LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, 

U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, DIVISION OF GEOGRAPHY,

Washington, D. C., June 30,1894.

SIR: I have the honor to transmit herewith, in form for publication, 

the results of the primary triangulation executed by the U". S. Geological Survey during the past twelve years that is, since the commencement of work upon the topographic atlas of the United States.

The work of compiling this bulletin has been executed by Messrs. 

H. M. Wilson, E. U. Goode, and S. S. Gannett. 

Very respectfully submitted,

HENRY GANNETT,

Chief Topographer. 

Hon. J. W. POWELL,

RESULTS OF PRIMARY TRIANGULATION.

By HENRY GANNETT.

INTRODUCTION.

The triangulation of the U. S. Geological Survey is executed solely 

for the primary control of topographic work upon scales not exceeding 

1:62500. The extreme of accuracy has therefore not been sought, but 

only such a degree of accuracy as to insure that the maximum accumulated error be imperceptible upon the maps.

Wherever work has been done by other organizations, which is of 

sufficient accuracy for the control of the maps of this organization, such 

work has been utilized both immediately for the location of topographic 

work and also for the extension of triangulation therefrom by this 

organization. The work of the TJ. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey has 

been largely used in this manner, especially in the eastern part of the 

country. The maps in New England, New York, New Jersey, and 

Pennsylvania rest in large part directly upon the points determined by 

this organization, while in tn*e Appalachian region, triangulation has. 

been extended by this organization from points determined by the 

TJ. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. The work of the TJ. S.Lake Survey 

and also that of the New York State survey has been extensively 

utilized in a similar manner, as is fully set forth in the descriptions 

accompanying the different groups of results. In the interior of the 

country and in the Far West, work has been done ab initio by this 

Survey. Astronomical determinations of positions have been made, 

base lines have been measured and expansions effected by it.

The results have been arranged in chapters by geographical groups, 

the arrangement being as natural as possible, and as an introduction 

to each chapter there is given a description of the work, outlining the 

methods employed and instruments used, and stating by whom the 

work was done.

The groups into which the work is arranged are as follows:

NEW ENGLAND:

The triangulatiou of the TJ. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey covers the

entire coast of Maine and extends far inland. It covers most of New

Hampshire and much of Vermont, while practically the entire areas of

the remaining States of this group are covered by its primary stations.

Bull. 122 1 l
2 RESULTS OF PEIMARY TRIANGULATION. [BULL. 122.

In Massachusetts the numerous stations of the Borden survey have 

been adjusted by the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey to agreement 

with its own positions, and have thus become available for use. Outside of Massachusetts the stations of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey are, as a rule, far apart, and much work of a supplementary character 

has been found necessary, in order to obtain enough points for instituting plane-table triangulation. This work of supplementing the triangulation of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey has been executed 

by Messrs. S. S. Gannett and E. U. Goode.

NEW YORK, TSTEW JERSEY, AND PENNSYLVANIA:

In New York a large amount of triangulation has been executed by 

the TJ. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. Its work extended from New 

York Harbor, up the Hudson and through Lake Ghamplain and up the 

Mohawk Valley to a connection with the TJ. S. Lake Survey near 

Oswego. Triangulation has been extended along the shores of Lakes 

Erie and Ontario by the TJ. S. Lake Survey. The New York State 

survey, under Mr. J. T. Gardiner, starting from points near the Hudson, 

determined by the TJ. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, has been extended 

westward to the foot of Lake Erie and southward across the middle of 

the State to the Pennsylvania line.

The entire area of New Jersey has been closely covered by triangulation by the TJ. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, and the New Jersey 

Geological Survey.

The work of the TJ. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey extends over a 

large part of eastern Pennsylvania. *

In New York and Pennsylvania it has been found necessary to execute much supplementary triangulation, both for the purpose of supplying more points in areas already covered by triangulation and in the 

extension of triangulation. into new areas. In all this work, as in New 

England, the work of other organizations, above specified, has furnished the base lines. The work in these States has been executed by 

Mr. S. S. Gannett.

SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN REGION:

The TJ. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey has carried a belt of large figures from the head of Chesapeake Bay south westward to central Alabama, along the east front of the Appalachian Mountain system. The 

lines of this belt have served as a series of base lines for the extension 

of triangulation by the TJ. S. Geological Survey westward and northward over the mountain region. This work has been going forward for 

a number of years and has been executed by several different men. It 

was instituted by Prof. W. C. Kerr, while most of it has been done by 

Mr. S. S. Gannett. Others who have contributed to it are Prof. J. H. 

Gore, Mr. C. M. Yates, Mr. W. T. Griswold, and Mr. F. J. Knight.

The text accompanying the descriptions and positions of points in 

New England, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, and the 

southern Appalachian region has been prepared by Mr. S. S. Gannett.
GANNETT.] INTRODUCTION. O 

MICHIGAN:

A small area of triangulation has been executed by Mr. F. J. Knight 

upon the upper peninsula of Michigan, extending westward from Marquette. It rests upon two stations determined by the U. S. Lake Survey near Marquette.

ARKANSAS:

The work in Arkansas depends upon two base lines located respectively 

near Fort Smith and Little Rock. It was executed by Messrs. S. S. Gannett and G. T. Hawkins. A description has been prepared by the firstnamed gentleman.

KANSAS: 

The work in Kansas consists practically of two belts of triangulation 

running westward in different latitudes nearly across the State. They 

depend upon stations in western Missouri and eastern Kansas in the 

transcontinental belt of triaugulatioii of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic 

Survey. The work was executed by Messrs. E. U. Goode, J. H. Kenshawe, and H. L. Baldwin, and the text has been prepared by Mr. 

Baldwin.

TEXAS:

The work in Texas is in two isolated parts. One extended area occupies the central part of the State, while the other, much more restricted, 

is in the Traus-Pecos region. The first rests upon two base lines, one 

near Austin, the other near Cisco. This triangulatiou was executed 

by Messrs. E. U. Goode, E. M. Douglas, and C. F. Urquhart.

That in the Trans-Pecos region rests upon a base near El Paso. The 

work was done by Messrs. E. U. Goode, A. P. Davis, and C. F. Urquhart. The text relating to the Texas work has been prepared by Mr. 

Goode.

BLACK HILLS OF SOUTH DAKOTA:

This body of triangulation rests upon a base measured near Eapid 

City. The work was done by Mr. E. M. Douglas, who has prepared 

the text relating to it.

ASPEN, COLO.:

A little triangulation has been done in the neighborhood of this 

mining camp, resting upon points determined by the Hayden Survey. 

