INTRODUCTION

Scope of report. This bulletin, which for convenience la to be published In eight 

parts, contains the results of all spirit leveling done by the United States Geological Survey in Missouri, including those heretofore published. Each of the parts 

deals with one of eight sections into which the State has been divided for this purpose and which have been designated northeastern, northwestern, southeastern, southwestern, central, east-central, south-central, and west-central Missouri. 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 United States Geological Survey have not been Included.

Cooperation. The State has contributed financially to the work of leveling in Missouri since 1907* ordinarily cooperating with the United States Geological Survey on a 

dollar-for-dollar basis. The agencies concerned in this cooperation are the Mipsourl 

Geological Survey and Water Resources and, since 1929» the Missouri State Highway Commission. Since 193l)-> the Missouri Geological Survey and Water Resources, under allotments from the Federal Emergency Relief Administration and the Works Progress Administration, has also supplied the funds to pay the personnel working on extensive projects of leveling in the State. For these projects the United States Geological Survey 

has furnished equipment and supervision as its share of the cooperation.

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 consists of leveling done with the most improved instruments,

all sections being leveled twice, in opposite directions, under varying conditions. 

Closures aj-e not allowed to exceed the amount in feet represented by the formula 0.017 

times the square root of the length of section in miles.

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 times the square 

root of the 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 of 0.05 times the square root of the

length of circuit In miles. This Is equivalent to 0.0?1.times the square root of the

length of section In miles if the line la leveled twice.

All leveling done by the United States Geological Survey in Missouri Is of thirdorder accuracy except as otherwise stated.

Adjustments. A preliminary step to the adjustment of first, second, and third-order 

leveling Is the application of all corrections for rod error, temperature, and unbalanced sights, as well as the orthometric corrections required because of the convergence toward the poles of level surfaces of different elevations. 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 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 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 Missouri, and the elevations thus 

derived are the fundamental references for elevations determined by second- and thirdorder nets. The third-order leveling of the United States Geologies! Survey in Missouri 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.

Benchmarks. The benchmarks used by the United States Geological Survey (pi. 1) are 

of two general classes principal and supplementary. Principal benchmarks are placed 

at more or less regular intervals along a level line and are established with the aim 

of making them as nearly permanent as practicable. They are usually bronze or aluminum 

tablets, Iron posts, or copper bolts. Supplementary or auxiliary benchmarks are less 

formal In design and are placed between the principal benchmarks. Some of the supplementary benchmarks In common use are copper nails fitted with washers, spikes, and 

marks cut with a chisel on rock or masonry.

The tablets are circular In shape, measure 3-7/8 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 set and those now being placed are 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 benchmarks but also as trlangulatlon- or traverse-station marks.

PART 3, EAST-CENTRAL MISSOURI, 1896-1937 V

The Inscription on moat 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 to mark a transit-traverse station, the traverseman stamps it with 

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, 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. He may at 

the same time stamp upon It with steel dies the figures of elevation to the nearest 

foot, or. these figures may be added later. Tablets that serve as benchmarks may have 

been set as such or they may have been set to mark traverse stations. Thus some of 

them serve a dual purpose, but each has stamped upon it the date and the identifying 

designation of only the engineer who established it.

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 a bulletin such as this one, 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, TTnlted States Department 

of the Interior, Washington, D. C. ,

The tablets, of whatever style, are cemented Into holes drilled In solid rocks or in 

the walls of public buildings, bridge abutments, or other masonry structures. Where masonry or rock is not available, the tablets are set In the tops of reinforced concrete 

posts, 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 vary In length from 36 to lj.8 Inches and are generally set so as to project about 

6 Inches above ground.

Antedating the concrete posts which are nov; 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 of similar design to the tablets. These iron posts measure I), 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 subject to rust 

at the ground level, which eventually destroys them.

The third form of principal benchmark, set only in the early leveling, is a copper 

bolt, designed to be wedged into a drill hole In root, or masonry and perhaps further 

secured with lead or cement. This bolt measures !(. inches in length and 1 inch in diameter and has a slot at one end into which fits a brass wedge. The wedge serves to expand the bottom end of the bolt, so that after the bolt has been driven to almost its 

full length Into the hole, it cannot be easily removed. The exposed end of the bolt 

bears an appropriate inscription, stamped upon it with steel dies. This inscription is
VI SPIRIT LEVELING IN MISSOURI

made up of the letters "U S G S", the letters indicating the datum used, the abbreviated word "Ft.", and the figures of elevation.

Supplementary benchmarks are of many kinds. One kind consists of a copper nail 1& 

Inches long supplied with a copper washer seven-eighths of an inch In diameter, through 

which the nail Is driven into the root of a tree or some timber structure or cemented 

into rock after bending the point. The designation "U S G S B Mn is stamped on each 

washer, and on some washers the abbreviation of the name of the cooperating State is 

added. Another kind of supplementary benchmark 4s a chiseled square, used on the horizontal surface of rocks or masonry structures, or a chiseled cross, used on a vertical 

surface. Naila, track spikes, and small, capped Iron pipes also serve as supplementary 

benchmarks, and occasionally easily described and recognized points, such as doorsllls 

and tops of hydrants, are so used.

Preservation and restoration of benchmarks. Any person who finds that a principal 

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. 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 United States Geological Survey and those 

determined by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survefy 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 la 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 ocean stations the halftlde 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 of the area. East-central Missouri, 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 between 

latitudes 38°00' and 39 C 15' and east of longitude 92°00'. (See fig. 5.)

Index map. The accompanying index map of east-central Missouri (fig. 6) shows the 

relative position of the quadrangle arena which make up this section. A quadrangle is 

the unit of topographic survey adopted by the United States Geological Survey for dividing the area of the United States. All the quadrangles referred to in listing the 

results of leveling in east-central Missouri measure 15 minutes In latitude by 15 minutes 

in longitude. On the Index map the name of each quadrangle is .accompanied by the number

of the page on which begins the list of descriptions of benchmarks In that quadrangle. 

The 50-mlnute quadrangles formerly designated as Hermann, Hlllsboro, Louisiana, Sullivan, and 0'Fallen have recently been subdivided Into 15-mlnute quadrangles, whose 

names appear In parentheses In the respective quadrants of .the original quadrangles 

unless the new names have been used throughout the descriptions, In which case the 

old names are not given on the map. Possible topographic mapping on a larger scale 

In some of the quadrangle areas may make It necessary to use, for newer Y^-minute 

quadrangles, the names shown on this Index map for 15-mlnute quadrangles.

' Personnel. The leveling of the United States Geological Survey In east-central Missouri 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. Included in the heading that precedes the descriptions of benchmarks established along any line of leveling are the name of the levelman who ran that line and the date when it was run, or, if this information has been 

omitted, It may be assumed that the levelman and date are the same as those indicated 

for the line immediately preceding. The adjustment of the third-order level net was 

done in the Washington office mainly by V. S. Benfell, computer. The revision, correlation, and compilation of the descriptions of benchmarks was done In the field office at Rolla, Mo., by employees of the Works Progress Administration of Missouri, who 

also assembled the lists and made new typewritten copies of them suitable for reproduction by photography. The work at Rolla was sponsored by the Missouri Geological 

Survey and Water Resources and was in charge of W. R. Broaddus, of the United States 

Geological Survey. The work in the Washington office was under the supervision of 

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

Staack, chief topographic engineer.
