issued. The reconstruction of six dams was recommended. 



A water control study of the lower French River was 

 completed. 



LAND USE STUDIES 



The Canada-Ontario, Rideau-Trent-Severn Study, to which 

 the Section contributed, was completed as was the land-use 

 plan for the North Georgian Bay Recreational Reserve. 



The "Lake Alert Project," a study to determine a method- 

 ology for measuring the capacity of various lakes for summer 

 cottage use was also started. Planning the appropriate future 

 development of the Lake Temagami area of North Bay 

 District also began. 



SURVEYS SECTION 



ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES 



The main responsibilties of the Sub-section are the custody 

 of survey records and the distribution of reproductions for 

 use by government departments and sale to the public, and 

 a similar distribution and sale of maps and publications 

 produced by the Department and maps of the National 

 Topographic Series produced by the Department of Energy, 

 Mines and Resources, Ottawa. 



During the past year, the facilities of the Sub-section have 

 been expanded to include the sale and distribution of county 

 and district maps produced by the Department of Highways. 



An increase in the distribution of maps of the Provincial 

 Topographic Series was due to the production of nine new 

 sheets in the series and seven revised editions. Distribution 

 of the Provincial Territorial Series and of miscellaneous maps 

 also increased. 



An increased distribution of the National Topographic 

 Series was again experienced due to the number of new- 

 sheets in the 1 :50,000 and 1 :25,000 scales. 



Enquiries for historical and genealogical information were 

 received and dealt with. 



There was a considerable increase in the number of plans 

 and field notes of Crown subdivision and retracement sur- 

 veys catalogued and filed in the survey record library. 



The demand for reproductions of plans, field notes and 

 other survey records continued to increase. 



CARTOGRAPHIC MAPPING 



The program of mapping in the one-inch-to-two-miles Pro- 

 vincial Series continued with the production of nine addi- 

 tional maps and the revision of four existing maps in the 

 series. The depicting of survey fabric and the extent of lands 



alienated from the Crown on these maps (begun the previ- 

 ous year) was continued. The demand for maps showing this 

 information was indicated by the increase in sales. The 

 printing of each map had to be increased from 3,000 to 

 5,000 copies.
