Appendix No. 27. 

 Survey of the Township of Stoddart, District of Algoma. 



N"ew Ltskeard, Oct. 15th, 1912. 



Sir, — In accordance with instructions dated May 21st, 1912, to survey the 

 Township of Stoddart, in the District of Algoma, along the line of the National 

 Transcontinental Railway, I herewith present my report. 



Practically the whole of the township is good agricultural land, there are 

 scarcely any rock exposures, and while there are what might be termed spruce 

 swamps, these will no doubt dry out as fast as cleared of the timber, as the 

 natural drainage of the township is excellent. There was but one muskeg met 

 with, that being on the line between lots Nos. 24 and 25 on either side of the 

 T.C. Ry. 



The timber as a rule is light and of no material value, a good deal of it 

 is too small for pulpwood, being of quite recent growth, but there are a few 

 patches of spruce that run up to sixteen inches in diameter, although a consider- 

 able quantity of this has been used for bridge timber on the railway construction. 

 Along the shores of the lakes and rivers, considerable cedar of fair size was met 

 with. 



There is quite a large area of water in this township. Lakes St. Joseph and, 

 Pewabiska are the largest bodies. The islands are few, in the former lake there 

 are but two small islands, in the latter only four, within the limits of the township. 

 In Fort Lake is found the largest island, there being fifty-five acres in it. 



Lake Pewabiska can be easily reached from the N.T.C. Railway by boats or 

 launches of small draught, with a little work of blasting and cleaning the channel 

 at one point.
