SUEVEY OF AN ADDITION TO THE TOWNSHIP OE NePIGON, DISTRICT OF 



Thunder Bay. 



NiPiGON, Ont., June 15th, 1916. 



Sir, — I beg to submit herewith a report on the survey of an addition to the 

 township of Nepigon in the district of Thunder Bay, surveyed by me under in- 

 structions from the Department of Lands and Forests dated Toronto, March 21st, 

 1916. This survey consisted of the addition of four concessions to the old township 

 of Nepigon, numbered A-^I, VII, YIII and IX, with sixteen lots in each concession. 

 This addition is bounded on the south by the township of Lyon, on the north by the 

 township of Booth and on the west by unsurveyed lands. 



Pursuant to instructions, I commenced my survey at a post planted by O.L.S., 

 Scott to mark the northwest angle of lot 14 in the 5th concession. From that point 

 I ran my side line between lots 14 and 15 west astronomically 4 miles, planting a 

 post at the end of each mile. From the several mile posts on that side line I ran my 

 concession lines south astronomically to intersect the north boundary of the township 

 of Lyon, and north astronomically to intersect the south boundary of the township 

 of Booth — with the exception that I ran the west boundary of Nepigon township 

 north and south astronomically from the side line between lots 12 and 13, rather 

 than from the line between lots 14 and 15, this having been found to be the more 

 accurate and practicable method on the ground. 



I ran the side lines in these concessions between lots 12 and 13, 10 and 11, 8 and 

 9, 6 and 7, 4 and 5 and 2 and 3 west astronomically from the posts planted by O.L.S. 

 Scott on the west boundary of concession V, or from points on said boundary re- 

 established by me. With regard to the said west boundary of concession V — this line 

 had been run in 1873, But three of the original posts could be found, one of these 

 being a half mile post, this having undoubtedly been planted in error for it was 

 planted where no post should have been planted and was then incorrectly marked as 

 well. I re-ran the entire length of this boundary. Settlers had taken up the lots in
