SPIRIT LEVELING IN TEXAS

PART 2. THE PANHANDLE, 1896^1939

J. G. STAACK, Chief Topographic Engineer

INTRODUCTION

Scope oj report. This bulletin, which for convenience is to be 

published in seven parts, contains the results of all spirit leveling 

done by the Geological Survey in Texas, including those heretofore 

published. 1 Each of the parts deals with one of seven sections into 

which the State has been divided for this purpose and which have 

been designated northeastern, southeastern, north-central, southcentral, west-central, and western Texas, and the Panhandle. In 

each part descriptions of the points for which figures of elevation have 

been determined are listed according to the quadrangles in which 

the points occur. Kesults of spirit leveling other than that done by 

the Geological Survey have not been included.

Classification of leveling. Spirit leveling is classified according to 

the degree of refinement in the instruments and methods used and 

according to the closure errors.

First-order leveling 2 consists of leveling done with the most improved instruments, all sections being leveled twice, in opposite 

directions, under varying conditions. Closures are not allowed to 

exceed the amount in feet represented by the formula

'.* 0.017-ylength of section in miles.

All corrections for rod error, temperature, and unbalanced sights are 

supplied, as well as the orthometric corrections for convergence 

toward the poles of level surfaces of different elevations.

Second-order leveling, according to regulations of the Geological 

Survey, comprises lines leveled twice with, reliable instruments, 

though not necessarily of the most improved type. Closures are not 

allowed to exceed 0.035ylength of section in miles.

Third-order leveling is made up of lines that are run, either with 

first-order equipment or with an engineer's wye level and rods of the 

New York type, in single-line circuits that are required to clog* 

within the limits, in feet, of 0.05-ylength of circuit in miles. This is 

equivalent to 0.071-ylength of section if the line is leveled twice.

All leveling done by the Geological Survey in Texas is of third-order 

accuracy except as otherwise stated.

Adjustments. The adjustment of a net of leveling begins with the 

first-order lines. Most of these lines in both the United States and 

Canada have already been combined in a general net, and the orthometric differences derived from the observed values by correction for 

the convergence of level planes toward the north have been adjusted 

by least squares to remove accidental closure errors. The latest 

adjustment of this kind was made in 1929 by the United States Coast 

and Geodetic Survey and is known as the "1929 general adjustment of 

first-order leveling." This adjustment included the first-order lines 

in Texas, and the elevations thus derived are the fundamental references for elevations determined by second- and third-order nets. The 

third-order leveling of the Geological Survey in Texas has been adjusted by determining weighted mean elevations for new junction 

points and prorating the errors of each link. The weights are taken 

as the reciprocals of lengths of links. The third-order net has thus 

been brought into agreement with the best information available for 

the results of the fundamental first-order leveling, although the 

published figures of elevation may be changed slightly by future 

adjustments of the level net.

Bench marks. The bench marks used by the Geological Survey 

(pi. 1) are of two general classes principal and supplementary. 

Principal bench marks are placed at more or less regular intervals 

along a level line, at sites offering them protection from disturbance 

and affording favorable conditions for their future recovery. They 

are usually bronze or aluminum tablets, iron posts, or copper bolts. 

Supplementary or auxiliary bench marks are less formal in design and 

are placed between the principal bench marks. Some of the supplementary bench marks in common use are marks cut with a chisel on 

rock or masonry, spikes, and copper nails fitted with washers.

The tablets are circular in shape, measure 3% inches in diameter, 

and taper from a thickness of three-eighths of an inch at the center to 

about a quarter of an inch near the rounded edge. During a short 

period in the earlier years of the Survey's leveling the tablets set were

made of aluminum. The softness of this metal, however, made them 

susceptible to damage, so that aluminum as a material for tablets was 

soon discarded. The earliest tablets were made of bronze and it is 

the material now specified for standard tablets. Each tablet is cast 

with a 3-inch shank extending from the center of its reverse side, by 

means of which it is cemented in place, and each bears an inscription 

on its face. The inscriptions on the tablets already placed differ in 

many details, because of changes in design at various times. The 

face of every tablet, however, is cast with the words "U. S. Geological 

Survey," a cross at the center, which indicates the fiducial point for 

position or elevation, and the words "Elevation above sea." On 

some tablets the inscription indicates that they were set in connection 

with a project in which a State or other organization cooperated; on 

some, the inscription includes a triangle, which signifies a located 

point, enclosing a small cross at the center. Tablets bearing a triangle enclosing a cross may be used not only as bench marks but also 

as triangulation- or traverse-station marks. The inscription .on most 

of the tablets already set includes the warning "250 dollars fine for 

disturbing this mark," but the latest design omits this phrase and adds 

the sentence "For information write the Director, Washington, D. C."

