Abstract
The Dominion Land Survey Grid used in the surveying of the Canadian Great Plains was largely responsible for the orderly settlement of our prairies. It also played a major role in determining agricultural policy and agricultural practice.In light of recent discussions concerning the expansion of the surveying professions' role back into land management, this paper retrospectively examines the inadvertent, undesirable influences the grid had on the orientation of windbreaks and shelter belts and upon expansion of halomorphic soils on our agricultural lands.Based upon these examples it is suggested that land planning and management should become an important component in surveying education.