The work was done by Messrs. E. M. Douglas and Morris Bien.

WYOMING:

In southern Wyoming a little triangulation has been done for the 

control of work in the neighborhood of Larainie. This was extended 

from a measured base by Mr. Frank Tweedy.

MONTANA:

The triangulation in Montana and northwestern Wyoming rests 

upon a base line measured near Bozeman. From this base triangulation has been extended southward over the Yellowstoue Park and the 

country east thereof, and westward over the upper waters of the Mis-

souri Eiver. The work was done by Messrs. J. H. Renshawe, E. M. 

Douglas, and Frank Tweedy. The descriptive text has been written 

by Mr. Tweedy.

IDAHO:

A base measured near Boise serves as the beginning of this work. 

The triangulation has been done by Mr, W. T. Griswold and the 

description of it was written by Mr. E. T. Perkins.

CALIFORNIA:

The work in California is in two parts, an extended area in central 

and northern California, extending northward into southwest Oregon, 

and a much smaller area in the neighborhood of Los Angeles and San 

Diego. The former of these areas rests upon stations of the U. S. 

Coast and Geodetic Survey. The work has been executed by a number of different men, Messrs. Gilbert Thompson, Mark B. Kerr, H. M. 

Wilson, E. M. Douglas, and H. E. C. Feusier. This work has been 

described by Mr. Douglas.

The work in southern California rests upon a base measured by the 

U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. It has been executed by Mr. A. P. 

Davis, and is described by him.

THE PLATEAU REGION:

The work in the Plateau region of New Mexico and Arizona rests 

upon a base measured near Fort Wingate, whence it has been extended 

eastward and westward. This work was done by Messrs. Gilbert 

Thompson, A. P. Davis, F. J. Knight, and H. M. Wilson. The description was prepared by Mr. Davis.

The triangulation executed by early surveys in the West, known as 

the Hayden, the Powell, and the Wheeler surveys, has been utilized 

to some extent for the control or initiation of work ; that of the Wheeler 

but little, and that of the Hayden to a greater extent, especially in 

Colorado. That of the Powell survey, the results of which have never 

heretofore been published, has been used very largely, inasmuch as the 

maps prepared by that organization have been published as atlas sheets 

by this Survey. These cover nearly all of Utah and northern Arizona, 

and it has seemed proper in this publication to include a description of 

this work and the positions of the points determined by it in extenso. 

A description of this work will be found in its proper place, written by 

Mr. A. H. Thompson, who, with Mr. G. K. Gilbert, executed the work.

All positions herewith presented are referred to the Clarke spheroid 

of revolution, of 1866; the unit of length is the iron committee meter 

brought to this country by Hassler, and now in the possession of the 

Bureau of Weights and Measures. In the Northeastern States, the 

positions are referred to the mean positions of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey; elsewhere they are, as stated in the text accompanying 

the various groups of work, referred to isolated astronomical determinations, which are, of course, subject to unknown station errors.

METHODS OF WORK.

MAINE.

The triangulation in southwestern Maine executed in 1888 was based 

upon two stations of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, Ossipee and 

Independence; a third, Agamenticus, was occupied, but the station 

mark could not be identified and a new point was established. From 

these stations thirteen others in York and Cumberland conn ties, distributed over seven atlas sheets, were located.

In 1890 a system of quadrilaterals was extended from Sabattus-Blin, 

stations of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, up the Kennebec Valley about 45 miles; twelve stations, distributed over five atlas sheets, 

were located. Isolated, bare hills favorably located for topographic 

purposes were generally utilized. A tripod signal of simple form was 

used, the materials for which were generally obtainable at the nearest 

farmhouse.

Angles were measured by S. S. Gannett with a Fauth 8-inch theodolite, reading by micrometer microscopes to two seconds of arc. Local 

or station adjustment was made in most cases, bu j figure adjustment 

was not considered necessary and has not been made.

NEW HAMPSHIRE.

In 1892 the triangulation of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey in 

the White Mountain region was supplemented by crating in additional 

points. Mounts Washington, Kearsarge, and Lafayette were used 

as initial points, and three other stations were occupied; altogether, 

eleven points, furnishing control for four atlas sheets, were located.

Angles were measured with a Fauth 8-inch theodolite by S. S. Gannett and B. C. Washington, jr. Adjustment of figures by least squares 

was not made.

MASSACHU SETTS.

Eleven new stations, controlling four atlas sheets, were located in 

Worcester County in 1887 by Mr. B. U. Goode. The lines WachusettWatatic and Wachusett-Fay, established by the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, were used as bases.

Lone trees on bare hills were utilized as signals.

Angles were measured with the Gambey 11-inch theodolite, reading

by verniers to ten seconds. This work was not adjusted.

RESULTS OF PRIMARY TRIANGULATION. [BULL. 122.

RHODE ISLAND.

The western portion of Ehode Island was controlled during 1888 by 

triangulation extended from the lines of the TJ. S. Coast and Geodetic 

Survey, Beaconpole-Spencer, Spencer-Sherman, and Sherman-Champlin. This work was slow and difficult. The hills being of about the 

same height and heavily wooded, the building of high scaffolds was 

necessary. A tall tree was usually selected, its branches cut off, and 

the trunk used as one leg of a triangular scaffold.

Angles were measured with a light 6-inch theodolite mounted on its 

own tripod on the floor of the scaffold from 40 to 60 feet above the 

ground.

This work was done by Mr. B. TJ. Goode and Mr. C. F. Urquhart. 

No least square adjustments were made.

CONNECTICUT.

Control for north central Connecticut was obtained by extending triangulation from the TJ. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey stations Good Hill, 

Mount Tom, and Ivy, in Litchfield aud Hartford counties, and from 

Box Hill and Bald Hill in Tolland, Windham, and New London countiesSeventeen stations, controlling ten atlas sheets, were located in 1889. 

Isolated, cleared hills were usually available, and were selected as stations. Various forms of signals were used, the usual form being a tripod under which the theodolite was centered.

Angles were measured with a Fauth 8-inch theodolite, reading by 

micrometer to two seconds, by S. S. Gannett.

A least square adjustment of the angles was made at each station, 

but no figure adjustment was made.

METHODS OF WORK.

NEW YORK.

A comparatively small amount of triangulation has as yet been necessary in addition to that of other organizations. The State is about 

half covered by triangulation, including the work of the U. S. Lake 

Survey, along the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Biver; that of the 

U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey along the Hudson Eiver, Lake Champlain, and the Mohawk Valley; and that of the Few York State survey

in the central and southern portions of the State. The work in certain 

areas was supplemented by the U. S. Geological Survey during 1892 and 

1893. In June, 1892, a small belt was extended northeastward through 

Washington County, startingfrom stations Greenwich, Batinesque, of the 

U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. Nine stations, controlling four atlas 

sheets, were occupied. Stations were located on bare hills, though 

they were not always the highest in the locality, to avoid erection of 

expensive scaffolds, or heavy damages for destruction of timber.

