INTRODUCTION.

Previous publication. All results of spirit leveling in Idaho published by the United States Geological Survey in Bulletin 487 and all 

results of later work in the State are included in this report. Most of 

the elevations are based on the precise-level line of the U. S. Coast 

and Geodetic Survey from Seattle, Wash., via Pocatello, Idaho, to 

Evanston, Wyo., and have been corrected to agree with the adjustment made by that bureau in 1912.

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

general direction of R. U. Goode, geographer; that for 1903 to 1906, 

inclusive, under E. M. Douglas, geographer; that for 1907 under 

R. B. Marshall, geographer; and the later work under T. G. Gerdine, 

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, and since 1907 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 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 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 the formula 0.05-/D, in which D is the length 

of the circuit in miles, sufficient care being given 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.

6' SPIEIT LEVELING IN IDAHO/1896-1914.

Benchmarks. 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,> PL 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, which is set about 3 feet in the 

ground. It is split at the bottom and expanded 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 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 (6r, 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 ^-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 tKe 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 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 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 levels determined from 

observations in the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, or the Pacific 

Ocean.
PEECISE LEVELING. °7

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 wholly or 

partly in Idaho have been published by the United States Geological 

Survey up to December 31, 1914. They may be obtained, except as 

noted, for 10 cents each or $3 for fifty, on application to the Director 

of the Survey at Washington, D. C.

CANYON AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list are results of a line of precise 

leveling begun at Huntington, Oreg., and run southeast along the 

Oregon Short Line Railroad in Idaho to Ontario, Oreg. This line was 

redetermined by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, being part of its 

transcontinental line of precise leveling, and was corrected to accord 

with the heights .obtained by the 1912 adjustment.

The double simultaneous method of leveling was employed, using a 

Van Orden type of precise level and special rods.

The leveling was done in 1903 by C. H. Semper.

For results along this line in Oregon see Bulletin 556.

BANNOCK AND BEAR LAKE COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list are part of the results of leveling 

done in 1909 in Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming, and are based on a bench 

mark of the Coast and Geodetic Survey near Onyx, Bannock County, 

Idaho, the first given in the following list. The elevation of this bench 

mark is accepted as 4,620.171 feet above mean sea level. From Onyx 

the line was run over the Oregon Short Line R. R. to a point 3.5 miles 

south of Montpelier, thence south by road through Laketown and 

Randolph, Utah, to Evanston, Wyo., closing on the Coast and Geodetic Survey bench mark at that point.

The leveling in Montpelier, Pocatello, Slug Creek, Soda Springs, 

and Sterrett quadrangles was done in 1909 by L. F. Biggs. Additional leveling was done in 1911 in Montpelier quadrangle by O. G. 

Taylor and..in Soda Springs quadrangle by D. S. Birkett. The leveling in Crow Creek quadrangle was done by Taylor; in Freedom quadrangle by Taylor and Birkett; and in Henry and Lanes Creek 

quadrangles by Birkett, all in 1911.

LEMHI COUNTY.

The following elevations were determined by an unchecked line of 

primary levels based on Coast and Geodetic Survey bench mark " W," 

1.2 miles south of Barratts, Mont. A connection was made by D. S. 

Birkett in 1912 with the last bench mark of the Idaho part of this 

line, his corrected elevation being 3.182 feet greater than the value 

of that bench mark by this line.

The leveling was done in 1910 by W. H. Barringer.

Priest Lake quadrangle. 

KOOTENAI COUNTY.

The following elevations are based on that of an iron post stamped 

"2442" near the edge of Priest Lake, at Coolin, the accepted elevation 

of which is 2,447.102 feet. Water leveling was used in determining 

elevations at other points on the lake, and from these single-spur 

primary-level lines were run, and the elevations are therefore unchecked. The Coolin elevation is determined in part through primary 

circuits and in part by a single-spur line in the Sandpoint quadrangle
96 SPIRIT LEVELING IN IDAHO, 1896-1914. . 

from the double line from Tacoma, as published on page 521 of the 

appendix to. the Twentieth Annual Report of the Geological Survey. 

The leveling was done in.1905 by A. L. Glover.

Bruneau, Mountain Home, Riddle, and Tindall quadrangles. 

ELMORE AND OWYHEE COUNTIES (Including Duck Valley Indian Reservation).

The elevations in the following list were determined by primary 

leveling done by the General Land Office and accord with the 1912 

adjustment elevation of C. & G. S. bench-mark N4 at Mountain 

Home. The net consists of a small circuit lying partly in Nevada 

with two single spur lines, and dependent upon a long unsupported 

single line from Mountain Home. The elevations are therefore 

unreliable until further checked.

The adjustment and orthometric corrections have been made by 

the U. S. Geological Survey.

The leveling in Bruneau, Mountain Home, and Tindall quadrangles 

was done in 1911, and that in Riddle quadrangle in 1911 and 1912.

The Nevada portion is contained in another list.
