      Historique

      The Surveys and Patents Branch of the Ontario Department of Lands, Forests and Mines was renamed the Surveys Branch in 1912. The branch remained within the Department of Lands, Forests and Mines until 1920, when it became a part of the Department of Lands and Forests.

      Until 1928, the head of the branch held the title of Director of Surveys. In that year, however, the office of Surveyor General, which had been abolished in 1845, was revived. As such, L.V.Rorke, who had been Director of Surveys was promoted to the position of Surveyor General (with continued responsibility for the direction of the branch) and given Deputy Minister status.

      In 1941, the Department of Lands and Forests was considerably reorganized, and the various branches of the Department were renamed as divisions. With this change, the Surveys Branch was replaced with the Division of Surveys.