Later in the season of 1892 a system of quadrilaterals was started 

across the Catskill region from Powell-Merino, stations of the U. S. 

Coast and Geodetic Survey in the Hudson Valley near Coxsackie. Seven 

stations, controlling three atlas sheets, were located. Old observatories were found on many of the wooded mountain summits and were 

sighted as signals and occupied with the theodolite.

During 1893 work was extended across Clinton County from the line 

Lyon-Dannemora, of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. The northern border of the State is very difficult to triangulate, there being no 

well-defined points after leaving the high rocky peaks of the Adirondack region, the ridges being flat and heavily wooded. Eight stations 

within three atlas sheets were located.

The work in Oswego and Jefferson counties was based upon stations 

of the U. S. Lake Survey, Sandy Creek-Mannsville being used as a base 

in Oswego County and Cooper-Gleason in Jefferson County. Eighteen 

stations .were occupied in this portion of the State, furnishing control 

for five atlas sheets.

A few stations in addition to those of the U. S. Lake Survey were 

located in Chautauqua and Erie counties. The line Silver Creek-Dunkirk light-house was used as a base from which the positions of five 

stations were determined.

30 RESULTS OF PRIMARY TRIANGULATION. I BULL. 122.

In October, 1893, four stations were located in Ulster County, southwest of Kingston; these were, based upon Terry, Prospect, and Lloyd, 

stations of the U. S. Qoast and Geodetic Survey on the banks of the 

Hudson near Eondout.

All of the work of the U. S. Geological Survey in New York has been 

done by S. S. Gannett, assisted by B. C. Washington, jr. A Fauth 

8-inch theodolite has been used, angles having been read, in most cases, 

by the method of directions. No least square figure adjustment has 

been made.

PENNSYLVANIA.

Triangulation of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey in the anthracite coal region was supplemented during the years 1889,1890, and 1891. 

Twenty-five points were located, furnishing control for fifteen atlas 

sheets.

The location of stations on flat, wooded, mountain summits in many 

cases necessitated the elevation of the theodolite from 10 to 50 feet 

above the ground, an interior tripod for the support of the instrument 

being built with an exterior structure for the observer.

In August, 1892, a few stations were added to those already located 

in the vicinity of Reading and Allentown. Angles were measured with 

a Fauth 8-inch theodolite. No figure adjustment has been made.

SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN REGION. 

METHODS OF WORK,

Portions of Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland lying north of 

latitude 39° and between longitudes 78° and 80° were controlled by triangulation in 1884 by W. T. Griswold, assisted by L. C. Fletcher. This 

work was based upon the line Fork-Marshall of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. Angles were measured with a Schilling 6-inch theodolite, 

reading by vernier to 10 seconds.

Triangulationin the southwestern portion of Virginia was commenced 

in 1883 by Prof. J. H. Gore, assisted by G. F. Wakefield. A series 

of triangles arid quadrilaterals was started at the line Paint-Ivy of 

the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey in Fayette County, W. Va., and 

extended south westward for 100 miles through Scott, Wise, Dickinson, 

Buchanan, and Tazewell counties, Virginia, to the line Chimney-flolston 

in eastern Tennessee, previously established by triangulation party 

No. 1 of the Geological Survey.

The instrument used in this work was a Ku'bel 6-inch theodolite, reading by verniers to 10 seconds.

Two stations of this belt were used for extending triangulation into 

eastern Kentucky. This was done during 1884. by G; F. Wakefield, 

using a 6-inch theodolite, reading by verniers to 10 seconds.

All that portion of Virginia lying north and west of the Blue Ridge 

and west of the peaks of Otter which was without control'was triangulated during 1885 and 1886 by S. S. Gannett, using a Fauth 7-inch 

theodolite, reading by verniers to 10 seconds.

In 1888 portions of the counties of Prince Edward and Buckingham 

were controlled by F/ J. Knight, the work being based upon the U. S. 

Coast and Geodetic Survey line Smith-Long.

In 1889 Pittsylvania and Campbell counties were triangulated by C. 

M. Yeates, using a Fauth 7-inch theodolite, reading by verniers to 10 

seconds.

In addition to the work previously mentioned as having been done 

in Kentucky, several stations were located in Harlaii and Bell counties 

during 1885 by F. J. Knight, based upon stations of the Geological 

Survey, White Rocks-War Gap.

In 1888 and 1890 C. M. Yeates extended triangulation over that portion of Kentucky lying between the parallels of 37° and 38° and between 

the meridians of 83° and 85°.

The nature of this country'made this work most difficult, the hills 

being of the same height and heavily timbered. Much time was spent

in selecting stations and clearing them of timber, and even then only 

short lines of sight could be obtained. . A Fauth 7-inch (vernier) theodolite was used during the field season 

of .1888, and an 8-inch (micrometer) theodolite during-1890.

Triangulation was. extended over the mountainous portion of western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee, between the Blue Eidge 

and the escarpment of the Cumberland Plateau during the field seasons of 1882,1883,1884, and 1885. This work was begun by Prof. W. 

C. Kerr at stations Benii and Poore of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic 

Survey in October, 1882. It was extended during 1883 by Prof. Kerr, 

assisted by S. S. Gannett, and further extended by the latter during 

1884 and 1885.

A Kiibel 6-inch (vernier) theodolite was used at first, which was 

replaced later by a Fauth 7-inch (vernier) theodolite.

In all of the work in the Appalachian Mountain region a lone tree 

has been commonly used as a signal, Most of the summits were found

to be wooded. All trees obstructing the view were usually cut away. 

A tall symmetrical tree standing on the highest part of the summit 

Avas trimmed up and left as signal and mark. On bald summits a 

signal was usually made of saplings fastened together a few feet from 

the top and raised in form of a tripod.

In nearly all of the Appalachian triangulation a least square station 

and figure adjustment has been made.

ARKANSAS. 

METHODS OF WORK.

The triangulation in Arkansas starts from a base located just west 

of the State line in the Indian Territory and connected with the astronomical station of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey at Fort Smith. 

It extends eastward along the thirty-fifth parallel of latitude to Little 

Rock, near which city a check base was measured. Difficulty was 

experienced in finding a favorable location for the initial base, but the 

site finally selected was in an open prairie bordered by several mountain ranges over 2,000 feet high, which furnished good points for 

expansion.

