SPIRIT LEVELING IN WEST VIRGINIA, 1896 TO 1915,

INCLUSIVE.

R. B. MARSHALL, Chief Geographer.

INTRODUCTION.

Cooperation. The State of West Virginia contributed financially to 

the work in this State from 1898 to 1915, inclusive.

Previous publication. The results of spirit leveling previously published in Bulletins 399 and 477, containing descriptions and elevations of bench marks established in West Virginia from 1896 to 1910, 

inclusive, and based on the 1903 adjustment, have been corrected to 

agree with the 1907 adjustment of precise leveling of the Coast and 

Geodetic Survey and are here republished, together with all results of 

spirit leveling by the United States Geological Survey since 1910. 

The elevations were not changed by the 1912 adjustment and are likely 

to be changed but slightly by any future adjustment.

Personnel. The field work from 1896 to 1906, inclusive, was done 

under the direction of H. M. Wilson, geographer, and that from 1907 

to 1915, inclusive, was done under Frank Sutton, geographer. -The 

work since January, 1908, was done under the general direction of 

R. B. Marshall, chief geographer. Credit is given in the heading of 

each list to the several levelmen. The office work of computation, 

adjustment, and preparation of lists was done mainly by S. S. Gannett, geographer, under the general direction of E. M. Douglas, 

geographer.

Classification. The elevations are classified as precise or primary, 

according to the methods employed in their determination. The 

former are determined by lines of levels run either in both forward and 

backward directions or by simultaneous double-rodded lines, a highgrade instrument being used and special precautions being taken in 

observations and reduction to correct errors and make the line continuously good throughout. The latter or primary levels are determined with the Y level, precautions being taken against only the 

principal errors and the levels being run mostly in circuits of single 

lines. The allowable limit of error observed on the precise work
6 SPIEIT LEVELING IN WEST VIRGINIA, 1896 TO 1915.

already done by the Geological Survey in this State is represented 

in feet by 0.02 -/D and that for the primary work by 0.05 JD, in which 

D is the length of circuit in miles.

Bench marks. The standard bench marks are of two forms. The 

first form is a circular bronze or aluminum tablet (0 and E, PI. I), 

3^ inches in diameter and £ inch thick, having a 3-inch stem, which 

is cemented in a drill hole in solid rock in the wall of some public 

building, a bridge abutment, or other substantial masonry structurec 

The second form (F, PL I), used where masonry or rock is not available, consists of a hollow wrought-iron post 3£ inches in outer diameter and 4 feet in length. The bottom is spread out to a width of 10 

inches in order to give a firm bearing on the earth. A bronze or 

aluminum-bronze cap is riveted upon the top of the post which is set 

about 3 feet in the ground. A third style of bench mark, with abbreviated lettering (B and D, PI. I), is used for unimportant points. 

This consists of a special copper nail 1| inches in length driven 

through a copper washer f- inch in diameter. The tablets as well as 

the caps on the iron posts are appropriately lettered, and cooperation by States is indicated by the addition of the State name (G, PI. I).

The numbers stamped on the bench marks described in the following pages represent the elevations to the nearest foot as determined by the levehnan. These numbers are stamped with -^-inch 

steel dies on the tablets or post caps, to the left of the word "Feet." 

The office adjustment of the notes and the reduction to mean sealevel datum may so change some of the figures that the original 

markings are 1 or 2 feet in error. It is assumed that engineers and 

others who have occasion to use the bench-mark elevations will 

apply to the Director of the United States Geological Survey, at 

Washington, D. C., for the adjusted values, and will use the markings as identification numbers only.

Datum. All elevations determined by the United States Geological 

Survey and United States Coast and Geodetic Survey are referred 

to mean sea level, which is the level that the sea would assume 

if the influence of winds and tides were 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 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 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 halftide level and the mean sea level usually differ but little. It is assumed
INTRODUCTION.

that there is no difference between the mean sea levels determined 

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

Pacific Ocean.