If the tablet is set to mark a transit-traverse station, the traverseman stamps upon it with steel dies letters indicating this use of 

it, such as "Prim Trav Sta," "PTS," or "TT," as well as his own 

identifying letter or letters, the serial number of the station, and the 

year. If the tablet is set as a bench mark, the levelman stamps it 

with his identifying letter or letters, the serial number of the bench 

mark, and the year. He may at the same time stamp upon it the 

figures of elevation to the nearest foot, or these figures may be added 

later. A' tablet may be used both as a traverse-station mark and as 

a bench mark. The engineer who establishes the mark stamps it as 

noted above and records the stamping with the description to facilitate identification. Engineers who use the mark in subsequent surveys do not alter the original stamping nor add their own stampings 

with the exception of figures of elevation.

The figures of elevation that appear on a tablet are usually those 

determined by field computation only. It is sometimes found, therefore, that they do not represent the latest information. This has 

happened either because they refer to. some independent datum 

temporarily adopted before first-order trunk lines made standard 

datum available, or because a later adjustment made in the office has 

rendered necessary an appreciable change in the figures as determined 

in the field. It is assumed that engineers and others who require 

accurate figures of elevation for the marks will use those printed in the 

bulletin instead of accepting the stamped figures. If the appropriate 

bulletin is not conveniently accessible, a request for the desired infor-

mation may be addressed to the Director of the Geological Survey, 

United States Department of the Interior, Washington, D. C.

The tablet, of whatever style, is cemented into a hole drilled in 

solid rock or in the wall of a public building, bridge abutment, or 

other masonry structure. Where masonry or rock is not available the 

tablet is set in the top of a reinforced concrete post, which may be 

either precast or mixed and molded at the selected site. The posts 

are about 8 inches square or 8 inches in diameter at the top and larger 

at the base. They are generally set so as to project about 6 inches 

above ground and are made sufficiently long to reach below the 

frost line.

Antedating the concrete posts which are now constructed to hold 

the tablets, in places where masonry or rock is not available, are 

wrought-iron posts, to the tops of which are riveted bronze caps 

similar in design to the tablets. These iron posts measure 4 feet in 

length and 3K inches in outer diameter and are set about 3 feet in the 

ground. The bottom of the post spreads out to a width of about 10 

inches in order to give it a firm footing in the earth. No iron posts 

have been set in recent years. They have proved impracticable, as 

they are easily disturbed and are eventually destroyed by rust at 

the ground level.

The third form of principal bench mark, set only hi the early leveling, is a copper bolt, designed to be wedged into a drill hole in rock 

or masonry and perhaps further secured with lead or cement. This 

bolt measures 4 inches hi length and 1 inch in diameter and has a 

slot at the bottom end into which fits a brass wedge. The wedge 

serves to expand the lower part of the bolt, so that after the bolt has 

been driven nearly its full length into the hole, it cannot easily be 

removed. The exposed end of the bolt bears an appropriate inscription, stamped upon it with steel dies. The inscription is made up of 

the letters "USGS," the letters indicating the datum used, the figures of elevation, and the abbreviated word "Ft."

Supplementary bench marks are of many kinds. One kind consists of a copper nail 1% inches long supplied with a copper washer 

seven-eighths of an inch in diameter. The nail is driven into the 

root of a tree or cemented into rock. The designation "USGSBM" 

is stamped on each washer, and on some washers the abbreviation 

of the name of the cooperating State is added. Another kind of 

supplementary bench mark is a chiseled square, used on the horizontal surface of a rock or masonry structure, or a chiseled cross, 

used on a vertical surface. Nails, track spikes, and small capped 

iron pipes also serve as supplementary bench marks, and easily 

described and recognized points, such as doorsills and tops of hydrants, are occasionally used.
INTBODTJCTIOF 55

Preservation and restoration of bench marks. Any person who 

finds that a principal bench mark has been damaged, disturbed, or 

destroyed or that it should be reset or redescribed on account of highway or other improvements will render a public service by communicating the facts to the Director, Geological Survey, United States 

Department of the Interior, Washington, D. C., before taking any 

action affecting the location or elevation of the mark. A proper form, 

accompanied by a return-addressed, franked envelope, will be sent 

for use in reporting the action taken and in recording the revised description of the mark, if any, and the notes made in obtaining the 

revised elevation.

