The Land Surveys Of Ontario 1750–1980. Sebert, L M Cartographica: The International Journal for Geographic Information and Geovisualization, 17(3):65–106, September, 1980. 00012 Publisher: University of Toronto Press![The Land Surveys Of Ontario 1750–1980 [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex The author discusses land survey systems in the lands bordering the northern shores of the Great Lakes from the late 18th century through to the present day. In the early period during the French regime settlement was discouraged in favour of the fur trade and, consequently, very little surveying was done. After the fall of Quebec, the British continúed this land survey policy until the arrival of the Loyalists during and after the American Revolution forced the opening of Ontario to settlement. The policy of the British administrations in Canada was always to survey settlement land before it was occupied by surveying farm lots within townships, a practice that continued until 1935. Surveys made during these township subdivisions were consequently used to produce the first maps of Ontario, and in many areas they remained the only detailed maps until the topographical surveying of Canada was commenced in 1904.
