Survey of a Meridiax and Base Line ix the Districts of Kenoua, 

 Thunder Bay and Patricia. 



- . . TH'ESSALon, February 5th, 1920. 



SiR,^-In accordance with your instructions dated April 15th, 1919, I have 

 completed the survey of a meridian and base line in the Districts of Kenora, 

 Thunder Bay and Patricia, and beg to submit the following report. 



The meridian line was the northerly extension of the boundary between the 

 Districts of Kenora and Thunder Bay, and was commenced at the northerly 

 extremity of the portion of the said boundary which was run as far as the 120th 

 mile in 1900, by the late A. Mven, O.L.S. The meridian line crossed the 

 narrows of Lake St. Joseph, entering the district of Patricia, near the 62nd 

 mile, and was continued into the district of Patricia as far as the 120th mile. From 

 this point a base line was run due west, on six mile chords of a parallel of latitude, 

 for a distance 6f 40 miles, the 40th mile coming in a fairly large river which 

 enters Cat Lake from the north. The starting point of the meridian line is 

 located about eight miles north of Sturgeon Lake. Sturgeon Eiver was crossed 

 just north of the 2nd mile post, and the Canadian Government Eailway was 

 crossed at 12 miles 9.39 chains, at a point 19.35 chains east of Fowler Station. 



The meridian line was run north astronomically, and was well cut out and 

 blazdd. A substantial wooden post of the best timber available was planted at 

 the end df'feVery mile, excepting where the end of a mile came in a lake or stream. 

 Wherever this occurred, a post was planted on the nearest shore and the number 

 of the nearest mile together with the distance from that mile was marked on the 

 post with a scribing iron. Every regular post had the number of the mile marked 

 thereon with a scribing iron. At the end of every third mile on the meridian 

 line, an iron post was planted beside the wooden one, and the number of the mile 

 marked thereon with a cold chisel. In case the end of a mile requiring an iron