Datum. All elevations determined by the Geological Survey and 

those determined by the Coast and Geodetic Survey for inland 

mapping are referred to mean sea level, which is the level that the 

sea would assume if the influence of winds, tides, and currents were 

eliminated. This level is not the elevation determined from the 

mean of the highest and 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 those due to 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 stations on the open coast the halftide level and the mean sea level usually differ but little. It is assumed that there is no difference between the mean sea levels determined from observations made in the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of 

Mexico, and the Pacific Ocean.3

Location of the area. The Panhandle, as the term is used in this 

bulletin and as the subject of part 2 of the bulletin, is that section 

of the State lying north of latitude 32° and between longitudes 100° 

and 103°. (See fig. 3.)

Index map. The accompanying index map of the Panhandle 

(fig. 4) shows the relative position of the quadrangle areas in which 

leveling has been done. They are of two sizes 15-minute and 

30-minute quadrangles. Each 15-minute quadrangle measures 15 

minutes in latitude by 15 minutes in longitude. Each 30-minute 

quadrangle measures 30 minutes in latitude by 30 minutes in longitude and is equal in area to four 15-minute quadrangles.

Maps of quadrangles in the Panhandle for which surveys have been 

completed may be purchased at 10 cents each retail or 6 cents wholesale, in lots of 50 or more. Prepayment is required and may be made 

by money order, payable to the Director of the Geological Survey, 

or in cash the exact amount, at sender's risk. Postage stamps 

should not be sent. These maps are of nearly uniform size regardless 

of the size of the areas they represent, because they are drawn on 

different scales. For some of the 15-minute quadrangles that appear 

on the index map there are as yet no corresponding maps, but these 

areas are included in 30-minute quadrangles, for some of which maps 

may be purchased.

Cooperation. The State of Texas, through the University of Texas 

Mineral Survey in 1902 and 1903 and the State Reclamation Service 

in 1909, 1910, and 1923-27, contributed financially to the work of 

mapping and leveling this section of the State.

Personnel. The leveling of the Geological Survey in the Panhandle 

was done under the supervision of the several chief geographers or 

chief topographic engineers who were in administrative charge of the 

topographic branch during the years when the lines were run. The 

name of the levelman who ran a particular line and the date when it 

was run immediately follow the designation of the route of that line 

and form part of the heading that precedes the description of bench 

marks. The adjustment of the third-order level net and the revision, 

correlation, and compilation of the descriptions and elevations of 

bench marks, as well as the assembling of the lists, were done by R. G. 

Clinite, associate geodetic engineer, under the supervision of R. M. 

Wilson, chief of the section of computing, under the general direction 

of J. G. Staack, chief topographic engineer.

SUPPLEMENTAL ELEVATIONS IN THE TEXAS PANHANDLE

The table below shows altitudes of well-known features in the Texas 

Panhandle, such as summits and top-of rails at railroad stations, as 

assembled from records and topographic maps of the Geological 

Survey and from other sources. 40

These altitudes, with the exception of rail heights, which were 

determined by spirit leveling along the railroads, were obtained by 

barometric and vertical-angle measurements. The figures given are 

in accord with the latest information, but they are only approximate 

and should not be used for accurate work.

APPENDIX

The following information is supplemental to that published in Bulletin 883-A, Spirit Leveling in Texas, Part 1, Western Texas, which 

was issued in June 1937.

SUPPLEMENTAL ELEVATIONS IN WESTERN TEXAS

The table below shows altitudes of well-known features, mostly 

mountain summits, in western Texas as assembled from records and 

topographic maps of the Geological Survey and from other sources. 1 

The figures of elevation of triangulation stations and vertical-angle 

bench marks included in this list and indicated respectively by "A" 

and "V. A. B. M." were determined by vertical-angle measurements, 

while altitudes of features which have no marked point of reference 

were obtained by barometric observations. The figures given are in 

accord with the latest information, but they are only approximate and 

should not be used for accurate work.
