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, 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 GeologicaJ 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-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

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 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 Q.OS^length of circuit in miles. This is 

equivalent to 0.07length 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 northcentral 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

INTRODUCTION 243

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," "P T S," or "T T," as weU 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
244 SPIRIT LEVELING IN TEXAS PART 4. NORTH-CENTRAL TEXAS

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 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 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 inscriptiony 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 

f urface 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 

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 oj 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 Jrom 

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

the Pacific Ocean. 3

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

this bulletin and as the subject of part 4 of the bulletin, is that section of the State lying north of latitude 30° and between longitudes 97° 

.and 100°. (See fig. 7.)

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

(fig. 8) 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-rninute

ment 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 north-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. 

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 NORTH- CENTRAL

TEXAS

The table below shows altitudes of well-known features in northcentral 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.84

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.
