RESULTS OF SPIRIT LEVELING IN FLORIDA, 1911.

R. B. MARSHALL, Chief Geographer.

INTRODUCTION.

Scope of the work. All results of spirit leveling in Florida by the 

United States Geological Survey are included in this report, arranged 

by quadrangles. The elevations are based on 1903 adjustment heights 

of bench marks along the precise level line of the Coast and Geodetic 

Survey from St. Augustine to Cedar Keys and are not likely to be 

changed by any future adjustment.

Personnel. The field work was done under the supervision of 

Frank Sutton, geographer, under the general direction of E. B. Marshall, chief geographer. Credit is given to the different levelmen in the 

introduction to each list. 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. No precise leveling has been done by the United 

States Geological Survey in this State. For primary lines standard 

Y levels are used; lines are run in circuits or are closed on precise 

lines, with an allowable closing error in feet represented .by 0.05 -\fTf} 

in which D is the length of the circuit in miles, sufficient care being 

given the work to maintain this standard. For circuit closures 

careful office adjustments are made, the small outstanding errors 

being distributed over the lines.

Bench marks. The standard bench marks are of two forms. .The 

first form is a circular bronze or aluminum tablet (C and E, PL I), 

3^ inches in diameter and one-fourth inch thick, having a 3-inch 

stem, which is cemented in a drill hole in solid rock, in the wall of 

some public building, in a bridge abutment, or in other substantial 

masonry structure. The second form (F, PI. I), employed where 

masonry or rock is not accessible, consists of a hollow wrought-iron 

post 3| inches in outer diameter and 4 feet in length after being split 

at the bottom and expanded to 10 inches in order to give a firm bearing on the earth. A bronze or aluminum-bronze cap is riveted over 

the top of the post, which is set about 3 feet in the ground. A third 

style of bench mark with abbreviated lettering (B and Z>, PL I) is 

used for unimportant points. This consists of a special copper nail 

14 inches in length driven through a copper washer seven-eighths of 

an inch in diameter.
6 SPIRIT LEVELING IN FLORIDA.

The tablets, as well as the caps on the iron posts, are appropriately 

lettered, and for cooperating States the fact of such cooperation is 

indicated by the addition of the State name (6r, PL 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 identification numbers only.

Datum. All United States Geological Survey elevations are referred 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 of the mean of all the low tides, which is called half-tide level. 

Mean sea level is tJie 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 observations must extend over at least one lunar month, and if great accuracy is desired they must extend over several years. At ocean 

stations half-tide level and mean sea level usually differ but little. 

It is assumed that there is no difference between the mean sea level 

as determined from observations in the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of 

Mexico, or the Pacific Ocean.

The connection with tidal stations for bench marks in certain areas 

that lie at some distance from the sea coast is still uncertain, and this 

fact is indicated by the addition of a letter or a word to the right of 

the word " Datum " on tablets or posts. For such areas corrections 

of published results will be made from time to time as the preciselevel lines of the United States Geological Survey or other Government organizations are extended.

 Topographic maps. Maps of the following quadrangles in Florida 

have been published by the United States 'Geological Survey up to 

July 1,1912. They may be obtained for 5 cents each, or $3 a hundred,

16 SPIRIT LEVELING IN FLORIDA.

STARKE QUADRANGLE.

NOTE. The line begun near Melrose and run north via Lake Geneva to 

Kingsley Lake, west to New River, and south to a point near Fairbanks had 

an excessive error (+1.518 feet), and the line from Graham west via Hampton 

and Theressa to a point 6 miles north of Lake Geneva closed 1.592 feet high. 

A line of secondary levels run from a point about 6 miles north of Lake Geneva 

agreed with the first line fairly well up to a point 1.41 miles northwest of Kingsley Lake, where an apparent error of 0.6 feet was found. From this point the 

line checked closely until a point 2 miles west of Saxton was reached. Here 

an apparent error of 1.20 feet was found. The second line was not carried 

beyond the latter point. These differences were used as correction, thus giving 

closures of 0.282 feet and 0.208 feet at the tie points, and the circuits were 

adjusted for these errors, but the results are still considered uncertain.

Point 4.8 miles northeast of Fairbanks northeast along Seaboard Air Line Railway to Waldo, thence southeast along highways 6.8 miles.
