He joined the Manitoba and North-West Territories Survey which had been interrupted by the 1869 Métis uprising. He remained with the government and the railways for over twenty years and carried out many important surveys. In 1893 he went into private practice. He and wife Anne Eliza Cranston (1834-1928) had three children, including Jacob L. Doupe. He was a founding member of the Manitoba Historical Society, in 1879.
