RESULTS OF SPIRIT LEVELING IN MINNESOTA, 1897 TO

1914, INCLUSIVE.

INTRODUCTION.

Cooperation. The State of Minnesota contributed financially to 

the work of 1909 to 1914, inclusive.

Previous publication. All results of spirit leveling in Minnesota 

previously published by the United States Geological Survey and all 

the results of later work in the State are included in this report, rearranged by quadrangles. All elevations are based on the .preciselevel net adjustment of 1912 by the United States Coast and Geodetic 

Survey to a common mean sea level datum. The part of this net 

which lies within or along the borders of Minnesota comprises the line 

along Mississippi River from the southeast corner of the State to Lake 

Itasca, the line from Brainerd via Aitkin and Grand Rapids to Cass 

Lake, the line of .the Corps of Engineers, United States Army, from 

St. Paul to Duluth, also the following lines by the Coast and Geodetic 

Survey: St.. Cloud via Evansville and Childs to Ortonyille, and 

Evansville via Fergus Falls and Crookston to Stephen.

Personnel. The field work previous to 1903 was done under the 

general direction of J. H. Renshawe, geographer; that for 1903 to 

1906, inclusive, under H. M. Wilson, geographer; and the later work 

under W. H. Herron, geographer, under the general direction of R. B. 

Marshall, chief geographer. Credit is given to the respective levelmen 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 in both forward and backward directions, 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 -/D, in which D is the distance in miles between
6 SPIRIT LEVELING IN" MINNESOTA, 1897-1914.

bench marks. 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 -\fD, 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.

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

first form is a circular.bronze or aluminum tablet (C and E, PI. 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 pub he 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. It is split at the bottom and 

expanded to a width of 10 inches in order to give a firm bearing on 

the earth, and is set about 3 feet in the ground. 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 D, 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 of 

an inch in diameter.

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 (at G, 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. A$L United States Geological Survey elevations are 

referred to mean sea level, which is the level that the sea would 

assume if the influence of tides and winds 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,
?EECISE LEVELING. 7

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 accuracy is desired they must extend over several years. At ocean 

stations the half-tide level and the mean sea level usually differ but 

little. It is assumed that there is no difference between the mean 

sea levels 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 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 corrections of 

published results will be made from time to time as the precise-level 

lines of the United States Geological Survey or other Government 

organizations are extended.

There are included herewith the results of leveling in certain wet, 

overflowed, or swampy lands, ceded by the Chippewa Indians, in the 

counties of Beltrami, Itasca, Marshall, Polk, Red Lake, and Roseau, 

the Survey of which was specifically provided for by Congress June 

21, 1906, and finally reported upon in House Document 27, Sixty-first 

Congress, first session. The elevations of bench marks given in that 

document have been corrected to agree with the adjustment of precise 

leveling made in 1912.

Topographic maps. Maps of the following quadrangles, wholly 

or partly in Minnesota, have been published by the United States 

Geological Survey up to April 15, 1914. They may be obtained for 

10 cents each, or $3 for 50, on application to the Director of the Survey

Cross Lake, Cuyuna, Elk River, Freeburg, Galesville, La Crescent, Lake City, 

Lake Elmo, Little Falls, Maiden Bock, Minneapolis, Minneiska, Bed Wing, St.

AITKIN, ANOKA, BENTON, CROW WING, DAKOTA, GOODHUE, HENNEPIN, HOUSTON, 

MORBISON, RAMSEY, SHERBURNE, STEARNS, WABASHA, WASHINGTON, WINONA, 

AND WRIGHT COUNTIES.

The following descriptions and elevations of bench marks from 

Iowa-Minnesota State line, along Mississippi River to Aitkin are 

taken from Part 7, Report of Chief of Engineers, United States Army, 

1900, and from Report of the Mississippi River Commission, 1905, 

with elevations corrected to 1912 adjustment of precise leveling.

The tile and pipe marks referred to in the following table consist of: 

A subsurface mark, which is a vitrified clay slab, 18 by 18 by 4 inches 

buried about 3£ feet underground, with a copper bolt leaded into the 

center; and a 4-inch iron pipe, 4 feet long, extending above the surface of the ground and having a brass cap bearing the inscription 

"Mississippi River Commission," etc. Around the center of both 

tile and cap are inscriptions designating, the character of the mark, 

thus: Triangulation station, "U. A S."; precise bench mark, "P. B. 

M. U. O S.", ordinary bench mark "B. M. U. D S."

Bench marks are placed in pairs on lines, called "stone lines," 

crossing the river at intervals of about 3 miles.
