Appendix No. 23. 

 Survey of Township Outlines, District of Sudbury. 



North Bay, January 7th, 1922. 



Sir, — We have the honour to submit the following report on the survey of 

 certain township outlines in the District of Sudbury, made by us in accordance 

 with instructions from your Department, dated May 6th, 1921. 



Leaving North Bay on the 9th of June, with our party, we proceeded to 

 Ramsay Station on the Canadian Pacific Railway, where we had previously 

 sent out supplies and equipment. From this point we portaged along the east 

 boundary of the Townships of Cavell and Edith to the northeast angle of the 

 Township of Edith, which point had been established in our survey of 1920, as 

 the adjacent angle of four townships, i.e., Edith, Fingal, Osway and Esther. 

 This point is in a spruce swamp and is marked by a spruce post bearing the 

 township names, referenced by two bearing trees and witnessed by an iron post 

 and witness monument, thirty-six chains west astronomically therefrom. From 

 this point we commenced the survey. 



The first procedure was to get an astronomical observation on Polaris for 

 azimuth. Having made certain of the bearing we ran west astronomically one 

 mile and twenty-five chains between the Townships of Edith and Esther. From 

 the same point of commencement, we then ran north astronomically between 

 the Townships of Esther and Osway, six miles and nine links to the line run in 

 1920 forming the south boundary of the Township of Fenton. Returning to the 

 line between the Townships of Esther and Edith, where we had left ofif, we con- 

 tinued this line west astronomically to the Woman River. Leaving this line we 

 proceeded by way of the Woman River to the southwest angle to the Township 

 of Edith. From this point we ran north astronomically between the Townships 

 Number 18 and Edith, and intersecting our first base line at six miles two chains 

 and ninety-nine and a half links, which point of intersection established the 

 adjacent angle of the four Townships, 18 Edith, Esther and Fawn. We then 

 continued the line north astronomically between the Townships of Esther and 

 Fawn, six miles and forty-six links, where we intersected the south boundary of 

 the Township of Garnet. Returning to our first base line, where we had dis- 

 continued it at the Woman River, we produced it west astronomically between 

 the Townships of Fawn and 18, to the Meridian run by O. L. S. Speight in 1909. 

 This completed this portion of the work, which had proceeded very slowly owing 

 to the excessive heat and the difficulty of getting and keeping men at this time 

 of the year. 



We then travelled by way of the Woman River to the Woman River Station 

 on the C. P. R. thence to Biscotasing Station and from there proceeded with a 

 reinforced party by canoe via Biscotasing Lake and Flying Post Creek to the 

 southeast angle of the Township of Arbutus, which was also established in our 

 survey of 1920, and marked by an iron post, jack pine post, pits and mounds. 

 From this point we ran a second base line east astronomically between the Town- 

 ships of Yeo and Smuts a distance of six miles. At this six mile post we estab- 

 lished the adjacent angle of the four Townships, i.e., Yeo, Smuts, Invergarry and 

 Chester, from which we then ran south astronomically between the Townships 

 of Smuts and Invergarry one mile. Returning to the southeast angle of Arbutus 

 Township we ran south astronomically between the Townships of Alcona and 

 Smuts six miles, and at this six mile post we established the southwest angle of