The initial base was measured at night with a 300-foot steel tape, on 

the roadbed of the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad, beginning 

at Cameron, and was 2-84 miles in length. It was divided jinto sections 

of 1,200 feet, or 4 tape lengths, each section being measured three 

times. The tape was stretched under a tension of 20 pounds and the 

temperature noted at each tape length. A wye level was used to determine the relative elevations of stations. The base near Little Rock was 

measured twice on a cloudy day, its length being 3-72 miles. The 

azimuth of each base was determined by observations on Polaris near 

elongation.

The axial length of the belt of triangulation connecting the two bases 

is 135 miles; number of stations occupied, twenty-seven. This work 

was commenced in.1887 by S, 8. Gannett, assisted by G-. T. Hawkins, 

and finished in 1888. The angles at most of the stations were measured with a Fauth 7-inch (vernier) theodolite, but at the stations in the 

expansion of the Little Rock base a new Fauth 8-inch (micrometer) 

theodolite was used. The computation included a complete least square 

station and figure adjustment.

A belt of triangulatiou was extended during 1889,1890, and 1891 from 

Fourche-Reynolds, stations of the initial belt near Morrillton, northward to Missouri; thence westward along the southern border of that 

State for about CO miles^; thence southward, joining the initial belt at 

the line Pinnacle-Sugarloaf, 20 miles southeast of Fort Smith. Angles 

at stations in this belt were measured with a Fauth 8-iuch (micrometer) 

theodolite by George T. Hawkins. Azimuths were observed at intervals of about 50 miles.

Triangnlation in this State was conducted generally in a manner 

similar to that pursued in the Appalachian Mountain region; that is,

erected. ,

U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY BULLETIN No. \22 PLATE VI

TRIANGULATION

IN

KANSAS

A U.S OCOL03ICAI. SURVEY.

U.S.COAST * GEODETIC SURVEY
KANSAS. 

METHODS OP WORK.

The triangulation in Kansas conducted by the Geological Survey is 

in th'ree detached belts, each of which starts from a line or lines of the 

transcontinental triangulation of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey.

The, southern belt begins with the line Fulton-Hutton Mound some 

20 miles east of the Missouri-Kansas line, and proceeds nearly due west 

until the Arkansas Eiver is reached at Hutchinsbn. From here the

general course of the river is followed as far as Lamed, at which point 

topographic conditions favored a detour to the west and southwest to 

Dodge, after which the river was again followed to the present terminus 

near Hartland.

Field work of triangulation was begun in 1885 by E. U. Goode, who 

continued it as far as Florence. The instrument used was a Gambey 

11-inch repeating theodolite with two verniers reading to ten seconds. 

No azimuth observations were taken at the time, but a subsequent 

observation at Florence showed only a very small error. In 1889 this 

belt was 0 continued westward by H. L. Baldwin, jr., as far as Spearville. The instrument used was a Fauth 8-iuch theodolite, IsTo. 362, 

reading with two microscopes to 2 seconds. Azimuths were taken 

at intervals of about 50 miles in this and all subsequent work.

At Spearville a base line 7-1- miles in length was measured with a 

300-foot steel tape under very favorable conditions. The base line was 

divided into thirteen sections of 3,000 feet each, two complete measures 

of each section being made. About half of the sections were measured 

a third time, when work was stopped by an accident. The resulting 

probable error of the base is 0-39 inch. An astronomical determination of the la titude and longitude of the Spearville end of the base 

was made in 1889 by Prof. E. S. Woodward, signals being exchanged 

with St. Louis on three nights.

In 1889 work was resumed at Spearville, and continued by a series 

of small but well-proportioned quadrilaterals to its present terminus 

near Hartland. All of the southern belt west of Florence rests upon 

the Spearville base. The average errors of closure of the triangles 

for each year's field work, before station adjustment was made, were 

respectively 7"-85, 3"-25, and l"-73.

The northeastern belt of triangulation was executed under the direction of Mr. John H. Eenshawe in 1886. The angles were measured 

by Mr. B. T. Perkins, jr., excepting those from a few of the later

149

stations, which were observed by Mr. George T. Hawkins. The instrument used was the Gambey 11-inch theodolite used during the previous 

year in the southern belt. The work is based upon the U. S. Coast and 

Geodetic Survey line Blue Mound-Eckman, near Lawrence; and proceeds in a westerly direction, the axis of triangulation being about, 

parallel to and 20 miles north of the Kansas Eiver.

The northern belt of triangulation, executed by Mr. H. L. Baldwin, 

jr., in 1890, uses for initial positions three stations of the transconti. 

nental triangulation of the TJ. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, Vine 

Creek-Frey-Wilmer. It first proceeds northward 40 miles, and then 

takes a general westerly course to its present terminus near Lenora, 

Kans. The triangulation consists of a series of. well-proportioned 

quadrilaterals of much larger size than in the other two belts, which 

was rendered possible by more favorable topographic conditions. The 

instrument used was a Fauth 8-inch theodolite, No. 362, reading by two 

micrometers to 2". Owing to the small errors of closure no figure 

or station adjustment was necessary. The average error of closure in 

60 triangles is 2"-07.

In all of the Kansas triangulation well-proportioned figures with 

occasional single triangles were used, since the topography rendered it 

possible to place stations wherever desirable. Angles were read by 

the method of directions, both singly and combined, in such manner 

as to give check observations on each angle which entered into the 

computations. Adjustments by the method of least squares were made 

in the earlier work, in which less accurate instruments were used. 

In the later work the closures were so good as to render least-square 

adjustments unnecessary.

Nearly all of the stations in this work consisted of tripod signals 

built of rough lumber. Most of the earlier ones were tripods about 16 

feet in height supporting an upright 4 by 4 pole and boarded to near

the ground, so as to be readily distinguishable at a distance. In the 

later work the tripod was left more open and a target similar to that 

used by the Missouri Eiver Commission, consisting of boards covered 

with white and black cloth and nailed on the pole at right angles to 

each other, was employed. In some cases, where it was necessary to 

elevate the instrument, a higher and larger scaifold was built for the 

support of the observer and within this a smaller tripod was erected for 

the support of the instrument.

In connection with the triangulation in Kansas a large number of 

townships and section corners were located usually by the method of 

directions and distances from the triangulation stations. These loca-» 

tions were made for the purpose of establishing control for the topographic work, which, in the plains country, is largely based on the 

land surveys.

A list of these corners with their positions is appended.

METHODS OF WORK.

