DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, 

UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY,

Washington, D. 0. , June 6, 1900.

SIR: I have the honor to transmit herewith, for publication as a 

bulletin, the results of the primary triangulation and the leveling 

executed in Indian Territory from 1895 to 1898, inclusive. 

Very respectfully,

C. H. FITCH, Topographer.

TRIANGULATION AND SPIRIT LEVELING IN 

INDIAN TERRITORY.

By C. H. FITCH.

INTRODUCTION.

An act of Congress, approved March 2,1895, appropriated $200,000 

for the survey and subdivision of lands in Indian Territory, and the 

work was placed, at the discretion of the Secretary of the Interior, 

in charge of the Director of the Geological Survey.

A plan of operations was approved by the Secretary of the Interior 

March 21, 1895, Mr. C. H. Fitch was placed in immediate charge of 

the field work, and preparations were at once made for beginning 

operations. The requisite instruments, animals, and equipment were 

soon purchased and a small force took the field about the 1st of April. 

The force was increased as rapidly as consistent with economic management until about 300 men were engaged in the work of surveying 

standard, township, and subdivision lines.

The approved plan included the preparation of a topographic map 

of the area surveyed, which necessitated the execution of a system of 

triangulation and the running of spirit-level lines, thus affording horizontal and vertical control for the topographic map as well as the linear 

measurements.

The first parties organized were for the establishment of standard 

and township exterior lines. Subdivision parties were next organized, 

each party being divided into two camps with two surveyors in each 

camp, under the direction of a topographer of the survey whose duties 

included superintendence of the work of subdivision by the surveyors 

and the mapping the country subdivided.

An additional appropriation of $200,000 was provided by Congress 

June 10. 1896, also of $100,000 June 6,1897, and $30,000 January 28, 

1898. The latter amount would probably not have been necessary 

had the survey progressed without interruption, but the disbanding 

of the field parties in the spring of 1897, caused by the delay in the 

provision of funds and the long moves of the parties in the reorganization, added considerably to the expense. A resurvey of the lands of

15
16 ' TBIANGULATION AND SPIEIT LEVELING [BULL. 175.

the Chickasaw Nation was provided for in the act approved June 6, 

1897, which appropriated $141,500 for this purpose.

The total amount appropriated for surveys in Indian Territory, 

which included the lands of the Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws, and 

Seminoles, was $530,000, which added to the amount provided for the 

resurvey of the Chickasaw lands amounts to $671,500. 

The total number of miles of standard, township, and subdivision 

lines surveyed, from the inception of the work to its completion in 

June, 1898, was 63,881. The topographic mapping completed at the 

same time covered an area of 30,885 square miles; in connection with 

which 133 triangulation stations were established, 9,303 miles of spirit 

level and 8,594 miles of vertical angles were run, and 920- permanent 

bench marks were located.

TRIANGTJJDATION.

The base for the triangulation was measured in April, 1895, on the 

railroad tangent which passes through Savanna, a station on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway, the northern end of the base being 

about three-fourths of a mile north from Savanna station and 7 

miles south from South McAlester. This base was measured twice 

with a 300-foot steel tape under a tension of 20 pounds, and the 

temperature of tape determined at each tape length by reading three 

thermometers. The difference of the two measures (when corrected 

for difference in temperature) was 0.03 feet.

The resulting length of base, when corrected for temperature, 

inclination, and reduced to sea level, is 24,893.451 feet, log. meters= 

3.8800962.

Stations in the expansion were selected on the wooded ridges to the 

eastward and signals from 25 to 40 feet high erected. The lines, 

between these stations formed bases for the main triangulation, which 

in 1895 was extended 45 miles southward and 110 miles northward from 

the base. The triangulation south of Savanna was executed by Mr. 

S. S. Gannett in May and June, 1895, the triangulation north of Savanna 

to the Kansas line by Mr. C. F. Urquhart during 1895,1896, and 1897.

