      History

      The Division of Surveys of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests was renamed the Division of Surveys and Engineering in 1944, when it was given responsibility over the leasing of water power on Crown lands and authority to approve plans for the construction of dams.

      The Division was headed by C.H. Fullerton (1944-1947), and by F.W. Beatty from 1947-1957.

      The Division consisted of two sections - the Ground Surveys Section and the Aerial Surveys Section.

      On December 1, 1957, the Division of Surveys and Engineering and the Division of Lands were amalgamated under the title of the Division of Surveys (renamed the Lands and Surveys Branch in 1960).
