Historique
The Surveys and Mapping Branch was created in 1972 as part of the new Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, continuing the functions of the Surveys section of the former Surveys and Engineering Branch of the Department of Lands and Forests.
Originally, the Branch consisted of six sections - Geographical Referencing, Drafting Services, Cartography, Inventory, Ontario Land Inventory, Cadastral Surveys, and the Ontario Geographical Names Board. Additional sections within the branch included the Ontario Centre for Remote Sensing and the Control Surveys Section, both established in 1974.
In 1979, the various sections of the Branch were reorganized into three main groupings - Mapping Services (renamed Geographic Information Services in 1988), Surveying Services, and the Ontario Centre for Remote Sensing.
Until 1986, the director of the Branch was the Surveyor General of Ontario. After 1986, however, a general Director was established as the head of the entire Branch, while the Surveyor General continued as head of Surveying Services.
In 1988, the Branch was renamed the Surveys, Mapping and Remote Sensing Branch.
The Branch formed a part of the Division of Lands (1972-1977), and the Lands and Waters Group (1977- 1991).
In 1990, the functions of the Surveys and Mapping Branch were assumed by the Land and Resource Information Branch (later renamed the Natural Resources Information Branch).
