RESULTS OF SPIRIT LEVELING IN TENNESSEE, 1910 AND

1911.

E. B. MARSHALL, Chief Geographer.

INTBODUCTION.

Cooperation. The State of Tennessee contributed financially to 

the work done in 1910 in the Atwood, Cades, Idlewild, Malesus, 

Martin, Maury City, and Trimble quadrangles.

Previous publication. The following results of spirit leveling are 

supplemental to and in accord with the elevations given in Bulletin 

'441, and are in agreement with the 1912 adjustment of precise leveling by the Coast and Geodetic Survey.

Personnel. The field work of 1910 and 1911 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 was done by the United States' 

Geological Survey in this State during 1910 and 1911. 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 YE)? in which D is the length of the circuit in miles, sufficient 

care being given to the work to maintain this standard. For all 

levels of this class careful office adjustments are made, the circuit 

closure errors being distributed over the lines.

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 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

6 SPIRIT -LEVELING IN TENNESSEE, 1910 AND 1911.

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 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 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 s'ome 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 for 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.

Topographic ma.ps. Maps of the following quadrangles wholly or 

partly in Tennessee 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 on application to the Director of the Survey

Bench marks. r-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-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. 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 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>, 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 State cooperation is indicated by the 

addition of the State name (#, 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 Unite'd States Geological Survey, at Washington, D. C., for the 

adjusted values, and will use the markings as identification numbers 

only,

PRIMARY LEVELING.

Crossville quadrangle.

BLEDSOE, CUMBERLAND, VAN BTJREN, AND WHITE COUNTIES.

The following elevations were determined by primary leveling 

based upon United States Geological Survey bench marks at Farmingdale and Litton established from the Coast and Geodetic Survey 

bench marks at Dayton and Evensville in 1909. The circuit run in 

1909 had a closure error of +1.143 feet and that run in 1910, a 

closure error of -j-0.878 feet. Both circuits have been adjusted, 

although the error -is excessive.

The leveling in 1910 was done by F. W. Farnsworth.