Mr. Urquhart also extended triangulation over the Chickasaw 

Nation between February and June, 1898. Mr. H. L. Baldwin, jr., 

controlled the eastern portion of the Choctaw Nation in 1897. Triangulation was extended into Grayson County, Texas, by Mr. Jeremiah 

Ahern during the latter part of the season of 1898.

The total number of stations occupied by the various observers was 

133, the greater number being occupied by Mr. Urquhart.

The instruments used were Fauth theodolites, each having a circle 8 

inches in diameter and reading by micrometer microscopes to 2" of arc.

In most cases the theodolite was elevated from 25 to 60 feet, in order

to see above the timber. An interior tripod, made of 2 by 4 inch scantling, well braced, was first erected; outside of this, and entirely independent of it, a four-sided platform was built for the observer to 

stand on and also to support the signal, which was above center of 

tripod.

The total area controlled is about 31,000 square miles.

The geodetic coordinates of all stations were first computed from 

Savanna astronomic station, using the observed azimuth taken at 

north base.

Check azimuth observations were made at stations Barber, Harman, 

Purcell, and Good.

After connections with other astronomic positions had been made, as 

mentioned below, a mean value dependent upon all four was adopted 

and a constant correction of +1.08" in latitude and +10.72" in longitude was applied to all positions previously computed.

In 1896-97 connection Avas made with Poteau, Cavanal, Peak, and 

Sugarloaf, stations of the Arkansas triangulation of 1887, whose positions depend upon a mean value adopted from Fort Smith and Little 

Rock astronomic stations of the United States Coast and Geodetic 

Survey.

In 1899, Marlow, the extreme western triangulation station in 

the Chickasaw Nation, was connected by primary traverse with the 

astronomic station of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey 

at Marlow railroad station.

In December, 1899, Wasson triangulation station, in the northern 

portion of the Cherokee Nation, was connected by primary traverse 

with the astronomic station located in 1884 by Prof. R. S. Woodward, 

United States Geological Survey, at Oswego, Kansas^

Incidentally to the connection between Wasson triangulation station 

and Oswego the latitude of the Kansas-Indian Territory boundary line 

was determined by Mr. E. M. Douglas, in December, 1899, from 

Oswego, the value 37° 00' 04.18" being 422 feet north of the parallel 

of 37°.

base on solid rock.

Observations for latitude and longitude were made with the Fauth \ 

combined transit and zenith telescope, No. 534.

The latitude was determined by Talcott's method, and the Washington Observatory at St. Louis was used as the initial or base station for 

the longitude determination. The observer at St. Louis was Mr. A. t 

Ramel and at Savanna Mr. S. S. Gannett, the relative personal equation of the observers being determined on two nights in April, 1895, v 

preceding the longitude observations proper, the result showing that Y 

Ramel observed later than Gannett 0.075"±0.024".

\Uf The difference of longitude Avas determined on five nights, the mean 

being 22'32.179"d= 0.017".

SPIRIT LEVELING.

The elevations in the following list are based on bench mark XLI 

of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, located at Fort 

Smith, Arkansas. This mark was placed in 1889, and is a copper bolt 

leaded in the west wall of the United States jail (brick). The bolt is 

in the first course above the limestone base, and about 1 meter above 

the ground. It is in the fifth brick from the panel formed by the side 

of the building and the brick ventilator. The jail is a new pressedbrick addition to the old United States building. A cross was cut in 

the end of the bolt, and the intersection of the lines forming the cross 

is the bench mark. The letters "U. S. B. M." were cut in the base 

stone immediately below the bolt. Height above the mean level of 

the Gulf, 446.29 feet.

From this bench mark two lines of levels were run, one over the St. 

Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway to Wagoner, Indian Territory; then south over the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway to 

milepost No. 519, where a closure of 0.430 feet was made on the other 

line of levels which had been run from Fort Smith, Arkansas, over 

the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad to Wister, Indian Territory; 

then west over the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf Railroad to South 

McAlester, Indian Territory; then north over the Missouri, Kansas 

and Texas Railway to mile pole No. 519. The level lines from Fort 

Smith, Arkansas, to Wagoner, Indian Territory, and Fort Smith, 

Arkansas, to South McAlester, Indian Territory, were run by two 

levelmen over each line. Messrs. J. Phelan and C. H. Hickman 

started the line from Fort Smith, Arkansas, to Wagoner, Indian Territory, but were afterwards relieved by Messrs. A. F. Hassan and R. 

