INTRODUCTION

History and cooperation. Massachusetts had been entirely mapped 

by the United States Geological Survey in cooperation with the 

Commonwealth before 1896, the year in which the Geological Survey 

was first authorized to establish benchmarks. The cooperative topographic survey of the State was completed in 1887, but there is no 

record that any leveling was done as an aid to the mapping resulting 

from this survey. The recorded cooperative leveling in the State 

did not begin until 1922, and the present bulletin is the first to be 

published by the United States Geological Survey embodying the 

results of its leveling in Massachusetts.

The contours shown on the quadrangle maps made before 1896 were 

of necessity based only upon the meager leveling control then available, 

supplemented by vertical angles. The earliest leveling before 

1893 was done by State or municipal agencies and was purely local 

in scope. It was based upon various tidal datum planes for areas 

adjoining the coast and upon assumed datum planes for inland areas. 

In 1893, however, the State Topographic Commission undertook the 

task of providing reference heights for use both in reducing the main 

points of triangulation to a common geodetic surface and in the future 

revision of maps. For this purpose the commission engaged the 

services of C. H. Van Orden, of the United States Coast and Geodetic 

Survey, to extend a line of spirit leveling of high precision, based upon 

mean sea-level datum, along the Boston & Albany Railroad from 

Boston to Albany, there to connect with the precise leveling previously 

done by the Coast and Geodetic Survey along the Hudson River. 

This line was run by the double simultaneous method, using a Buff & 

Berger (cradle) precise level and one-piece rods treated with paraffin. 

The Van Orden line was apparently the first leveling of its character 

and scope attempted in Massachusetts by either a State or a Federal 

bureau. The results of this leveling were published in an appendix to 

the State Topographic Commission's report for 1893. 1

' See Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Report of the commissioners on the topographical survey for 

the year 1893, Boston, 1894.

2 SPIRIT LEVELING IN MASSACHUSETTS, 1922-35

In 1922, in cooperation with the War Department, the United States 

Geological Survey remapped the area within and adjacent to Camp 

Devens, near Ayer. Elevations to control the contouring of this 

area were determined by extending loops of third-order leveling (see 

p. 3), starting from previously established marks at Nashua, N. H., 

and including short local circuits in the Camp Devens area. Standard 

benchmarks were established along these lines of leveling, complying 

with the modern practice of third-order leveling. These local circuits 

have since been tied in by a line of levels run by the Commonwealth,' 

and the results adjusted accordingly.

The United States Coast and Geodetic Survey began its first-order 

leveling in Massachusetts in 1923, when it extended a line northward 

across the State along the Connecticut River, another from Westerly, 

R. L, to Boston, and a third from Boston to Portland, Maine. In 1933 

it reran the line from Springfield to Albany, N. Y., which formed part 

of the line originally run by the State Topographic Commission of 

1893. The first-order level net thus established was further augmented 

by several hundred miles of first- and second-order leveling executed 

by engineers of the Massachusetts Department of Public Works, 

most of which was distributed through the eastern part of the State 

and all connected with the leveling done by the Coast and Geodetic 

Survey.

Since October 1932 the United States Geological Survey has 

cooperated with the Commonwealth in a detailed remapping program, 

as a result of which lines of third-order leveling have been extended 

into quadrangles included in Barnstable, Bristol, Franklin, Hampden, 

Hampshire, Norfolk, Plymouth, Suffolk, and Worcester Counties. 

This program is still in progress. Benchmarks of the United States 

Coast and Geodetic Survey and the Massachusetts Department of 

Public Works were used as base points for third-order lines. The work 

was done in accordance with regulations prescribed for third-order 

leveling by the United States Geological Survey.2

Although, as previously stated, the third-order lines run by the 

United States Geological Survey in Massachusetts are tied to and 

based upon the first- and second-order lines run by the United States 

Coast and Geodetic Survey and the Massachusetts Department of 

Public Works, this bulletin includes the results of the work done by 

the Geological Survey only.

 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 3 consists of leveling done with the most 

improved instruments, all sections being leveled twice, in opposite

» See Douglas, E. M., Leveling: U. S. Oeol. Survey Bull. 788; pp. 117-160,1918.

