This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project 
to make the world's books discoverable online. 

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject 
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books 
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover. 

Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the 
publisher to a library and finally to you.

RESULTS OF SPIRIT LEVELING IN ARIZONA, 1899 
TO 1915, INCLUSIYE. 



R. B. Marshall, Chief Geographer. 



INTRODUCTION. 

Previous publication, — ^All results of spirit leveling in Arizona pre- 
viously published by the United States Geological Survey in Bulletin 
463 and all the results of later work are included in this report. The 
elevations are now based on heights of bench marks along the precise- 
level line of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey from 
San Diego, Cal., via Mellen and Flagstaff, Ariz., to Albuquerque, 
N. Mex., as adjusted by the Coast and Geodetic Survey in 1912, and 
on the precise line of the Geological Survey between Yuma, Ariz., 
and the Arizona-New Mexico line. 

Personnel. — ^The field work previous to 1903 was done imder the 
general direction of R. U. Goode, geographer; that for 1903 to 1906, 
mclusive, under E. M. Douglas, geographer; that for 1907 under 
R. B. Marshall, geographer; and the later work under T. G. Gerdine 
and G. R. Davis, geographers, under the general direction of R. B. 
Marshall, chief geographer. The names of the respective levelmen 
are given in the introductions to the several lists. The office work of 
computation, adjustment, and preparation of lists was done mainly 
by S. S. Gannett, geographer, under the general direction of E. M. 
Douglas, geographer. 

Classification. — ^The elevations are classified as precise or primary, 
according to the methods employed in their determination. For 
precise-level lines instruments and rods of the highest grade are used, 
each line is run both forward and backward, and every precaution is 
taken to guard against error. The allowable divergence between the 
forward and the backward lines in feet is represented by the formula 
0.017 VD, in which D is the distance in miles between bench marks. 
For primary lines standard Y levels are used; lines are run in cir- 
cuits or are closed on precise lines, with an allowable closing error in 
feet represented by 0.05 -v^, in which D is the length of the circuit 
in miles, sufficient care being given to the work to maintain this 
standard. For levels of both classes careful office adjustments are 
made, the small outstanding errors being distributed over the lines.

6 SPIBIT LEVELING IN ABIZONA, 189^1915. 

Befnch marks. — ^The standard bench marks are of two forms. The 
first form is a circular broiize or aluminum tablet {C and E, PL I), 
3i inches in diameter and one-quarter inch thick, having a 3-inch 
stem, which is cemented in a drill hole in solid rock in the wall of 
some public building, a bridge abutment, or other substantial masonry- 
structure. The second form (F, PI. I), used where masonry or rock 
is not available, consists of a hollow wrought-iron post 3^ inches in 
outer diameter and 4 feet in length, which is set about 3 feet in the 
ground. The bottom is spread out to a width of 10 inches in order 
to give a firm bearing on the earth. A bronze or aluminum-bronze 
cap is riveted upon the top of the post. A third style of bench mark 
with abbreviated lettering {B and 2>, PI. I) is used for unimportant 
points. This consists of a special copper nail 1^ inches in length 
driven through a copper washer seven-eighths inch in diameter. The 
tablets as well as the caps on the iron posts are appropriately lettered, 
and where States have cooperated in the work the fact of such coop- 
eration is indicated by the addition of the State name (6?, PI. I.). 

The numbers stamped on the bench marks described in the following 
pages represent the elevations to the nearest foot as determined by 
the levelman. These numbers are stamped with ^-inch steel dies 
on the tablets or post caps to the left of the word ^^feet." The office 
adjustment of the notes and the reduction to mean sea-level datum 
may so change some of the figures that the original markings are 
1 or 2 feet in error. It is assumed that engineers and others who 
have occasion to use the bench-mark elevations will apply to the 
Director of the United States Geological Survey, at Washington, 
D. C, for the adjusted values, and will use the markings as identifi- 
cation numbers only. 

Datum. — ^AU United States Geological Survey elevations are re- 
ferred to mean sea level, which is the level that the sea would assume 
if the influence of winds and tides were eliminated. This level is not 
the elevation determined from the mean of the highest and the lowest 
tides, nor is it the half sum of the mean of all the high tides and the 
mean of all the low tides, which is called the half-tide level. Mean 
sea level is the average height of the water , all stages of the tide being 
considered. It is determined from observations made by means of 
tidal gages placed at stations where local conditions, such as long, 
narrow bays, rivers, and like features, will not affect the height of 
the water. To obtain even approximately correct results these obser- 
vations must extend over at least one lunar month, and if accuracy is 
desired they must extend over several years. At ocean stations the 
half-tide level and the mean sea level usually differ but Uttle. It is 
assumed that there is no difference between the mean sea levels de- 
termined from observations in the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of 
Mexico, and the Pacific Ocean.

PEECISB LEVELING. 



The connection with tidal stations for bench marks in certain areas 
that lie at some distance from the seacoast is still uncertain, and 
this fact is indicated by the addition of a letter or .word to the right 
of the word '^ Datum'' on tablets or posts. For such areas correc- 
tions for published results wiU be made from time to time as the pre- 
cise-level lines of the United States Geological Survey or other Gov- 
ernment organizations are extended. 

