Section 3.—Federal Government Surveying and Mapping* The needs for maps and surveys of Canada are met mainly by the Department of Energy, Mines and Resources. Although not all Branches of this Department make surveys and compile maps, many of them are involved in such work either wholly or partly. They compile topographical, geological and aeromagnetic maps, aeronautical and hydro- graphic charts, as well as specialized maps showing electoral district boundaries, land use and other features. In carrying out these tasks, the Department is guided partly by long- range plans based on general national needs and partly by requests from private enterprise and other government agencies. Some types of maps and surveys are also produced by ^epared by H. G. Classen, Public Relations and Information Services, Department of Energy, Mines and ReSoUrcyTotttiwa.
