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, westcentral, 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 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

0.017V length of section in miles.

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

applied, as well as the orthometriacorrections 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 0.05 V length 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 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 in southcentral Texas has thus been brought into agreement with the best 

information available for the results of the fundamental first-order 

leveling, on some of which final adjustment has not been made. 

Therefore, these published figures of elevation are tentative.

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

INTRODUCTION 563

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 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 founol, there^ 

fore, 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 information
564 SPIRIT LEVELING IN TEXAS PART 5. SOUTH-CENTRAL TEXAS

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 hi 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 

3}£ 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 hi 

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 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 "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 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 tKe 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.

Preservation and restoration of bench marks. Any person who finds

that a principal bench mark has been damaged, disturbed, or destroyed
INTRODUCTION 565

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 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.*

Location oj the area. South-central Texas, as the term is used in 

this bulletin and as the subject of part 5 of the bulletin, is that section 

of the State lying south of latitude 30° and between longitudes 97° 

and 100°. (See fig. 9.)

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

(fig. 10) 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 south-central Texas 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

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 south-central 

Texas 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.

SUPPLEMENTAL ELEVATIONS IN SOUTH-CENTRAL

TEXAS

The table below shows altitudes of well-known features in southcentral Texas, such as summits and tops of rails at railroad stations,. 

as assembled from records and topographic maps of the Geological 

Survey and from other sources. 43

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.