Coe. Messrs. R. Coe and G. A. Purington started the line from Fort 

Smith, Arkansas, to South McAlester, Indian Territory, but Mr. Coe 

was afterwards relieved by Mr. H. C. McCluer. The remainder of 

the railroad levels were run by a single levelman using two rods. 

From Wister, Indian Territory, Mr. H. C. McCluer ran south over 

the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad to Paris, Texas; and then 

west over the Texas and Pacific Railway to Sherman, Texas, where a 

closure of 0.915 feet was made with line run by Messrs. G. A. Purington and W. R. Manning south over the Missouri, Kansas and Texas 

Railway to Sherman, Texas. Starting from Denison, Texas, on the 

Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway, Messrs. R. Coe and R. T. Carnall ran west over said line to Gainesville, Texas. From that point the 

line was carried north by Messrs. R. Coe and A. F. Hassan over the 

Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway to Oklahoma Cit}^, Oklahoma 

Territory; then east by Mr. R. Coe over the Choctaw, Oklahoma and 

Gulf Railroad to mile pole No. 66, near Dale, Oklahoma Territory, 

Bull 175 6
82 TRIANGULATION AND SPIRIT LEVELING [BULL. 175.

where a closure of 0.146 feet was made with line brought west by Mr. 

E. L. Faison from South McAlester, Indian Territory, over the 

Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf Railroad. From Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Territory, Mr. R. Coe ran west over the Choctaw, Oklahoma 

and Gulf Railroad to Fort Reno, Oklahoma Territory, and then south 

from El Reno Junction, Oklahoma Territory, over the Chicago, Rock 

Island and Pacific Railway through Indian Territory to the Red River. 

Then returning a few miles north to the intersection of the railway 

with the first standard parallel south, of the Chickasaw Survey, he 

ran east along the said parallel to the Indian meridian, where he made 

a closure of 0.566 feet on the line of levels extended by Mr. J. H. 

Carlock westward from the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway to 

the Indian meridian. Elevations of the portions of this circuit that 

lay in Oklahoma Territory have been included by Mr. J. H. Renshawe, 

topographer, in the report for the fiscal year 1897-98.

From Wagoner, Indian Territory, levels were run north by Messrs. 

A. F. Hassan, C. B. Odell, and R.. Coe, over the Missouri, Kansas 

and Texas Railway to Chetopah, Kansas, and from there west by 

Mr. R. Coe, over the Missouri Pacific Railway to Coffey ville, Kansas, 

making a closure of 1.009 feet on line run north from Wagoner, Indian 

Territory, by Mr. C. B. Odell over the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and 

Southern Railway to Coffeyville, Kansas. Levels were also run on the 

St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad from Sapulpa, Indian Territory, 

to its intersection with the Indian Territory-Missouri line, crossing the 

St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway at Claremore, Indian 

Territory, and the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway at Vinita, 

Indian Territory; along the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf Railroad, 

from the Indian Territory-Arkansas line, near Page, Indian Territory, north to Siloam Springs, Arkansas, crossing the St. Louis and 

San Francisco Railroad near Poteau, Indian Territory, and St. Louis, 

Iron Mountain and Southern Railway near Sallisaw, Indian Territory.

It will be seen from the above resume that Indian Territory has 

been well controlled by double-rodded lines along the various railroads, 

all so run as to form closed circuits, which have all closed quite satisfactorily considering the conditions of extreme heat and cold, as well 

as high winds, which existed at various times during the work. These 

lines along the railroads were used as precise levels, and all land lines 

were connected to these at the points of intersection.

All permanent bench marks were stamped to the nearest foot.
