EESDLTS OF SPIEIT LEVELING IN WYOMING, 1896 TO

1912, INCLUSIVE.

E. B. MARSHALL, Chief Geographer.

INTRODUCTION.

Scope of the work. All results of spirit leveling in Wyoming previously published by the United States Geological Survey and all 

the results of later work are included in this report, rearranged by 

quadrangles. All elevations are based on 1912 adjustment heights 

of bench marks along the precise-level lines of the Coast and Geodetic 

Survey.

Personnel. The field work from 1896 to 1906, inclusive, was done 

under the general direction of E. M. Douglas, geographer; that for 

1907 to 1909, inclusive, under E. C. Barnard, geographer; and the 

later work under Sledge Tatum, 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, and D. H. Baldwin, 

topographer, and since 1907 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 VD,. 

in which D is the length of the circuit in miles, sufficient care being 

given the work to maintain this standard. For circuit closures 

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), 

3.5 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 3.5 inches in 

outer diameter and 4 feet in length. The bottom is spread out to a

5

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 1.5 inches in 

length driven through a copper washer £ 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 -j^-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. 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 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 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 preciselevel lines of the United States Geological Survey or other Government organizations are extended.

The elevations in the following list are based on 1912 adjustment 

heights of bench marks of Coast and Geodetic Survey precise-level 

lines crossing this area.

The leveling in Cheyenne quadrangle was done in 1896 by M. C. 

McFarland and in 1911 by H. C. Caldwell; in Egbert, Chugwater, 

Goshen Hole, Hartville, and Patrick quadrangles in 1896 and 1897, 

by McFarland; in Sherman quadrangle in 1902 by M. S. Bright 

and in 1903 by G. Stubblefield.

PEIMABY LEVELING. 17

Encampment Special, Grand Encampment, laramie, and Medicine Bow quadrangles.

ALBANY AND CARBON COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list result from a line of levels run 

from Coast and Geodetic Survey bench mark N at Laramie, southwest 

to Pinkhampton, Colo., thence northwest to Encampment, Wyo. The 

initial bench mark is a cross cut in the top of a copper bolt in northwest corner, of foundation of courthouse at Laramie, and its elevation 

is accepted as 7,166.547 feet. The line from Laramie to Encampment 

was run in duplicate in the forward direction by Goyne Drummond 

and E. W. Glafcke, in 1901, and the mean of the two values adopted. 

Starting from the bench mark thus established at Encampment, Donnell Miller completed the leveling for the Encampment Special 

quadrangle in 1901.

Additional leveling in Laramie quadrangle was done in 1903 by 

G. Stubblefield and in Grand Encampment and Medicine Bow quadrangles in 1904 by R. W. Wieland.

Baggs, Rawlins, and Savery Creek 30' quadrangles.

CARBON COUNTY.

The elevations in the following list are based on a Coast and Geodetic Survey bench mark at Rawlins corrected to 1912 adjustment.

The leveling was done in 1907 by L. Reinecke. The line was run 

as a single unchecked primary line for 31 miles. From there on 

rod readings to hundredths only were -made; the line must, therefore, 

be regarded as secondary, although permanent bench marks were set 

at intervals along its course.

The checked leveling in Rawlins quadrangle north of Rawlins was 

done in 1903 by E; W. Glafcke.

Aladdin, Devils Tower, Moorcroft, Newcastle, and Sundance quadrangles.

CROOK AND WESTOJJ COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list were originally based on a 

bronze tablet in the city hall at Deadwood, S. Dak., set in 1897 and 

stamped 4543, based on railroad datum. They have since been reduced 

to mean sea-level datum by applying a correction of plus 2.2 feet, derived from connections with the precise line of the Coast and Geodetic 

Survey along the railroad passing through Edgemont, S. Dak., and 

Newcastle, Wyo.

The leveling was done in the Aladdin quadrangle in 1900 by C. E. 

Worthington, in Devils Tower and Moorcroft quadrangles in 1902 by 

Chester Irvine, and in Newcastle and Sundance quadrangles in 1899 

by J. T. Stewart.

Bald Mountain, Cloud Peak, Dayton, Fort McKinney, No Wood, Rairden, and

BIG HORN, JOHNSON, AND SHERIDAN COUNTIES.

The following elevations were determined by primary leveling 

forming part of an adjusted net across the State between the precise 

level lines of the Coast and Geodetic Survey along the Chicago, 

Burlington & Quincy and the Union Pacific railroads in agreement 

with the 1912 adjustment of precise leveling. The adjustment required corrections of 1.9 feet orthometric and 1.7 additional, The 

field work was mostly dependent on an assumed railroad datum at 

Sheridan and the majority of the bench marks are stamped " Sher." 

Most of the marked elevations are 10 feet too low. The descriptions 

of these are taken from the appendixes to the Nineteenth and 

Twenty-first Annual Reports. Most of the bench marks set later were 

stamped 3 feet too high, in accordance with preliminary corrections.

The leveling was done in Sheridan quadrangle in 1897 by W. L. 

Kemp, A. L. Coleman, and H. W. Huntington; in 1897-98-99 by 

E. W. Glafcke; and in 1909 by C. F. Fisher, H. G. Parry, and F. H.

Most of the elevations in the following list are based upon a bronze 

tablet stamped " 6752 Evan" in south side of courthouse yard at 

Evanston, the elevation of which is now accepted as 6,753.966 feet 

above mean sea level. The elevations in the Cokeville, Montpelier, 

Eandolph, and Saleratus Pass quadrangles are part of the levels run 

in 1909 in Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming and are based on bench mark 

"J " of the Coast and Geodetic Survey near Onyx, Bannock County, 

Idaho. From Onyx the line was run over the Oregon Short Line 

R.'R. to a point 3.5 miles south of Montpelier, thence south along 

road through Laketown and Randolph, Utah, to Evanston, Wyo., 

closing on the Coast and Geodetic Survey, bench mark at that point.
PRIMARY LEVELING. 109

The leveling was done in Cokeville, Montpelier, and Randolph 

quadrangles in 1909 by L. F. Biggs; in Bridger quadrangle in 1897- 

98 by E. W. Hills, and in 1905 by J. H. Kent; in Evanston quadrangle in 1897-98 by Hills, and in 1901-2 by E. W. Glafcke; in 

Aspen Mountains and Twin Buttes quadrangles in 1905 by J. H. 

Kent; and in Saleratus Pass quadrangle in 1898 by Hills, and in 1909 

by Biggs.

For additional elevations in Randolph and Saleratus Pass quadrangles, Utah, and Montpelier quadrangle, Idaho, see Bulletins 566