 See Avers, H. J., Manual of first-order leveling, U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Special Pub. 140, 

1929.

directions, under varying conditions. Closures are not allowed to 

exceed the amount in feet represented by the formula

0.017y length of section in miles.

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

applied, 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 United States 

Geological Survey, comprises lines leveled twice with reliable instruments, though not necessarily of the most improved type. Closures 

are not allowed to exceed 0.035V length 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 New York 

rods, in single-line circuits that are required to close within the limits, 

in feet, of 0.05 ^ length of circuit in miles. This is equivalent to 

0.071 V length of section if the line is leveled twice.

Adjustments. The adjustment of a leveling net 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 

to remove accidental closure errors by the mathematical method 

known as least squares. The Istfest 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 Massachusetts, and the 

elevations thus derived are the fundamental references for elevations 

determined by second- and third-order nets. The third-order leveling 

of the United States Geological Survey in Massachusetts 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.

Benchmarks. The standard benchmarks used by the United States 

Geological Survey in Massachusetts in 1922 are circular tablets 

3% inches in diameter, with a thickness tapering from three-eighths of 

an inch at the center to about a quarter of an inch near the rounded 

edge. (See pi. 1.) Each tablet has a 3-inch shank attached to its 

under side at the center, by means of which it is cemented in place. 

The face of the tablet is cast with the words "U. S. Geological Survey", 

"In cooperation with the State of", "Elevation above sea feet", 

and "250 dollars fine for disturbing this mark." A cross inside a 

triangle at the center indicates the fiducial point for position or 

elevation. If the tablet is to mark a traverse station, the traverseman stamps it with his identifying letter or letters, the serial number
4 SPIRIT LEVELING IN MASSACHUSETTS, 1922-35

of the station, and the year, using steel dies. If the tablet is set as a 

benchmark, the levelman stamps it with his identifying letter or 

letters, the serial number, and the year. Later, the figures of elevation 

to the nearest foot as determined by field computation are stamped 

with steel dies on those tablets that serve as benchmarks, which 

include many that were set to mark traverse stations. Thus a tablet 

may serve a dual purpose, but it bears the identifying designation and 

date of one party only the party that set it. The latest style of 

tablet omits the penalty phrase and substitutes the words "For information write the Director" and "Washington, D. C.", and adds the 

word "benchmark." The figures of elevation as determined in the 

field and stamped upon the tablets are sometimes found to be in 

error, as shown by office computation, but the figures still serve to 

identify the marks. It is assumed that engineers and others who have 

 occasion to use the benchmarks and who are either not aware of the 

publication of this bulletin or have not convenient access to it will 

apply to the Director of the United States Geological Survey, Washington, D. C., for the accurate figures of elevation.

The tablets, of whatever style, are cemented into holes drilled in 

solid rocks or in the walls of public buildings, bridge abutments, or 

other masonry structures. Where masonry or rock is not available, 

concrete posts are constructed with, the tablets set in their tops. 

As a rule the posts are about 8 inches square or 8 inches in diameter 

at the top, broader at the base, and reinforced with iron bars. They 

are generally set so as to project about 6 inches above ground and 

are made sufficiently long to reach below the frost line.

Supplementary benchmarks are of several types. One type consists of a copper nail 1% inches long supplied with a %-inch 

copper washer, through which it is driven into the root of a tree or some 

timber structure or cemented into rock after bending the point. The 

designation "U S G S B M" is stamped on each washer, arid on some 

of them the abbreviation of the name of the State is added. Another 

type of supplementary benchmark is a chiseled square, used on rocks 

or masonry structures in horizontal position, or a chiseled cross, used 

on structures in vertical position. Ordinary nails and track spikes 

are also used and, occasionally, easily described and recognized points, 

such as doorsills and tops of hydrants.

