The principal Surveys performed during some years past in Upper Canada were chiefly confined to that section of the country lying between the Ottawa River and Georgian Bay, and between the Spanish River, on the north shore of Lake Huron, and Goulais Bay, on Lake Superior. The rapid settlement of the lands along the free grant or colonization roads, has induced the Government to sub­ divide, into farm lots, some of the new townships adjacent thereto. ; and to explore the country for new lines of communication connecting those roads with one another, and with the most eligible harbors on the shores of Lakes Huron and Superior. The townships surveyed in the Huron and Ottawa territory during the past year, as well a~ those enumerated in former Reports, will be found correctly repre­ sented on the accompanying map. The system of subdivision is quite the same throughout the entire territory, and the surveys have been so projected as to accord, in some degree, with that of the older surveyed townships lying to the south the:reof, consisting of Concessions, Lots, and Road allowances. With the view of facilitating the granting of licenses for timber berths, the townships on the north shore of Lake Huron have been surveyed into sections and quarter sections, each regular section containing an area of 640 acres of land, without any allowance for roads. In order to explain more fully the system of surveying carried out, and the subdivisions represented on the accompanying maps, a resum~ of the general instructions issued by the Department to Provincial Land Surveyors, for their guidance in conducting surveys in the Ottawa and Huron territory and on the north shore of Lake Huron, respectively, may be usefully introduced. INSTRUCTIONS FOR SURVEYS OF THE OTTAWA AND HURON TERRITORY. 1st. Ascertain the bearings of all the lines you survey or verify by astrono­ mical observations, and note the variation of the magnetic needle at the places of observation, and whenever there is any remarkable change in its amount. Enter the details of all your astronomical observations in your field book. 2nd. Clear your lines well, and blaze the adjacent trees distinctly, on three sides, i. e., one blaze on each side in the direction of the line, and one on that side by which it passes. 3rd. You will take a backward observation at each station. B vi REMARKS ON UPPER CANADA BUitVEYS, 4th. Verify the length of your chain previous to commenci~g operation~, and frequently during the progress of the survey ; and .pay particular attentton to accuracy in your measurem~nts and to the correct markmg of your posts, to ensure which, you will select your chain-bearers with strict regard to g~od conduct and fitness for duty, employing those onJy on whose honesty and capac1ty you can rely. In all measurements the horizontal distances must be returned. 5th. Your Theodolite must be often examined, to prevent errors which would. arise from the derangement of its adjustments. 6th. Trace all the lines in the middle of the roa.d allowances, plantmg post& at the distance of fifty links from the lines-on both sides thereof; make the posts. of the most durable wood you can find, squaring about two feet of the top, and cutting the numbers of the lots, concessions, &o., with a proper marking iron. The posts at the corners of the Township to be at least six inches square; those at the ends of Concessions five inches ; and the lot posts four inches-all planted firmly in the ground. From the post you plant take the course and . distance to the nearest tree, which you will blaze in a conspicuous manner, and mark B. T. (Boun­ dary Tree). You will enter the courses and distances of those trees from the posts, and their kind and apparent diameter, in your field book. Where a tree stands in the place for a post, blaze it on four sides, and mark it as you would the post. Where they can be had, place stones round the posts at the corners of the Town­ ship. 7th. The regular farm lots are to be 20 chains in breadth by 50 chains in qepth, comaining 100 acres each ; an allowance for road of one chain in width between each alternate concession and every fifth and sixth lot. 8th. If your survey contains an eligible site for a town plot mark it on your plan, and report on its capabilities. 9th. Make a diligent search for, and adhere to, the boundary lines drawn and posts planted in the original survey of the adjacent townships, to prevent encroach· ments. lOth. Traverse any Lakes you may find within the limits of your survey, in order to ascertain the areas of the lots adjoining them. Lay out !'oad allowances round those lakes which your road lines intersect,

The mission of the program is as follows: o To strengthen the Fish and Wildlife Service in its role as a primary source of information on national fish and wild- life resources, particularly in respect to environmental impact assessment. o To gather, analyze, and present information that will aid decisionmakers in the identification and resolution of problems associated with major changes in land and water use. o To provide better ecological information and evaluation for Department of the Interior development programs, such as those relatfng to energy development. Information developed by the Biological Services Program is intended for use in the planning and decisionmaking process to prevent or minimize the impact of development on fish and wildlife. Research activities and technlcal assistance services are based on an analysis of the issues, a determination of the decisionmakers involved and their informatlon needs, and an evaluation of the state of the art to identify information gaps and to determine priorities. This is a strategy that will ensure that the products produced and disseminated are timely and useful.

    A REHABILITATION PLAN FOR WALLEYE POPULATIONS AND HABITATS IN LAKE SUPERIOR Prepared for the Great Lakes Fishery Commission’s Lake Superior Committee and Lake Superior Technical Committee by the Walleye Subcommittee Edited by Michael H. Hoff U.S. Geological Survey Great Lakes Science Center Lake Superior Biological Station 2800 Lake Shore Drive East Ashland, WI 54806 March 2001 Lake Superior Walleye Population and Habitat Rehabilitation Plan TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT 1 INTRODUCTION 2 MANAGEMENT AREAS 3 OBJECTIVES FOR REHABILITATION 4 ISSUES AND STRATEGIES 6 Population Issues and Strategies 6 Habitat Issues and Strategies 7 ROUTINE ASSESSMENT 9 RESEARCH AND ASSESSMENT NEEDS 10 REPORTING 10 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 11 REFERENCES 11 APPENDIX 13 2 Lake Superior Walleye Population and Habitat Rehabilitation Plan ABSTRACT. Walleye (Stizostedion vitreum) was important in regional fisheries in large bays, estuaries, and rivers of Lake Superior, and was important in the fish communities of those systems until overharvest, habitat degradation, poor watershed land use practices, river damming, and pollution caused declines in populations and habitats during the late 1800s and early 1900s. A lakewide goal to aid in recovery of depressed populations of walleye should be to maintain, enhance, and rehabilitate habitat for walleye, and to promote self-sustaining populations in areas where walleyes historically lived. Population objectives to support the goal are to increase abundance of juvenile and adult walleyes in selected areas. Habitat objectives to support the goal include increasing spawning and nursery habitat in four areas, enhancing fish passage, reducing sedimentation, increasing water quality, and reducing contaminants in walleyes. Progress toward achieving the habitat objectives should be measured by increases in spawning and nursery habitats, resolution of fish passage issues, reduction in sediments in rivers, and reductions in contaminant levels in walleyes.
