Survey of Township Outlines in District of Sudbury. 



Toronto, December 27th, 1921. 



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

 certain township outlines at the head waters of the Missinaibi River in the 

 District of Sudbury, performed under instructions from your Department, 

 dated 15th April, 1921, and supplementary instructions dated 14th July, 1921. 



Upon receipt of the instructions, we proceeded with the purchase of supplies 

 and the organization of the necessary party, and on the 4th June, two canoe 

 loads of supplies were sent from Missinaibi Station on the Canadian Pacific 

 Railway to Little Missinaibi Lake, which lay in the centre of the projected work. 

 These supplies were sent in via Dog Lake, Crooked Lake, Missinaibi Lake and 

 the Little Missinaibi River. On the ninth of the month the main party left 

 Missinaibi by way freight for mileage 1413^ on the C. P. R. From that point 

 Bolkow Lake was reached over a half mile of waggon road, and through the 

 courtesy of Messrs. Austin and Nicholson, the party and supplies were towed 

 eight miles to the head of the lake, by one of the launches used by them on the 

 lake. The southwast corner of the Township of Lang, where our work com- 

 menced, is about three miles east of the head of the lake, and by the night of the 

 tenth the party was camped on the banks of Rock Creek, within reach of the 

 corner. 



The next day a commencement was made on the season's work, and the 

 line between Townships Forty-one and Addison was carried south to the shores 

 of Rock Lake, from the corner of the Township of Lang, defined by us the previous 

 summer. The meridian between Townships Forty-one and Addison was con- 

 tinued south to intersect the north boundary of the Township of Buckland, run 

 in 1920 by O.L.S. Fitzgerald. The intersection is eleven chains and thirteen 

 and a half links (11.135 chs.) east of the northwest corner of that township. 



Posts of the most durable wood obtainable were planted at the end of each 

 mile and marked with the mileage from the north end of the line. At the end of 

 the third mile, and at the north boundary of the Township of Buckland, the iron 

 posts, supplied by your Department, were planted, and referenced with pits and 

 mounds according to your instructions. 



The boundary between the Townships of Missinaibi and Abbey was then 

 run eastward a distance of six miles, from the northeast angle of the Township 

 of Lang. The six mile point fell in the Little Missinaibi River, just where it 

 leaves the lake of that name. Wooden witness posts were planted on the 

 banks of the river, where they are intersected by this boundary and by the 

 other boundaries run from the corner. The iron post was planted on the meridian 

 between the Townships of Missinaibi and Admiral, six chains north of the 

 corner. The boundary between the Townships of Abbey and Clifton was next 

 run south from the six mile point to the intersection of the boundary between 

 the Townships of Abbey and Addison, which was run eastward from the south- 

 east angle of the Township of Lang. This corner also lay in water, there being at 

 the point of intersection, a pond about five chains across. The iron post was 

 planted south of the pond and wooden posts on the other three sides. The 

 meridian was then continued south between the Townships of Addison and 

 Chaplin to the north boundary of the Township of Ramsden. Returning to 

 the southeast corner of the Township of Abbey, the line between the Townships 

 of Clifton and Chaplin was run eastward as far as the three mile post.