Triangulation has been carried on in Texas in two general localities, 

namely: Middle Texas, or the area between longitude 96° 30' and 

101°, and Trailspecos Texas. The work in the latter region extends 

from the western portion of the State as far eastward as longitude 103°, 

and covers the territory between the Eio Grande and the New Mexico 

boundary line. It embraces an area of about 15,000 square miles, and 

may be described as a belt about 60 miles in width extending from El 

Paso about 250 miles down the Eio Grande. The triangulation east of 

the Pecos covers an area of about 50,000 square miles, which is approximately included in a four-sided figure, with Dallas, Eoby in Fisher 

 County, Brackettville, and.Bastrop at the corners.

Work upon the eastern triangulation was commenced in the vicinity 

of Austin in the summer of 1884. A base line was measured by E. M. 

Douglas, assisted by C. H. Fitch, with four meter bars. The location 

of this base is about ten miles southeast from Austin, near Onion Creek, 

and its adopted length 10,307-201 meters, or about 64 miles. Details 

relating to the Austin base line can be found in' the administrative 

report of Mr. Henry Gannett contained in the Sixth Annual Eeport, 

1884-'85. The development from this base included the location of a 

point in Austin, the astronomical position of which had been previously 

determined by the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, and from this point 

the geodetic positions of the various triangulation points were derived. 

The azimuth of the Austin base line was determined by Prof. A. H. 

Thompson.

The work in Texas remained for two seasons under charge of Mr. 

Douglas. He was relieved in 1886 by Mr. E. U. Goode, under whose 

direction all operations in Texas have since ,been conducted except a 

small amount of work around Sierra Blanca in connection with the 

establishment of the one hundred and fifth meridian, as hereinafter 

explained. The triangulation was extended year by year northward 

and westward from Austin, and in 1889 a base line of verification was 

measured near Albany, partially along a railroad tangent through the 

town, and new astronomic and azimuth determinations were made.

The Albany base line is about 9 miles in length and was measured twice with a 300-foot steel tape stretched under a tension of 20 

pounds. The tape was supported by stakes at intervals of 50 feet,

204

which were aligned and brought to the grade established by more substantial supports, the latter having been previously set in the ground 

300 feet apart, and upon which markings of the extremities of the 

tape were made. The two direct measurements differed by 0-167 feet, 

but when temperature corrections were applied the resulting discrepancy was somewhat greater, owing possibly to difficulty experienced at 

the time of measurement in obtaining the true temperature of the tape. 

The adopted length of the line after applying the corrections for temperature, length of tape, difference on posts, inclination, sag, and sea 

level, was 45793.652 feet.

The triangulation. was extended from the Albany base eastward 

150 miles to Dallas, then southward to Temple, where another check 

was obtained by joining with distances from Austin base. The work 

has also been carried 250 miles southward and 100 miles westward 

from Albany. This work as above was executed principally by Charles 

F. Urquhart. After the measurement of the Albany base observations

for azimuth were obtained each year.

The instruments used in this work were an 8-inch theodolite with 

verniers reading to 10 seconds in 1884-785-'S6, and afterwards an instrument with an 11-inch Gambey circle reading by microscopes to single 

seconds. Various methods of observations were used, principally, however, that of directions, and the whole system of triangulation, both 

east and west of Pecos river, has been divided into convenient figures 

and adjusted by the method of least squares, while station adjustments 

by the same method were also made whenever necessary.

Triangulation was commenced in Transpecos Texas, near Sierra 

Blanca, in the spring of 1890. Prof. E. S. Woodward measured a base 

line along the Texas and Pacific Eailway and determined the astronomical position of a pier at Sierra Blanca, near the western extremity 

of the base line, and Mr. A. P. Davis developed a small system of triangulation around Sierra Blanca for the purpose of locating on the 

earth's surface the one hundred and fifth meridian. For a full description of the above operations see Bulletin 70. The work was continued 

in °this locality in 1891 by Mr. E. U. Goode, who extended the system 

northward and westward, and in 1892 by Mr. Charles F. Urquhart eastward and southward.

The signals used in the middle portions of the State were usually 

made from sawed lumber, the instruments resting on the ground or elevated as the circumstances required. In the latter cases a scaffold for 

the support of the observer was always erected around an interior tripod on which the instrument rested. In a few instances when it was 

not necessary to elevate the instrument above the surface of the ground, 

trees, when found suitably located, were trimmed and the tops used 

for signals. In the Transpecos regions the triaugulation stations were 

usually at the summit of sharp and well-defined peaks, and conical piles 

of stone from § to 12 feet in height were used as signals,

TRIANGULATION

SOUTH DAKOTA. 

METHODS OF WORK.

The area actually covered by the work in the Black Hills is about 

2,500 square miles, extending from the Nebraska state line, latitude 

43° 00', to latitude 44° 30'.

The work was commenced in 1891 by Mr. C. H. Fitch, who selected a 

site for a base line of which he made a preliminary measurement. The 

line is in the valley of Box Elder Creek about 4 miles northeast of Eapid 

City. Mr. W. S. Post, in the same year, built signals at a few stations 

of the expansion, but was prevented by bad weather from measuring

the final angles. '

In the fall of 1893 Mr. E. M. Douglas reineasured the base line and 

located eighteen stations in its development and in the main system of 

triaugulation, including the connection with the astronomical pier at 

Kapid City. The base line was measured three times with a 300-foot 

steel tape; temperature was taken at each tape length; the line was 

supported at each 50 feet and was under a uniform tension of 20 pounds. 

The adopted length of the line after making corrections for slope, temperature, reduction to sea level, etc., is 25,796-115 feet (nearly 5 miles), 

and the probable error of the three measurements is 0-84 inch.

The initial astronomical point on which the triangulation depends is 

a pier in the county court-house yard in Kapid City, the position of 

which Avas determined by Mr. S. S. Gannett, in 1890, by latitudes from 

zenith distances and longitudes from telegraphic exchange of time 

with St. Louis observatory. Mr. Gannett at the same time fixed a 

point on the meridian about 1 mile north. From this meridian the 

azimuths were computed.

Observations were taken by single and combined directions and the 

whole scheme of triangulation was divided into blocks of about 5 stations each and adjusted by least squares. The stations and signals consisted of low tripods of lumber with a signal pole in the center, under 

which the instrument was placed.

TRIANGULATION OF ASPEN, COLORADO

ASPEX,. COLO. 

METHODS OF WORK.

