INTRODUCTION

Scope of 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, south-central, 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. Results of spirit leveling other than that done by the Geological Survey 

have not been included.

Classification oj leveling. Spirit leveling is classified according to 

the degree of refinement in the instruments and methods used and 

according to the closure errors.

First-ordering 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

0.017Vlength 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 Geological Survey, comprises lines leveled twice with reliable instruments, though 

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

to exceed 0.035-\/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 rods of the 

New York type, in single-line circuits that are required to close within 

the limits, in feet, of O.QSVlength of circuit in miles. This is equivalent to 0.071-v/length of section if the line is leveled twice.

All leveling done by the Geological Survey in Texas is of thirdorder 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 ortho- 

.metric 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 arc 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 traversestation 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," "P T S," or "T T," 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 figure's 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.
154 SPIRIT LEVELING IN TEXAS, PART 3, WEST-CENTRAL TEXAS

If the appropriate bulletin is not conveniently accessible, a request 

for the desired information 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 in 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 in 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 "U S G S," 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 \% inches long supplied with a copper washer seveneighths of an inch in diameter. The nail is driven into the root of 

a tree or cemented into rock. The designation "U S G S B M" 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
INTRODUCTION 155

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

Preservation and restoration oj 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__pr.op_er. 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^t|ide level. Mean sea level is the average height oj the water, 

all, stages I of--the tide being considered. .It is. determined from observations made by means of tidal gages placed at stations where local 

coriditibris, such as those-due to long, narrow bays, rivers, ah9. like 

features,: will not affect the height of the water. To obtain even 

approximately correct results these observations must extend over 

at jleast o'ne lunar month,, and if accuracy is desired they must extend 

over several years. At stations qn the open coas;t the half-tide level 

and_th_e. mean sea level usually differ .but little. .It.is assumed that 

there is no difference between the mean sea levels determined from 

observations made injthe Atlantic!Ocean, the Gulf.of Mexico, and the 

Pacific Ocean.3 i

: Location oj the area,. West-ceiitral Texas, as the term is used in 

this bulletin and as .the subject" of part 3 of. the bulletin, is that'section 

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

and 103°. (See fig. 5.)

Index map. The accompanying index map of west-central Texas 

(fig. 6) 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.

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.

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 descriptions 

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 WEST-CENTRAL TEXAS

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

mountain summits, in west-central Texas as assembled from records 

and topographic maps of the Geological Survey and from other 

sources.41 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.

*« No marks were established in that portion of the line which crosses the southwest corner of Devils 

Courthouse quadrangle.