The connection with tidal stations for bench marks in certain 

areas that lie at some distance from the seacoast is still uncertain, 

and this fact is indicated by the addition of a letter or word to the 

right of the word "Datum" on tablets or posts. For such areas 

corrections for published results will be made from time to time as 

the precise-level lines of the United States Geological Survey, the 

United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, or other Government 

organizations are extended.

Topographic maps. Maps of the following quadrangles wholly or 

partly in West Virginia have been published by the United States 

Geological Survey up to July 1, 1916. They may be obtained

The elevations in the following list are a portion of the result of a 

line of precise levels run in 1899 from Grafton, W. Va., to Pittsburgh, 

Pa., by E. L. McNair. This line was included in the adjustment of 

the precise-level net made in 1907 by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, 

and elevations were not changed by the 1912 adjustment.

The double simultaneous method was employed with a Buff & 

Berger precise level and two double-faced 10-foot nonextensible target 

rods.

56 SPIRIT LEVELING IN WEST VIRGINIA, 1896 TO 1915.

Cowen, Lobelia, Bichwood, Summersville, Webster Springs, and Winona 15' 

quadrangles (Nicholas and Huntersville SO7 quadrangles).

CLAY, FAYETTE, GREENBRIER, AND WEBSTER COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list were determined by primary 

leveling and accord with the 1912 adjustment of precise leveling.

The list consists partly of old lines of 1898-99 formerly published 

in the appendix to the Twenty-first Annual Report of the Director 

and in Bulletin 399 with elevations readjusted on account of additional data and the releveling from Ivydale to Liberty Bowl Schoolhouse and from Summersville via Zela to Fowlers Knob.

The leveling was done in Winona quadrangle in 1898 by Hargraves 

Wood, in 1912 by L. F. Biggs, and in 1915 by H. S. Senseney; in 

Lobelia quadrangle in 1899 by Wood; in Richwood and Summersville 

quadrangles in 1898-99 by Wood and in 1915 by Senseney; in Cowen

Charleston Special, Madison, Peytona, and St. Albans quadrangles. 

BOONE, KANAWHA, LINCOLN, AND PUTNAM COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list are based upon corrected 

levels of the Great Kanawha River survey by the army engineers, 

checked by primary leveling from the Ohio River survey preciselevel line. The elevations now given are 3.855 feet greater than by 

the datum of the old Great Kanawha River levels.

Leveling was done in each quadrangle in 1896 and 1897 by Hargraves Wood; additional elevations were established in 1907 in the 

Charleston Special by R. A. Eager, and in 1908 in the Peytona and 

Madison quadrangles by E. S. Dawson.

The elevations stamped on the standard bench marks set in 1897 

and 1908 are mostly 1 foot too high, while the elevations stamped 

on those set in 1896 and 1907 are generally correct.

PRIMARY LEVELING. 131 

Antietam, Berryville, Gerrardstown, and Martinsburg quadrangles.

BERKELEY, JEFFERSON, AND MORGAN COUNTIES.

Elevations are based on bench marks of the Baltimore & Ohio 

precise-level line at Harpers Ferry, Kearneysville, and Martinsburg.

The leveling in Berryville and Martinsburg quadrangles was done 

by H. S. Senseney in 1914. The bench mark at Martinsburg Courthouse was set by E. I. Ireland. The leveling in Gerrardstown quadrangle and the north part of Martinsburg quadrangle was by K. W. 

Trimble in 1914, and in Antietam quadrangle in 1907 by W. K. 

Winstead.

For elevations in Antietam and Martinsburg quadrangles in Virginia and Maryland, see Bulletins 562 and 563.

The following descriptions and elevations are taken from reports of 

the Coast and Geodetic Survey and are here republished by permission 

of the Superintendent of that bureau. The bench marks were established by the Coast and Geodetic Survey and by the Baltimore & Ohio 

Railroad Co., and were included in the 1907 adjustment by the Coast 

and Geodetic Survey. The elevations were not changed by the 1912 

adjustment and are not likely to be changed by any future adjustment.

For convenient reference, as results in Bulletin 399 are based on the 

1903 adjustment, the elevations of bench marks established previous 

to 1903 are given by both the 1903 and 1907 adjustments.
