INTRODUCTION.

Previous publication L\\ results of spirit leveling in Arkansas

published by the United States Geological Survey in Bulletin 458 

and all the results of later work are included in this report. Elevations are based on heights of bench marks along precise-level lines of 

the Coast and Geodetic Survey and of the Corps of Engineers, 

United States Army, as adjusted in 1912 by the Coast and Geodetic 

Survey, and are likely to be changed but slightly by any future 

adjustment.

Personnel. The field work before 1903 was done under the general 

direction of J. H. Eenshawe, geographer; that for 1903 to 1906, inclusive, under H. M. Wilson, geographer; and the later work under 

W. H. Herron, geographer, and since 1908 under the general supervision of R. B. Marshall, chief geographer. The names of the various levelmen are given in the introductions to the several lists. The 

office work of computation, adjustment, and preparation of lists was 

clone mainly by S. S. Gannett, geographer, under the general direction- of E. M. Douglas, geographer.

Classification. No precise leveling has been done by the United 

States Geological Survey in Arkansas. For primary lines standard 

Y levels are used; lines are run in circuits or are close on precise 

lines, with an allowable closing error in feet represented by 0.05 

VD5 in which B is the length of the circuit in miles, sufficient care 

being given to the work to maintain this standard. For levels of 

this class careful office adjustments are made, the circuit errors Being 

distributed over the lines.

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

first form is a circular bronze or aluminum tablet (C and E, PL I), 

3^ inches in diameter and one-quarter 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, PL I), used where masonry or rock 

is not available, consists of a hollow wrought-iron post 3£ inches in

5

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 over 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 Z>, PL I) is used for unimportant points. This consists of a special copper nail 1^ inches in 

length driven through a copper washer seven-eighths 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 (£, PL I).

The numbers 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 T3^-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 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 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 the 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. 

Medn 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

accuracv 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 

level as determined from observations in the Atlantic Ocean, the 

Gulf of Mexico, or 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 preciselevel lines of the United States Geological Survey, the United States

PRIMARY LEVELING.

Eureka Springs, Fayetteville, Harrison, Siloam Springs, and Winslow quadrangles.

BENTON, BOONE, CABBOLL, CBAWFOBD, MADISON, NEWTON, AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list were determined by primary 

leveling extended from the precise-level line of the Coast and Geodetic Survey along the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad, which 

crosses the Fayetteville, Eureka Springs, and Winslow quadrangles.

The leveling was done in the Eureka Springs quadrangle in L900 

by J. A. Boyd, G. E. Diehl, J. E. Smith, and C. C. Curry, and in 1902 

by Boyd and D. V. Vandiver; in the Fayetteville and Siloam Springs 

quadrangles in 1899 by Clifford Older; in the Harrison quadrangle 

in 1902 by Vandiver; and in the Winslow quadrangle in 1898 by 

Robert Coe.

Arkadelphia, Benton, Caddo Gap, Camden, Dalark, Gurdon, Hope, Hot Springs 

special, Little Eock, Lucky, and Malvern quadrangles.

(JALHOUN, CLARK, DALLAS, GARLAND, HEMPSTEAD, HOT SPRINGS, HOWARD, MONTtiOMEKY, 

NEVADA, OUACJUTA, PIKE, POLK, PULASKI, AND SALINE COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list were determined by primary 

leveling extended from Little Rock. A double-rodded line of levels 

was run in 1896 from Little Rock along the St. Louis, Iron Mountain 

& Southern Railway to Hot Springs and continued in 1899 along 

the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway and the St. Louis, Iron 

Mountain & Southern Railway to Gurdon, connecting in 1900 with 

Camden by primary circuits. At Little Rock and Camden the work 

is adjusted to elevations of bench marks of the United States Army 

engineers' precise-level line. No intermediate connections were 

made.

The leveling from Little Rock to Hot Springs and in the Hot 

Springs special quadrangle was done in 1896 by H. L. Muldrow, and 

that along the railroads to Gurdon, Hope, and Buena Vista by 

Robert Coe in 1899-1900. The remaining work in the Gurdon quadrangle was done in 1899-1900 by D. C. Wray, and in the Camden 

quadrangle in 1900 by Guy E. Diehl. The leveling in the Caddo Gap 

quadrangle was partly done in 1901 by E. L. Shepard and J. A. 

Boyd, and was completed by 1902-3 by C. H. Birdseye. The leveling for the Hot Springs special and the Gurdon quadrangles has been 

copied with corrections from the Eighteenth and Twenty-first Annual Reports of the'United States Geological Survey, respectively.