Preservation and restoration of benchmarks. Any person who finds 

that a standard benchmark 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 v by communicating 

the facts to the Director, United States Geological Survey, 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
INTRODUCTION O

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 United States Geological 

Survey and those determined by the United States 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 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 levels determined from 

observations made in the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and 

the Pacific Ocean.4

Index map. The accompanying index map of Massachusetts 

(fig. 1) shows the relative position of the mapped quadrangle areas 

which make up the State, most of which extend 15 minutes in both 

latitude and longitude. The benchmark descriptions in this bulletin 

are grouped according to these quadrangle areas. The 15-minute 

quadrangles designated Falmouth, Northampton, Plymouth, and 

Springfield have been subdivided, as shown in figure 2, into 7%- 

minute quadrangles, and the descriptions and elevations of benchmarks in these areas appear in lists headed by the names of the 

smaller quadrangles. Maps of the quadrangles 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 United States Geological Survey, or in cash the 

exact amount at sender's risk. Postage stamps should not be 

sent.

The heavy black lines on the index map indicate the routes of the 

third-order lines of leveling in Massachusetts run by the United 

States Geological Survey. The light dotted lines indicate the routes 

followed by the first- and second-order lines of leveling of the United 

States Coast and Geodetic Survey. An extensive net of first- and 

second-order leveling has been run also by the Massachusetts De4 See Jones, E. L., Hypsometry Use of mean sea level as the datum for elevations: U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Special Pub. 41, 1917; Manual of tide observations: U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Special

partment of Public Works, but to avoid confusion it is not shown on 

the accompanying map. Results of the work done by the Massachusetts Department of Public Works appear in a pamphlet published

by that organization,5 which has published also a large-scale diagram 

showing the level lines run.

INTRODUCTION 7

It will be noticed that many of the Geological Survey's lines appear 

on the accompanying index map (fig. 1) as spurs, and some even seem 

to be entirely disconnected from other lines of leveling. This fragmentary appearance is due to the omission on the map of the lines 

run by the Massachusetts Department of Public Works, although 

actually the Public Works lines were used to close circuits.

Personnel and equipment. The field work of the United States 

Geological Survey in the Camp Devens area was done by a party 

composed of a levelman, a recorder, and two rodmen. D. H. Baldwin, geodetic engineer, was in charge of the party and acted as levelman. A precise prism level and two 12-foot wooden rods were used, 

each rod having an invar metal strip inlaid in its front surface. The 

invar strip was graduated to hundredths of a yard, the larger divisions 

of yards and tenths of a yard being indicated on the adjoining surface

of the rod itself.6 Three-thread readings, in yards, with each reading 

estimated to the nearest thousandth of a yard, were made for each 

backsight and each foresight, and corresponding direct center-thread 

observations to hundredths of a foot were made on a supplementary 

scale on the back of the rod as checks against gross errors.

Most of the leveling of the United States Geological Survey in 

Massachusetts since 1932 has been done by three parties working 

concurrently, each consisting of a levelman, two rodmen, and a 

recorder. In addition, when occasion required, a fourth party, consisting of an engineer and his assistant, aided in the work by setting 

benchmarks in advance of the leveling. K. G. Clinite, associate 

geodetic engineer, was in charge of the parties and also acted as

levelman. The names of the other levelmen engaged in this work 

appear under the appropriate route titles. Prism levels of the Staack 

design 7 and invar-strip yard rods were used by all parties except 

the party engaged in setting benchmarks. The yard rods were also 

calibrated on one edge in units corresponding to 0.06 foot, which 

afforded a check for each rod reading when the backsights and foresights were recorded in yards by center-thread observation alone. 

Each levelman stamped his identifying letter or letters and the 

appropriate serial number on each standard tablet he established. 

Figures of elevation to the nearest foot obtained from field computations approximately in agreement with the 1929 general adjustment 

of the first-order level net were also stamped on all the standard 

tablets thus placed as permanent benchmarks.

The adjustment of the third-order level net, the correlation and 

compilation of the descriptions and elevations of benchmarks in the 

lists for the various quadrangles, and the assembling of the lists were 

done in the Washington office of the United States Geological Survey 

by R. G. Clinite, associate geodetic engineer, under the immediate 

supervision of R. M. Wilson, chief of the section of computing, and 

the general direction of J. G. Staack, chief topographic engineer.

' The Staack prism level was designed in the division of field equipment of the United States Geological 

Survey and named in honor of J. Q. Staack, chief topographic engineer of the Survey.
