SPIRIT LEVELING IN CONNECTICUT, 1922-35

J. G. STAACK, Chief Topographic Engineer

INTRODUCTION

.Cooperation. Connecticut was entirely mapped by the United 

States Geological Survey in cooperation with, the State prior to 1896, 

the year in which the Federal Survey was first authorized to establish 

benchmarks. These early maps, however, were based only upon 

whatever leveling control was then available, mainly railroad 

profiles and tide gages. The elevations for contouring were extended 

from such control surveys by barometer and vertical angles, and no 

additional benchmarks were established by work done at that time 

for topographic mapping.

In August 1922, to meet the needs of the State and Federal Governments for an accurate system of reference elevations above mean sea 

level throughout the State, the Director of the United States Geological Survey and the highway commissioner of the State of Connecticut entered into an agreement for a cooperative level-control survey 

of the State. The first paragraph of the agreement reads as follows:

The level-control surveys (including the establishment of permanent benchmarks) and the preparation of notes resulting therefrom shall be under the 

supervision of the Director of the United States Geological Survey, or his representative, who shall have complete charge of the surveys and determine the 

methods to be employed in the field to secure accuracy in establishing the permanent benchmarks based on mean sea level in accordance with United States 

Geological Survey regulations.

The agreement was made for the period beginning in August 1922 

and ending June 30, 1923.

It was understood at the beginning of this program that the 

United States Coast and Geodetic Survey contemplated the running 

of certain lines of first-order leveling across the State as part of its 

general net covering the United States. The plans for the leveling to 

be done by the United States Geological Survey were accordingly 

made to supplement the first-order net by a system of third-order, 

single-run lines, these to be run, however, with first-order equipment, 

prism levels, and invar-strip rods graduated to decimals of a yard. 

The regulations governing leveling by the United States Geological

Survey are given in a pamphlet entitled "Topographic instructions 

of the United States Geological Survey" (Bull. 788).

Concurrently with the leveling begun by the United States Geological Survey in Connecticut, the United States Coast and Geodetic 

Survey ran a first-order line in 1922 from Yonkers, N. Y., to Westerly, 

R. I., skirting the coast line. In 1923 first-order lines were run by the 

Coast and Geodetic Survey along routes from New Haven to Springfield, Mass.; New Britain to East Morris; and Hartford to Auburn, 

R. I. Additional first-order leveling in Connecticut was done by the 

Columbia University Summer School of Surveying along the following 

routes: In 1916, from Dover Plains, N. Y., to East Morris; in 1925-32, 

from Morris station, by way of Torrington, to Thomaston; in 1932 

from Camp Columbia to Bantam and from Morris station, by way 

of Mount Tom, to Bantam.

The main scheme of third-order leveling in Connecticut by the 

United States Geological Survey was completed, in accordance with 

instructions, in the summer of 1923. Some additional benchmarks, 

however, were set after that date in the northwestern part of the State, 

in control for Granville and Springfield quadrangles, upon lines of 

leveling which lie mostly in Massachusetts and which were run in 

cooperation with that State.

All the third-order leveling in Connecticut was done by parties, 

each made up of a levelman, two rodmen, arid a recorder, using prism 

levels and invar-strip yard rods. The notes were checked against 

gross errors by recording the color identifying the various yard intervals, and the computed sums of recorded three-thread readings in 

yards made upon the invar strips for backsights and foresights were 

 checked by direct readings to hundredths of a foot upon supplementary wooden scales on the backs of the rods. The intervals 

between the threads were used as measures of the lengths of sights.

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 1 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.

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

applied, as well as the orthometric corrections for convergence of 

level surfaces of different elevations toward the north.

i See Avers, H. G., Manual of first-order leveling: U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Special Pub. 140,1929.
INTRODUCTION 6

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 0.035-v'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 O.OSVlength of circuit in miles. This is equivalent to 

0.07iylength 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 surfaces toward the north, have been adjusted to remove accidental closure errors by the mathematical method 

known as least squares. The latest adjustment of this kind was 

made in 1929 by the Coast and Geodetic Survey and is known as the 

1929 general adjustment of first-order leveling. This adjustment 

included the first-order lines in Connecticut, 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 Connecticut 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 been thus 

brought into agreement with the best information available from the 

results of the fundamental first-order leveling.

Benchmarks. The standard benchmarks used by the United States 

Geological Survey in Connecticut in 1922-23 are circular tablets 3% 

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

an inch at the center to about one-fourth 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 tEe 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 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; the figures of 

elevation to the nearest foot are added later. The tablets often 

serve a dual purpose, but they are supposed to be stamped only by
4 SPIRIT LEVELING 'IN CONNECTICUT, 1922 TO 1935

the party setting them. The latest style of tablet, not yet used in 

Connecticut, omits the penalty phrase and substitutes the words 

"For information write the Director" and "Washington, D. C.", and 

adds the word "benchmark." The elevations stamped upon the 

tablets as determined in the field 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 will apply to the Director of the United 

States Geological Survey, Washington, D. C., for accurate figures of 

the elevations.

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

solid rocks or hi 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 frost line.

Supplementary benchmarks are of several types. One type consists of a copper nail IK 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 washers are stamped "USGS BM", and 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 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. The Director will then advise him as to the correct procedure to follow and, if he grants permission to remove or 

reset the mark, will send a suitable form, accompanied by a selfaddressed franked envelope, for use in reporting the action taken, 

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 was eliminated. This level is not the elevation

determined from the mean of the highest and the 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 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. 2

Index map. The accompanying index map of Connecticut (fig. 1) 

shows the relative position of the mapped quadrangle areas which 

make up the State. The benchmark descriptions in this bulletin 

are grouped according to these quadrangle areas. 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.

Personnel. The field work on most of the third-order lines of 

leveling run by the United States Geological Survey in Connecticut 

was done by a party in charge of R. M. Wilson, who acted as levelman. The names of the chiefs of other parties are given under the 

appropriate route titles. Approximate elevations to the nearest 

foot consistent with a preliminary adjustment of the level net made 

in 1923 by Air. Wilson were stamped upon the tablets by C. A. King 

in 1923. The office work incident to the latest adjustment of the 

lines, the assembling of the lists, and the reviewing of descriptions 

was done by E. W. Tibbott, computer, under the supervision of 

R. M. Wilson, chief of the section of computing, under the general 

directipn of J. G. Staack, chief topographic engineer.
