the Crown, to 

 conform with the new maps of the series. The foUowing 

 maps were produced: 



Heaven Lake; Rat Portage; Northwest Angle; Stratton; 

 GuU River; Mount Royal; Thunder Bay; Kaministikwia; 

 Sault Ste Marie (2nd edition); Michipicoten (2nd edition); 

 Gogama (4th edition); Chapleau (3rd edition); Calstock 

 (2nd edition); Biscotasing (2nd edition); and Bark Lake 

 (2nd edition). 



Total coverage of the Province with one-inch-to-eight- 

 mile 'Territorial Series' maps was realized with the printing 

 of Map 26 "Kenora Patricia Portion — Northeast". Another 

 map of this series, Map 24 "Kenora — Rainy River" was 

 updated and printed, while Map 21 "Southern Ontario" 

 was being entirely remade.
