RESULTS OF SPIRIT LEVELING IN WISCONSIN, 1897 

TO 1914, INCLUSIVE.

R. B. MARSHALL, Chief Geographer.

INTRODUCTION.

Previous publications. All results of spirit leveling in Wisconsin 

previously published by the United States Geological Survey in Bulletin 461 and all the results of later work are included in this report. 

Unless otherwise stated all elevations are based on the precise level 

net adjustment of 1912 by the Coast and Geodetic Survey to mean 

sea level datum. The part of this net which lies within or along the 

borders of this State comprises the line of the Mississippi River Commission along the western border and the water leveling done by the 

Corps of Engineers, United States Army, on Lakes Superior and 

Michigan.

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

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

and 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. 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. 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 -/D, 

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.

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

first form is a circular bronze or aluminum tablet ( 0 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

5
6 SPIRIT LEVELING IN WISCONSIN, 1897-1914..

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 D, PL 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. 

Cooperation by States is indicated by the addition of the State name 

(G, 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 three-sixteenthsinch 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 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 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 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 maps. Maps of the following quadrangles wholly or 

partly in Wisconsin have been published by the United States Geological Survey up to June 20, 1914. They may be obtained (except 

as noted) for 10 cents each, or $3 for 50, on application to the Director 

of the Survey, at Washington, D. C.

The elevations in the following list were determined by primary 

leveling extended from bench mark No. 2 of the United States Lake 

Survey at Milwaukee, and adjusted with those in Poynette quadrangle to agree with the elevation at Portage derived by leveling, 

also from Milwaukee, by the Army engineers.

The leveling was done in the Milwaukee, Watertown, Waukesha, 

Whitewater, and Koshkonong quadrangles in 1903 by G. M. Dimmick; in the Oconomowoc quadrangle in 1903 by Dimmick, and in 

1906 by L. P. Gerrard; in the Waterloo quadrangle in 1903 by

ELEVATIONS OF STONE-LINE BENCH MARKS ESTABLISHED BY THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 

ALONG MISSISSIPPI RIVER FROM EAGLE BLUFFS TO 

PRESCOTT AND ELEVATIONS OF SECONDARY BENCH 

MARKS ESTABLISHED BY THE UNITED STATES LAKE 

SURVEY ALONG FOX RIVER FROM PORTAGE .TO 

MOUTH OF RIVER.

Alma, Appleton, Cannon Falls, Elkader, Fond du Lac, Galesville, La Crescent, La 

Crosse, Lake City, Lancaster, Maiden Rock, Minneiska, Montello, Neenah, Neshkoro, Oshkosh, Portage, Poysippi, Bed Wing, Bipon, Stoddard, Wabasha, Waukon, 

and Winona quadrangles.

BROWN, BUFFALO, COLUMBIA, CBAWFOBD, GRANT, GREEN, LA CROSSE, MARQUETTE,OUTAGAMIE,PEPIN, PIERCE, TREMPEALEAU, VERNON, AND WINNEBAGO 

COUNTIES.

The following descriptions and elevations of bench marks from 

Eagle Bluffs to Prescott, Wis., are taken from a report of the Missis-, 

sippi River Commission, published in 1899, and the list of bench 

marks along the Fox River from a special list furnished by the Chief of' 

Engineers, United States Army. These data are republished by 

permission of the Chief of Engineers. The elevations taken from the 

report and the list mentioned above have been corrected to agree with 

the 1912 adjustment of the Coast and Geodetic Survey.

Along the Mississippi River the lines of bench marks called stone 

lines are placed normal to the river at intervals of about 3 miles arid 

are. numbered consecutively from Cairo northward. Each stone line 

generally consists of four bench marks, two on each side of the river, 

the one farthest from the river on the left (east) bank being No. 1. ' 

The elevations of the stone-line-bench marks were determined by 

the ordinary leveling of the topographic party, running from the 

adjacent precise-level bench marks. The discrepancy between the 

precise and ordinary leveling, between successive precise-level bench 

marks, has averaged about 0.06 foot.

A bench mark consists of a flat tile 4 inches thick and 18 inches 

square, with a copper bolt leaded vertically into the upper face atj the 

center. The tile is set about 3 feet below the surface of the ground 

and is surmounted with a 4-inch iron post 4 feet long, upon which an. 

iron cap is bolted. The words "Mississippi River Commission" and 

letters "U. S." are printed on both tile and cap.

Where standard bench marks are not used, descriptions of the marks 

employed are given. The numbers of Mississippi River Commission 

.bench marks are given in parentheses and refer to the surface marks.