This work was commenced in 1891 by Morris Bien, who measured a 

base line 1 mile in length along one of the streets of Aspen. This 

line was expanded and a number of stations located for immediate use 

in making a large scale map of the mining district. In 1893 the triangulation was extended over an area of about 400 square miles by 

E. M. Douglas.

An attempt was made to compute a base line for the work from two 

unclosed triangles of the Hayden survey, but as the two values for the 

line thus computed differed materially they were both rejected and the 

line between Bien's station 12 and 47 as computed by him. was adopted 

for a base. It so happened that this distance is nearly the mean of the 

two determinations from the Hayden angles. The initial latitude and 

longitude for the work are from the U. S. C. & G-. S. position of Treasury Mountain, a station in the transcontinental scheme. The azimuth 

is from the U. S. C. & G. S. determination at the same point. The 

positions thus derived differ from the Hayden location about 9 seconds 

in latitude and 18 seconds in longitude. Angles were measured by the 

method of repetition in sets of five, using an 8-inch vernier theodolite 

reading,to 10 seconds. The stations and figures were arbitrarily 

adjusted, the limited extent of the work not justifying the adjustment 

by least squares.

METHODS OF WORK.

The scheme of triangulation at Laramie, Wyo., depends upon an 

astronomical station at Laramie determined in 1872 by the U. S. Geographical Surveys west of the one hundredth meridian. The instrument used was a Wurdemann zenith telescope, J. H. Clark being the 

observer. Telegraphic communication for longitude was made with 

Salt Lake City, Utah. During September, 1892, Mr. Frank Tweedy, 

of the U. S. Geological Survey, made a small development from a short 

base measured along the ties of the Union Pacific Eailroad j ust north 

of the town of Laramie. Two measurements were made with a 300- 

foot steel tape during a cloudy day, giving the following results:

Feet. 

First measurement corrected for temperature and inclination ........... 13, 040.115

Second measurement corrected for temperature and inclination......... 13, 040. 389

Difference ....................................................... 0.274

Mean base reduced to sea level......................................... 13,035.813

This base was selected and measured hurriedly in order to give the 

topographic parties immediate control for their work, it being the intention to reineasure it later in the season or to select a new base which 

would afford a better development, but this plan was not carried out. 

The ends of the base were not marked permanently but were transferred to two points, Soda and Antelope. The astronomical station 

was connected with Soda through University and not with the temporary base.

Since the astronomical station was established the city of Laramie 

has grown up around it, and it is now surrounded by trees and dwellings. The dome of the State University was connected with the station by a series of measurements along the streets of the town with a 

solar transit and a 300-foot steel tape. The instrument used in this 

triangulation was an 8-inch Fauth micrometer microscope theodolite. 

Tripod signals were built on all stations occupied in advance of the 

angle work. No least square adjustment has been applied to the triangulation.

MONTANA. 

METHODS OF WORK.

The Montana triangulation covers an area of about 50,000 square 

miles and is dependent upon a base and astronomical station located 

near Bozeman, Mont. The astronomical station was established in 1873 

by the U. S. geographical surveys west of the one hundredth meridian. 

The observer at Bozeman was Mr. J. H. Clark and the instrument 

employed was a Wiirdeinann zenith telescope of 28 inches focal length. 

The telegraphic connection with the observatory at Ogden, Utah, was 

made via Helena, Mont., Dr. F. Kainpf being the observer at Ogden. 

During October, 1877, Lieut. Tillman, of the TJ. S. Geographical Survey 

west of the one hundredth meridian, selected the present Bozeman 

base, which is located just west of the town of Bozeman, and measured it 

with a steel tape. He also connected it with the astronomical station 

and determined the azimuth, but carried on no expansion.

In 1883 Mr. J. H. Eenshawe, of the U. S. Geological Survey, assisted 

by Mr. H. S. Chase, remeasured the base with a secondary base apparatus. The whole line was measured once and also computed by triangulation from a second measurement of the middle third with the following result:

Meters. 

Length of base by first measurement.................................... 7,352 -642

Length of base by triangnlation from middle third................ ..... 7,352 -572

Weiglltecl mean.......................................... ^.............. 7, 352 '630

Length of base reduced to sea level......... 1........ ................... 7,350 -935

Mr. J. H. Eenshawe, during 1882, and his assistant, Mr. H. S. Chase, 

in 1883-'84, connected the base with the astronomical station and carried 

an expansion southward into the Yellowstone National Park. The 

instrument used in this triangulation was a 10-inch vernier theodolite 

reading to 10 seconds. The method of observing angles was generally 

that of circle readings and repeated angles, establishing conditions for 

station adjustment.

In 1886 Mr. E. M. Douglas was placed in charge of the triangulation 

in Montana, and during the field season of 1886-'87-'88reoccupiedmany 

of the stations of 1SS2-'S4 arid extended the triangulation through central Montana. Assisted by Mr. C. F. Urquhart, he readjusted by least 

squares the work of Mr. H. S. Chase, including many new points. The 

remainder of the triangulation in central Montana has been computed

from arbitrary adjustments, as the character of the work did not warrant 

a more rigid adjustment, the weather conditions having been very 

unfavorable for the performance of close work.

The instrument employed was an 8-inch vernier theodolite reading 

to 10 seconds. Natural points were generally sighted in advance of 

occupation. The method of reading angles was that of the earlier work 

of Messrs. Eenshawe and Chase. A number of distant outlying points 

on the north and west have been sighted to, but not occupied.

During 1889 Mr. Frank Tweedy carried a short system of triaugulation down the Yellowstone Eiver from Bridger-Crazy as a base and in 

1889 extended this work eastward to Fort Ouster and southward to the 

Wyoming line, h aving reoccupied all his stations of 1889. In this work 

the instrument used was an 8-iuch Fauth micrometer microscope theodolite. In all this work either stone cairns on the higher points or 

simple wooden tripods 10 to 20 feet high on the lower points were erected 

in advance of the instrumental work for signals.

At Fort Ouster a Check base about 5 miles long was selected and 

marked, but not measured. The stations connecting it with the triangulation were occupied, bat the base figure has not been adjusted. 

Mr. W. S. Post, in 1891, extended a narrow belt of triangles from the 

stations Eed Bluff-Little Horn near the Wyoming line eastward across 

northern Wyoming to a base at Eapid City, S. Dak., but stormy weather 

prevented his occupying his stations with sufficient completeness to 

form a connection between the Bozeman and Eapid City bases. The 

triangulation of 1891 has a somewhat weak connection with the Bozeman base through the line Bridger-Crazy.

METHODS OF WORK.

The triangulation in Idaho covers an area of about 15,000 square 

miles, in the form of a parallelogram, 100 miles in breadth by 150 miles 

in length, in the center of the southern part of the State, extending 

from the western boundary as far east as Hailey. Work was begun in 

the summer of 1889 and continued during the seasons of 1890-'91-'92.

