Photographs of surveys in the Northern Interior
The file consists of 21 photographs showing survey work in the Northern Interior region of British Columbia, primarily in the Nechako Region. The majority of the photographs are identified with captions (see file list below). The photographs show the routine work of surveyors, but are not surveying photographs.
The file consists of the memoirs of James A. Pedley, who emigrated from England in 1912, worked on Grand Trunk Pacific construction near Tete Jaune Cache, served overseas, pre-empted land in the Uncha Valley, then joined the B.C. Forest Service, initially at Southbank, in 1927.
