These maps were prepared by the Topographical Survey of Canada, Department of the Interior, Ottawa
They also carry on the back of the map a report on the township looking at accessibility and roads, towns and villages, Surface, surface covering, drainage and water, soil, settlement, crops and stock, hay and winter feed, fuel and schools and post offices. Most reports were signed by R.H. Knight, a Dominion Land Surveyor.
The 49th Township maps cover an area near the AB Sask border 6 miles south of Lloydminster over to 16 miles south of Vegreville.
Our apologies that some of the maps have text from the back of the map bleeding into the front. The original maps were very thin onionskin paper and it was difficult to stop the bleed from happening.
