SURVEYS SECTION 



To preserve the original Crown survey fabric of the province, which is rapidly 

 ?ecoming obliterated the long range programme of retracement surveys and the 

 restoration of original Crown survey points by remonumenting with permanent 

 survey monuments, instructions were issued for the retracement of approximately 

 433 miles of original survey lines. 398 miles were completed during the year along 

 with 23 miles in connection with Crown subdivision surveys. Special instructions 

 were issued to 52 individual Ontario Land Surveyors in private practice for the 

 restoration of original Crown survey points. 



The subdivision survey programme was further reduced during the fiscal year 

 over the previous year insofar as summer resort lots are concerned. A total of 64 

 plans of subdivision were registered containing a total of 963 lots. 



Base maps were prepared for Map Number 21 (replacing Map Number 21 A) 

 "Southern Ontario" of the territorial series on a scale 8 miles to 1 inch. Base maps 

 were also prepared for Map S.165 the first of a series of 4 surficial geology maps of 

 part of Northern Ontario. The features of these maps is dealt with in the report 

 following. 



In an attempt at reducing the number of hours spent in the fair drawing of 

 maps for photo-lithography, a study of the negative Scribing system was under- 

 taken. The system was adopted and the first map "Algonquin Provincial Park" 

 completed in a much shorter time than had been anticipated.
