Land Surveyor's Office of the Department of Natural Resources.
Following initial contact with the Department, and the exchange of any
useful information, the private Land Surveyor can immediately proceed
with the survey of his client's lands.
Crown land survey information that would be helpful in carrying out
the survey of the adjoining property will be provided upon request and
