Report of resurvey of Township Boundaries, District of Sudbury, by J. R. Gill, 

 O.L.S., 1929. 



The party left Sudbury via Canadian National Railways on June 10th and 

 detrained at mileage 21 west of Capreol. The work was started from the northerly 

 limit of the boundary between the townships of Creelman and Roberts. After 

 a little difficulty the post at this point was located and the boundary retraced 

 to the south. 



Work was continued southerly, retracing the meridian line as run by O.L.S, 

 Proudfoot in 1888, and along the township boundaries to about midway on the 

 boundary between the townships of Blezard and Rayside. 



About the end of July the party moved to the southerly end of the work, 

 going via Canadian National Railways to Burwash and thence by canoe to 

 Long Lake. The boundary between Humboldt Township and the townships 

 of Kilpatrick and Travers was re-run and a meridian run north to tie to the 

 south-westerly angle of Tilton Township. 



I was unable to find any evidence of the survey between townships 67 and 

 68 or between 59 and 60 in order to make the tie called for in the instructions. 

 A great deal of time was spent endeavouring to get this line but no evidence 

 was found. 



The work was then continued northerly to connect with that done earlier 

 in the season on the boundary between Blezard and Rayside. 



On a great part of the work there was little or no evidence of line, and 

 it often required a considerable time to locate evidence of a post. In some 

 cases posts located were three miles apart. 



The timber plan accompanying these returns is of little value, as commercial 

 timber is practically non-existent. For the most part the country has been 

 burned over once and in some cases many times. This has destroyed nearly all 

 the evidence of the original survey. Also considerable of the land is completely 

 cleared, being under cultivation. 



It seems unnecessary to touch on the geology in this report as the whole 

 area has been covered by geological parties at one time or another. 



All original posts found in poor condition were replaced, and if in good 

 condition a stone cairn was added. Iron posts were planted where called for, 

 and rock posts put in at prominent points on the line.

Line Work, Including Chainage 



By using two first-class brush hook men with Swedish steel hooks, and a 

 general utility man who used the clinometer and pulled a 4-chain chain while 

 the writer ran trial line and acted as rear chainman, the work was speeded up, 

 as the preliminary chainage was always up with the instrument and posts 

 quickly relocated and proper line re-established before the regular chainmen