A base line 4| miles in length was measured near Boise, and the 

triangulation expansion from this base governs the topographic work. 

In the measurement of the base a steel tape line 100 feet in length was 

used with a resulting probable error of 0.19 foot. In the fall of 1889 

telegraphic connection was had with, the observatory at St. Louis and 

astronomical observations were taken to determine the position of a 

pier near the west end of the Boise base and the initial point of triangulation.

In expanding this base a 7-inch theodolite, reading to 10 seconds, was 

used during the seasons of 1889 and 1890. During the seasons of 1891 

and 1892 a 10-inch theodolite, with micrometer microscopes reading 

to 2 seconds, was used. Circle readings, direct and reverse, were the 

general order of procedure, and as a rule angles were measured between 

points, without artificial signals, these signals not being built until the 

station Was occupied, the natural points generally being sufficiently 

determinate. In a few instances in which^the object sighted was not a 

good natural point, signals were built before observations were made.

During the period of use of the 7-inch theodolite the figures were 

adjusted by the method of least squares. When the 10-inch theodolite 

was used arbitrary adjustments were made.

The triangulation and base measurements were made by either Mr.

Griswold or one of his assistants, Messrs. E. T. Perkins or F. M. Smith. 

The astronomical work was performed by Prof. E. S. Woodward, assisted 

by Mr. Griswold, in conjunction with Prof. H. S. Pritchett, at St. Louis.

SACRAMBNTOWCAPtTot

TRIANGULATION

IN

OREGON, CALIFORNIA , NEVADA

THE NOmM KTTM C
CALIFOENIA, NEVADA, AND SOUTHEEN OREGON.

METHODS OF WORK.

The triangulation of California is in three separate and independent 

sections, namely, the Cascade section, in northern California and southern Oregon the Gold Belt section, including the Sierras from Bed Bluff 

to Yosemite Valley, and from the Sacramento Valley eastward well into 

Nevada. The third section includes a few stations in the Coast Eange, 

southeast of San Francisco.

The first work was done in 1882 and continued in 1883 by Gilbert 

Thompson in the vicinity of Mount Shasta. Work was carried forward in 

this section by Mark B. Kerr and Eugene Eicksecker until 1886 and by

W. T. Griswold in 1887. All distances, azimuths, and positions depend 

on the position of Lassen and on. the line Lassen-Shas'ta, as computed by E. M. Douglas from unclosed triangles of the U. S. Coast and 

Geodetic Survey. The instrument used was an 8-inch 10-second vernier 

theodolite. Natural points were generally sighted and single and double 

angles measured by circle readings. The work was all adjusted by least 

squares.

In the Gold Belt section work was commenced in 1885 by H. M. 

Wilson, who measured a base line with steel tape near Oroville for temporary use. The distances thus obtained were afterwards replaced by 

others depending on the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey transcontinental line Marysville Butte-Pine Hill, afterwards checked by the lines 

between Lola, Pine Hill, Eound .Top and Pah Eah and Como. The 

instrument used for nearly all the work was an 8-inch 10-second theodolite. A few angles were measured in 1885 with a 7-inch theodolite. 

The method of circle readings was generally adopted -for measuring 

angles, a,ud least-square adjustment was made for station and figure.

During the years from 1889 to 1893 the triangulation was carried on 

by H. E. C. Feusier, who located points as far south as the Yosemite 

Valley and eastward into Nevada to Walker Lake. A few stations in 

California and Nevada, in the vicinity of Taylorsville, Cal., were 

occupied in 1890 by E. M. Douglas, using an 8-inch micrometer theodolite. The initial stations for this work were Lola-Pah Eah, two stations 

of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey transcontinental triangulation.

In this work good, bare, natural peaks were found on nearly all of 

the stations occupied in the Oregon and Nevada portions of the work. 

On these, stone monuments were erected to mark the stations and serve 

as signals. In the Gold Belt work, however, many of the hills were 

timbered or were so flat on top as to require the construction of special 

signals. In some cases these consisted of trimmed trees to mark the

327

station and serve as signals. In a few instances, high observing scaffolds were built, nopably in the case of Pilce County Peak, where the 

signal was placed on such a scaffold (16 feet in height. In many of the 

cases where the hills were heavily timbered, heliotropes were used 

extensively as signals and the stations marked by small cairns of rock ...

METHODS OF WORK.

The triangulation in southern California was begun in July, 1891, and 

covers an area of about0 5,000 square miles, The line Wire-Kelly, as

fixed by positions obtained from the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, 

was taken as the basis of the work of 1891, which includes the line 

Wire-Mora and all points south of that line. Subsequent work depends 

upon the line Southeast Base-San Juan, as given by the same organization. The instrument used in this work was an 8-inch nonrepeating 

theodolite reading by micrometer to two seconds, and by estimation to 

one-fifth of a second. The angles were measured individually and by 

directions with telescope direct and reversed and on different positions 

of the circle. The station adjustment was made arbitrarily, the angles 

being required to agree among themselves and to close the horizon. 

Figures were adjusted by the method of least squares. All work in 

connection with this triangulation was done by Mr. A. P. Davis.

PLATEAU REGION OF NEW MEXICO, EASTERN ARIZONA,

 AND UTAH. '

METHODS OF WORK.

This triangulation extends over parts of northern New Mexico and 

eastern Arizona and southeastern Utah, with a few points reaching 

into Nevada, California, and Colorado. The work depends on the base 

line at Fort Wingate, New Mexico, which was measured and expanded 

in 1881 and 1882, and the triangulation carried forward as required for 

topographic work until the year 1890.

The base line was measured by Prof. J. Howard Gore in 1881, in the 

valley of the Rio Puerco, near Fort Wingate, using a 4-meter base 

bar apparatus designed by the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, and 

has a length, after all corrections are applied, of 6,721,893 meters. 

The latitude, longitude, and azimuth of the base were determined in 

1883 by Prof. A. H. Thompson,0 assisted by Arthur P. Davis. A 

Wurdeman combined zenith telescope and transit was used. Longitude was obtained by exchange of time signals with the observatory 

of the Washington University at St. Louis, Prof. H. S. Pritchett 

conducting the observations and exchanges at this place. Latitude 

was determined by the method of zenith distances.

The final results of .these observations gives as the position of the 

east end of the Wingate base line: Latitude, 35° 30' 17-"SO. Longitude, 108° 30' 28-"08.

The expansion was made by Prof. Gilbert Thompson, in 1881, and 

Prof. A, H. Thompson in 1882 arid 1883, from the base line, both using 

a Kubel 10-inch repeating vernier theodolite reading to five seconds. 

