Map Publications and Geographic Nomenclature 



Due to the necessity of completing the work required for the nomenclature 

 shown on the map sheets of the Forest Resources Inventory much of the regular 

 work of this office has been held in abeyance, thereby reducing the volume of work 

 ordinarily presented as accomplished during a year's time. Noted below are the 

 details of the major portions of such work: 



494 map sheets of the Forest Inventory series were checked and completed 

 regarding the nomenclature with attendant referencing, etc., from all known sources 

 of information. 



Complete lists of names were compiled for use in the compilation of 6 topo- 

 graphic maps (at 2 m. to 1") being produced by the Army Survey Establishment, 

 Department of National Defence. 



At the request of Federal mapping offices, 12 other maps of the National 

 Topographic Series were checked for revised nomenclature prior to new editions 

 being produced; also 2 Hydrographic charts were treated in the same manner. 



Steady progress has been made on the revision of the topography and nomen- 

 clature of our own map No. 24B of the Districts of Algoma, Sudbury, Timiskaming 

 and parts of Districts of Cochrane and Nipissing; this large map, at the scale of 

 8 miles to 1 inch, will be completed and reproduced during 1951 and will present in 

 reduced scale the major detail shown on the Forest Inventory base maps.
