Appendix No. 23. 

 Township of Godfrey, District of Sudbury. 



Toronto, Ont., March 18th, 1908. 



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

 of the township of Godfrey, in the District of Sudbury. 



The subdivision of this township was begun on the 4th of November, 

 and completed on the 21st. December, 1907. 



The ground was frozen to a depth of a few inches and the lakes were all 

 frozen over early in November, but the Mattagami River did not freeze 

 until near the end of the same month. 



All crossings and traverses were performed on the ice which facilitated 

 matters considerably. 



For descriptive purposes this township may be divided into three parts 

 running north and south : viz, : the eastern, central and western. 



(a) The eastern part consists of lots one, two and part of lot three, from 

 the south boundary as far north as the Mattagami River. 



The surface is rolling and is well drained by the Waterhen Creek and 

 a number of small tributaries. 



The soil is mostly too light for agricultural purposes, running from 

 sand to sandy loam. 



It is thickly covered with spruce, four inches to ten inches, balsam 

 four inches to eight inches, throughout : poplar four- inches to ten inches 

 and birch three inches to seven inches on the knolls, jackpine four inches 

 to ten inches (banksian pine) on the sandy portions and cedar three inches 

 to nine inches along the Mattagami River.