Different stations were> used in these separate expansions. Subsequent triangulation was performed with the same instrument by 

Arthur P. Davis until 1890, when a nonrepeating 8-inch micrometer 

theodolite was used. In the latter part-of the season of 1890 the observations were made by Mr. Fred. J. Knight. All that portion of the 

triangulation west of the one hundred and twelfth meridian was executed by Mr. H. M. Wilson in 1884, with an 8-inch vernier theodolite 

reading to ten seconds.

In general, the method adopted for the measurement of angles was 

that of directions, the aim being to obtain from eight to twelve complete sets, including all visible stations. Readings were made on different parts of the circle and with the telescope in direct and reversed 

position. Measurements were made of single angles and of combinations, in order to obtain conditions for the adjustment, which was made 

both of stations and figures, by the method of least squares.

Many of the stations in this triangulation were natural points. 

Upon these no signals were erected before observing. In other cases, 

signals, either of stone, brush, or trees, were erected. In all cases permanent marks were left to indicate the exact point sighted.

The triangulation coveted and gave control points for topography 

over an area of, approximately, 94,000 square miles.

A descriptive list of stations follows:

IfA.VA.JO.

In San Juan Co., Utah, south of the Colorado Elver, near Lee's Ferry. 

It is difficult to approach except from the south. It is heavily timbered, with tall pine and balsam. The station consists of a scaffold, 

built of five tall trees near the highest point. The instrument was 

placed on this scaffold, and lanes cut to the points sighted. The signal 

was seen from Wilson, Oraibe, Calabasa, Sonsala, Pastora, Ute Peak, 

Abajo, and Peale, the latter being over 140 miles distant. When Navajo 

was occupied the tallest tree had to be cut off for a support for the 

theodolite independent of the platform. The instrument was 27 feet 

above the ground.

BAKERS BUTTE.

Is a knoll OD the edge of the Mogollon mesa, above Tonto Basin, 

about 8 miles west of the " Tunnel," in Yavapai Co., Ariz. It was 

heavily timbered, but has been cleared, except a large pine tree near 

the top, to which observations were reduced. The "Potato Eanch," a 

mile to the north, is a convenient and excellent camp from which to 

visit the butte.

TBIANGULATION OF THE POWELL SURVEY. 

METHODS OF WOKK.

The triangulation in this State was developed from two base lines, 

the first being measured at Kanab, Utah, and the second at Gunnison, 

in the same State. These base lines are 150 miles apart, the Gunnison 

line being the more northern and eastern. The Kanab base was first 

located and measured under direction of Prof. A. H. Thompson, in the 

winter of 1871-'72. Trussed wooden bars, supported upon adjustable 

trestles, were used. These bars were oiled and varnished to prevent 

absorption of moisture and tested by comparison with a standard steel 

tape, whose length and coefficient of temperature were kuoAvn.

In the fall of 1878 a portion of this base line was remeasured under 

direction of Prof. G. K. Gilbert, with the apparatus used in the measurement of the Gunnison base line, and the result of this latter measurement adopted as the length of the Kanab base. The ends of the base 

line were marked by stone posts of basalt set firmly in the ground, the 

ends of the line being marked by a cut in the upper surface of the 

posts.

The latitude and longitude of the Kanab base line were determined 

by Prof. A. H. Thompson, in 1872. For longitude, time signals were 

exchanged with the astronomical observatory of the Deseret University 

at Salt Lake City, Mr. E. P. Austin, astronomer of the U. S. Engineers 

Geographical Survey west of the one hundredth meridian, whose services were kindly tendered by Lieut. Geo. M. Wheeler, in charge of that 

organization, conducting the observations and exchanges at that place.

Latitude was determined by the Talcott method of zenith distances, 

the instrument used being a combined transit and zenith telescope. 

Azimuth was determined by observations on Polaris.

The final adjusted results of these observations gives, as the position 

of the north end of the Kanab base line, longitude 112° 31' 21"42 W., 

latitude 36° 57' 46"-54 N.

The Gunnison base line was measured under the direction of Prof. 

A. H. Thompson, in 1875, the measurement being made by wooden rods 

carried in a trussed wooden case. These rods were oiled and varnished 

to prevent absorption of moisture, and their length was carefully determined by comparisons with standard steel rods furnished by the U. S. 

Coast and Geodetic Survey.

The Gunnison base line was located in the meridian of the astronomical station at Gunnison, determined in 1872 by the U. S. engineers'

survey west of the one hundredth meridian, and the longitude of their 

monument adopted as the longitude of the north end of the base line. 

Its latitude was determined from observations of zenith distances by 

Prof. A. H. Thompson, in 1874. The adopted position of the north 

end of the base line is latitude 39° 08' 28"-30 1ST., longitude 111° 49' 

16"-23 W. Both ends of this base are marked by a cross on the upper 

surface of a stone post set firmly in the ground. 

. The Gunnison and Kanab bases were connected by triangulation, 

the angles being measured by a theodolite having a 10-inch circle and 

reading by two verniers to 5 seconds. This triangulation was adjusted 

by the method of least squares, and the result, giving for the Gunnison base a length of 32,182.39 feet, and for the Kanab base a length of 

22,619.73 feet, adopted for the computation of the latitudes and longitudes of the triangulation stations in Utah and northwestern Arizona.

Signals were erected on all triangulation stations, which were not 

good natural points, before the angles were observed.

The method adopted for observations of angles was usually by directions and "on different parts of the circle. These angles were then 

repeated with the telescope in reversed position. From three to eight 

sets of these observations were made. After making an arbitrary 

station adjustment, all figures were adjusted by the method of least 

squares. 

This system of triangulation covered and gave control points for 

topography over an area of approximately 108,000 square miles. Following is a descriptive list of triangulation stations, giving latitude and 

longitude of each station, together with azimuth and distances to such 

other stations as were used in the adjustment of figures.

THREE TREES.

A high point on the Vermilion Cliff, in Coconino Co., Ariz., three 

miles west from Wolf Spring. It can be approached oil horseback only 

from the north. The eminence is sandy and was covered with pine. 

All but three of the trees were felled and from those the lower branches 

were cut so as to leave tall shafts, with tufts of foliage at the top. The 

one used as the monument is the most northerly of the three and stands 

on higher ground than the others. The others were merely to aid in 

the identification of the station. To an observer standing at New, 

Brink, Brow, or Brian the monument appears as the middle tree. From 

Pipe and Emma it appears at the left of the others. From Kanab 

South, Shinarump, Navajo Well, Mansard, Table Cliff, and Pink Cliff 

it appears at the right.
