SPIRIT LEVELING IN NORTH CAROLINA, 1896 TO 

1914, INCLUSIVE.

R. B. MARSHALL, Chief Geographer.

INTRODUCTION.

Cooperation. The State of North Carolina contributed financially 

to the work in 1896 and from 1902 to 1910, inclusive.

Previous publication. Tha£ portion of the results of spirit leveling in North Carolina previously published in Bulletin 441, containing descriptions and elevations of bench marks established from 

1896 to 1909, inclusive, and based on the 1903 adjustment, has 

been corrected to agree with the 1912 adjustment of precise leveling 

of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, and is here republished, together with the results of spirit leveling by the United States 

Geological Survey in North Carolina since 1909.

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

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

to 1914, 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 headings of 

the several lists to the respective 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 

already done by the Geological Survey in this State is represented

5

in feet by 0.03 .^D and that for the primary work by 0.05 

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 1 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 structure. 

The second form (F, PI. 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. It is split at the bottom and spread out 

to a width of 10 inches in order to give a firm, bearing on the earth, 

and is set about 3 feet in the ground. A bronze or aluminum-bronze 

cap is riveted upon the top of the post. 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, PL I).

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

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

The office adjustment of the notes and the reduction to mean sea 

level 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 Washmgton, D. C., for the adjusted values, and will use the markings as 

identification numbers only.

Datum. Ml 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 half-tide level and the mean sea level usually differ
INTRODUCTION.

but little. It is assumed 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 North Carolina have been published by the United States 

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

10 cents each or $3 for 50, except as otherwise noted, on application

GUILFORD, IREDELL, JOHNSTON, JONES, LENOIR, McDOWELL, MADISON, ORANGE, 

ROWAN, WAKE, AND WAYNE COUNTIES.

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

line of precise leveling begun in 1896 at Morehead City, N. C., 

and carried westward along the Norfolk Southern and the Southern 

railroads to Knoxville and Cleveland, Tenn., and to Brunswick, Ga. 

At Morehead City tide-gage readings were made during six lunar 

months in 1898 through the courtesy of the Superintendent of the 

Coast and Geodetic Survey. At Brunswick, Ga., tide-gage readings 

were made at St. Simons light at various times between 1854 and 1898 

by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, and the elevations of several 

bench marks at Brunswick were determined from them through 

precise leveling by the Corps of Engineers, United States Army.

In 1899 E. L. McNair connected this line with the tide gage at 

Morehead City and with four tidal bench marks at Brunswick, Ga., 

one of which was discarded, and the mean closure error of this 

circuit of 1,043.2 miles at Brunswick was -1.057 feet. Cleveland 

and Knoxville are junction points with other links of the preciselevel net, and the adjustment made by the Coast and Geodetic Survey in 1912 corrects the original results with respect to Morehead 

City as follows: Paint Rock, N. C., -0.351; Knoxville, Tenn., 

-0.452; Cleveland, Tenn., -0.189; Cahutta, Ga., -0.145; and 

Brunswick, Ga. ; +1.057. No adjustment was put between Morehead 

City and Selma because of the small divergence and flat country.

That portion of the entire line included in North Carolina was run 

in cooperation with the State and with certain railroads of the State, 

and the route was selected so as to cross every line of railway in the 

State.

The instruments employed on the section from Morehead City to 

Paint Rock were a high-grade Buff & Berger spirit level and two Gurley 

single-faced nonextensible rods 10 feet in length, made from selected 

white pine soaked in boiling paraffin. Rapid setting of the targets 

was accomplished by use of a steel tape passing over drums at each 

end of the rods. Two rodmen were employed setting on separate 

steel turning-point pins. The instrument was at all times protected 

from the wind and sun; fore and back sights were of equal length; 

no sights of over 300 feet were permitted except when unavoidable. 

One division of level vial used equaled about 8 seconds of arc. 'Four 

steel turning pins, two for each rodman, were so used that those
PRECISE LEVELING. 9

employed for backsights were not removed until the foresight pegs 

had been used. The limit of total divergence in feet was fixed at 

0.42 -^/distance from Morehead City in miles. The backsights were 

read first on one set of pins and last on the other set. The leveling 

in this State on this line was done in 1896 and 1897 by W. Carvel 

Hall.

DURHAM AND GRANVILLE COUNTIES.

The following is the North Carolina portion of the results of a spur 

of precise levels run in 1905 from Durham, N. C., north along the 

Southern Railway to Clarksville, Va. (See Bulletin 562.)

The method and limit of error were those now adopted by the 

Coast and Geodetic Survey in precise-level work. The line was 

leveled independently in both the forward and backward directions, 

broken by temporary bench marks into sections 2 to 3 kilometers 

long. On all sections upon which the backward and forward measures differed more than 4.0 millimeters JK (in which K is the distance 

in kilometers) leveled between adjacent bench marks both the forward and backward measures were repeated until they came within 

limits.

The instruments used were two self-reading rods, 3.2 meters in 

length graduated to centimeters and reading by estimation to millimeters; and a Coast and Geodetic Survey type precise level.

The party consisting of five persons was in charge of R. L. Libby, 

level man.
