Historique
The Surveying Department-Canada West was established in 1845 as a branch within the Department of Crown Lands for the Province of Canada. This branch was formed in large part from the staff of the former Surveyor General's Office for Upper Canada, which had been abolished in 1845. A Surveying Department-Canada East was also established at this time.
The head of the Surveying Department- Canada West, was Andrew Russell, who held the title of Senior Surveyor and Draftsman.
In 1860, the name of the branch appears to have changed to the Upper Canada Surveyors and Patents Branch. At this time, Thomas Devine replaced Andrew Russell as the head of the branch, and assumed the title of Head of Surveys.
With Confederation in 1867, the branch was continued as the Surveys Branch of the Ontario Department of Crown Lands.