Topographic maps. — ^Maps of the following quadrangles wholly or 
partly in Arizona have been pubUshed by the United States Geo- 
logical Survey up to July 1, 1915. They may be obtained (except 
as noted) for 10 cents each or $3 for 50, on application to the Director

The elevations in the following list are based upon precise levels 
along the Southern Pacific R. R. from Yuma. Additional elevations 
in the Benson, Dragoon, Patagonia, Red Rock, and Tucson quadran- 
gles are given in the list of results of precise leveling, pages 7-16. 

The leveling in the Winkelman quadrangle was done by Thomas 
Winsor in 1900, by M. S. Bright m 1904, and by L. F. Biggs m 1909; 
that in the Benson quadrangle by Chester Irvine in 1901, by Bright 
in 1903 and 1904, by R. H. Sargent in 1905, and by Cornelius Schniur 
in 1913. The leveling in the Arivaca, Nogales, and Red Rock quad- 
rangles was done by Bright in 1903; in the Patagonia and Tucson 
quadrangles by Bright in 1903 and 1904; and in the Bisbee and 
Hereford quadrangles by Irvine in 1901. Additional leveling in the 
Bisbee quadriingle was done in 1914 by S. H. Birdseye. 

The stamped elevations are based upon elevations determined by 
the International Boundary Commission and foimd later to be 
imreliable.

Don Lnis 30^ quadrangle, including Bisbee and Douglas IS'' quadrangles. 
COCHISE COUNTY. 

The elevations in the following list were determined by primary 
leveling. The bench marks are on closed circuits but depend upon a 
single unchecked line from Bisbee to sec. 36, T. 23 S., R. 25 E, That 
line formed part of a circuit which formerly appeared to close satis- 
factorily and had been adjusted between Boundary Monuments 92 
and 88, but which now has a closure error of 1.9 feet due to the 
discovery of an error of 1.6 feet in the end of the line by leveling of 
1913. 

Orthometric corrections have been made and the whole corrected 
to accord with the 1912 adjustment of precise leveling. 

The elevation at Bisbee is now taken to be 1.2 feet greater than that 
published in Bulletin 463. 

The leveling was done in 1912 by Cornelius Schnurr. 

Note. — ^The lists as now corrected make the following closures upon Boundary 
Cominisston elevations: Plus 14.40 feet at monument 92; plus 16.24 feet at monument 
88; plus 9.20 feet at monument 84; and plus 12.87 feet at monument 1 near El Paso.

The elevations in the following list are based on heights of bench 
marks in adjacent quadrangles. The leveling in Morenci and Duncan 
quadrangles was done in 1900 by J. T. Stewart and Thomas Winsor 
and in 1902-3 by Chester Irvine. Additional leveling was done in 
1912-13 in Morenci quadrangle by R. R. Monbeck, and in Duncan 
quadrangle in 1914 by S. H. Birdseye. Orthometric and rod correc- 
tions have been applied in the latter work.

MARICOPA AND YAVAPAI COUNTIES. 

The elevations in the following list are based on mean sea level 
datum in agreement with the elevations of bench marks at Ashfork 
by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. Part of the 
elevations were originally based on an iron post in the grounds of 
and 20 feet north of the courthouse at Prescott. The elevation of 
that bench mark is now accepted as 5,354.014 feet above mean sea 
level. 

The leveling in the Bradshaw Mountains quadrangle was done by 
J. P. Darling and J. T. Stewart in 1900 and 1901; the work in the 
New River, Jerome, Santa Maria Mountains, and Congress quad- 
rangles was done in 1901, 1902, and 1903 by Stewart. 

AU bench marks originally depending on the Prescott datum are 
stamped with the letters ^'Prsct," in addition to the figures of 
elevation. 

The remaining elevations in the New River and Wickenburg quad- 
rangles, where bench marks are stamped '^Phnx,'' were originally 
based on the aluminum tablet in the courthouse at Phoenix, stamped 
" 1090,'^ the accepted elevation of which is 1,090.410 feet above mean 
sea level. The leveling was done in 1903 b}^ Stewart.

MOHAYE AND YUMA COUNTIES. 

The devations in the following list are based on a double-rodded 
primary-level line from San Bernardino to Yuma, based upon the 
United States Coast and Geodetic Survey precise-level line from 
mean sea level at San Diego. Additional elevations in the Yuma 
and Wellton quadrangles are given in the precise-leveling Usts from 
Yuma east along the Southern Pacific R. R. Elevations in the 
California part of these quadrangles are given in Bulletin 342. 

Most of the leveUng in the Yuma and WeUton quadrangles was 
done in 1902-3 by G. L. Gordon and C. J. Hoover. A part of the 
work in the Blaisdell quadrangle was done in 1903 by L. D. Ryus. 
The leveling in the Picacho and Ehrenberg quadrangles was done in 
1903 by C. Hartman, Gordon, and Ryus, in the Quartzsite quadrangle 
and the quadrangle south of it in 1903 by Ryus, and in the Parker 
quadrangle in 1902-3 by Hartman. The leveling in the Needles 
special quadrangle was done in 1902 by Morrison, Hartman, and 
S. E. Blout. 

In 1909 the Coast and Geodetic Survey precise-level line along the 
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Ry. redetermined bench marks near 
Mellen and Franconia. The Coast and Geodetic Survey 1912 adjust- 
ment values are given in the Needles special quadrangle.
