Control Traverse Survey 

 Lake St. Joseph 



The part of Lake St. Joseph (Ele. 1218) surveyed under these instructions 

 is navigable for large boats and launches. The water of the lake is clear and deep 

 and the bays generally free from muddy bottom. 



The country in the vicinity of the lake on the westerly shore is of sandy 

 soil with occasional outcroppings of rock. The timber about the lake consists 

 chiefly of young growth poplar and birch, interspersed with quantities of spruce, 

 suitable for pulpwood. 



Along the easterly shore the banks are from three to ten feet in height 

 with outcroppings of greenstone rock formation. The timber is young growth 

 poplar, birch, spruce and balsam. 



At the northerly end of this portion of Lake St. Joseph there is a portage 

 about 60 chains in length, and following a north-westerly direction to Dog 

 Hole Lake. 



Dog Hole Lake 



Dog Hole Lake (Ele. 1225) has an approximate water area of 2,500 

 acres and contains many islands of varying sizes. It is shallow, with muddy 

 bottom, and in low water period would be difficult to navigate in many places 

 with canoes. 



The timber about the lake shore is chiefly young growth spruce, poplar 

 and balsam, the spruce being of sufficient size for pulpwood. 



At the north-westerly side of the Lake will be found a small river about 60 

 chains in length and flowing in a south-easterly direction and connects these 

 waters with Annimwash Lake. 



Annimwash Lake 



Annimwash Lake (Ele. 1231) lies in a south-westerly direction for a distance 

 of about four and a half miles from its outlet, and together with this has a narrow 

 body of water reaching in a north-easterly direction for one and a half miles 

 from its outlet. Its width would average three-quarters of a mile. 



The lake in general is deep and can be navigated by small boats and launches. 

 There are some shallow rock places and muddy bays. 



The shores are from three to ten feet in height and made up of sandy soil 

 and scattered rock exposures. 



The timber nearby the lake consists principally of young growth spruce, 

 poplar and balsam. The spruce is of merchantable value. 



At the west shore of Annimwash Lake will be found a small stream about 

 2 miles in length and flowing in an almost due east course, draining the water 

 from Kasagiminnis Lake. This river is shallow with muddy and boulder bottom 

 and has a sluggish current. The banks are low and marshy with scattered 

 outcroppings of granite rock formation. The timber is chiefly young growth 

 spruce and poplar.
