SPIRIT LEVELING IN MICHIGAN, 1896-1938

J. G. STAACK, Chief Topographic Engineer

INTRODUCTION

Scope of report. This bulletin contains the results of all spirit leveling in Michigan done by the Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior, including those heretofore published. 1 Descriptions of the points for which figures of elevation have been determined 

are listed according to the quadrangles in which the points occur, and 

the quadrangles are arranged in alphabetic order. Results of spirit 

leveling other than that done by the Geological Survey are not included.

As a supplement to the list of bench marks given in this bulletin, a 

tabulated list of approximate elevations of other points of interest in 

the State is appended.

Cooperation. Leveling in Michigan by the Geological Survey prior 

to 1902 was carried on under allotments from Federal funds. In the 

fiscal years 1902, 1904-21, 1926, and 1927 the State, through the 

office of the State Geologist, contributed to the cost of mapping and 

control surveys. The Michigan State Highway Department, as the 

cooperating agency for the State, entered into an agreement with the 

Geological Survey in 1929 to conduct surveys for a control and mapping program, the cost to be shared equally. This agreement terminated at the close of the fiscal year 1939.

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-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-\/length of section in miles.

2 SPIRIT LEVELING IN MICHIGAN, 1896-1938

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-ylength 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 0.05-\/length of circuit in miles. This is equivalent to 0.071-y/length of section if the line is leveled twice.

All leveling done by the Geological Survey in Michigan 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 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 Michigan, 3 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 Michigan 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 o^^iiia^y bencK 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.

INTRODUCTION 6

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 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 bronze 

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 the cross at the center. Tablets bearing a triangle enclosing 

a cross may be used not only as bench marks but also as triangulationor 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, such as 

'Trim 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 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
4 SPIRIT LEVELING IN MICHIGAN, 1896-1938

field. It is assumed that engineers and others who require accurate 

figures of elevation for the marks will use those printed hi the bulletin, 

instead of accepting the stamped figures. If the appropriate bulletin 

is not conveniently accessible, a request for the desired information 

may be addressed to the Director, 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 36 to 48 inches long and generally are set so as 

to project about 6 inches above ground.

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 8)2 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 hi 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. This 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 l}( 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 "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 rocks or masonry structures, 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 recog-

nized 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 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 hot 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 oj 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 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 hi the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and 

the Pacific Ocean. 4

Index maps. The accompanying index maps of Michigan (pis. 2 

and 3) show the relative position of the quadrangle areas in which 

leveling has been done by the Geological Survey. A quadrangle is 

the unit adopted by the Geological Survey for dividing the topographic map of the United States into atlas sheets. All the quadrangles that appear on these index maps measure 15 minutes of 

latitude by 15 minutes of longitude.

Maps of quadrangles in Michigan for which surveys have been 

completed may be purchased from the Geological Survey at 10 cents 

each retail or 6 cents each in lots of 50 or more. Prepayment is required and may be made by money order, payable to the Director of

Postage stamps should not be sent.

Personnel. The leveling of the Geological Survey in Michigan was 

done under the general supervision of the chief geographers or chief 

topographic engineers who were in administrative charge of the topographic branch during the years 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 which precedes the descriptions of bench marks.

The work of preparing the bulletin included the adjustment of the 

third-order level net by E. W. Tibbott, computer, and the correlation 

and compilation of the descriptions and elevations of bench marks in 

the lists for the various quadrangles by R. G. Clinite, associate geodetic engineer, both 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.

i,'The greater portion of this quadrangle lies in Wisconsin. The Michigan portion lying between the 

Menominee River on the south and the line between Tps. 40 and 41 N. on the north was originally surveyed 

and published, together with a portion of the Norway quadrangle, as Menominee Iron Range special project.

' The elevations in this line are based on the top of rail of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific 

Railroad in front of the station at Iron Mountain, the elevation of which is tentatively accepted as 1,133.58 

feet or 1.42 feet lower than the figures previously published. The figures of elevation are approximate but 

are very nearly in accord with the 1929 general adjustment.

63 A small portion of this quadrangle lies in Wisconsin. An area in the Michigan portion about 6 miles in 

width and extending southeastward across the quadrangle was surveyed and originally published, together 

with a portion of the Iron Mountain quadrangle, as Menominee Iron Eange special project.

64 The elevations in this line are based on the top of rail of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific 

Railroad in front of the station at Iron Mountain, the elevation of which is tentatively accepted as 1,133.58 

feet or 1.42 feet lower than the figures previously published. The figures of elevation are approximate but 

are very nearly in accord with the 1929 general adjustment.

41 In 1929 this bench mark was reset. For the new location and elevation see p. 494.

4« In 1929 this bench mark was recovered and the elevation determined at that time indicated that it 

had been raised.0.572 foot,.probably by frost action. It was reset and restamped and the new location and 

elevation are given on p. 494.

48 This railroad is now abandoned.

44 In 1934 the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey reported an elevation of 832.118 feet for this bench mark.
