SPIRIT LEVELING IN MAINE, 1899-1915.

R. B. MARSHALL, Chief Geographer.

INTRODUCTION.

Cooperation. The State of Maine contributed financially to this 

work during the years 1899 to 1915, inclusive, and was represented by 

Leslie A. Lee and C. S. Hichborn from 1899 to 1908, inclusive, by 

Nathaniel M. Jones in 1909, by F. C. Robinson and B. M. Fernald in 

1910, by F: W. Plaisted in 1911-12, by William T. Haines in 1913-14, 

and by Benjamin F. Cleaves in 1915.

Previous publication. The results of spirit leveling previously published in Bulletin 437, containing descriptions and elevations of bench 

marks established in Maine from 1899 to 1909, inclusive, and based 

on the 1903 adjustment, have been corrected to agree with the 1912 

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 1909. The elevations are 

likely to be changed but slightly by any future adjustment.

Personnel. The field work from 1899 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

5

lines. The allowable limit of error observed on the precise work 

already done by the Geological Survey in this State is represented in 

feet by 0.017-/D and that for the primary work by 0.05-\/T), 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), 

31 niches 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, 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, which is set about 3 feet in the ground. 

The bottom is spread out to a width of 10 inches in order to give a 

firm bearing on the earth, and a bronze or aluminum-bronze cap is 

riveted over 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 £ 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 

(Q, 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 -^g-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 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. 

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
INTRODUCTION.

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 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 Maine, have been published by the United States Geological 

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

noted, at 10 cents each or $3 for 50 on application to the Director of 

the Survey, at Washington, D. C.

PRECISE LEVELING.

Bath, Freeport, Gray, Kezar Falls, Portland, and Sebago quadrangles. 

CUMBERLAND AND YORK COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list are the result of two lines of 

precise levels run in 1906: One line from Portland, northeast along 

the Maine Central Railroad, to Brunswick (where it joins the doublerodded primary line of the water-resources branch from Augusta), 

and thence up the Androscoggin River; the other line from Portland, 

northwest along the Maine Central Railroad, to Cornish, and thence 

west along highways through the southern part of Kezar Falls 

quadrangle to the New Hampshire State line. Both lines are based 

on a bench mark established by the United States Engineer Corps in 

1901 from previous marks set by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, now 

destroyed, the heights of which were determined from tidal records 

made in 1852-53 and in 1864-1866. The bench mark is the bottom 

of a half-inch drill hole one-eighth inch deep on the upper surface of 

the water table between the columns at the right of the .Commercial 

Street entrance to the customhouse building. Its elevation is 14.069 

feet above mean sea level, and the mean range of tide at Portland as 

corrected in 1896 is 8.824 feet. The methods, instrument, and limit 

of error were practically those now used by the Coast and Geodetic 

Survey, except that the rods were 3.5 yards long,.graduated to yards 

and hundredths with incased thermometers.

KENNEBEC, SOMERSET, AND PISCATAQUIS COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list are based on tidal records of 

the Coast and Geodetic Survey at Portland. The work-was previously based on Augusta datum from tidal records of the Coast 

and Geodetic Survey at Hallowell; but the results of a doublerodded line run in 1905 by the water-resources branch of the United 

States Geological Survey from Augusta to Brunswick, checking upon 

the Coast and Geodetic Survey gage bench marks at Abagadassett 

Point and Pleasant Point with a connection also at Moosehead from 

Penobscot River levels, showed considerable error. A line of precise 

levels was therefore run from Portland (where a more reliable sealevel value could be obtained) to Brunswick, from which was derived 

a correction of 2.651 feet to be added to the original unpublished 

values of the water-resources branch and 2.593 to be added to the 

original unpublished elevations of the bench marks on Augusta 

datum from Augusta to Moosehead. The closures upon Coast and 

Geodetic Survey gage bench marks by the water-resources branch 

line corrected to Portland datum are as follows: At Point Pleasant, 

+ 1.11 feet; at Abagadassett Point, +0.41 feet; at Hallowell bench 

mark 2, +2.651 feet; at Augusta, +4.608 feet. 

A small discrepancy with levels brought by the topographic branch 

from Bangor up the Penobscot River, in 1904, to Norcross and thence 

by wye and water levels in the four succeeding years by the waterresources branch to Moosehead, has been adjusted to the leveling of 

the water-resources branch.

The leveling was done in 1903 and 1904 by F. J. McMaugh. Leveling in Kingsbury quadrangle and additional leveling in Anson and 

Skowhegan quadrangles was done in 1912 by K. E. Schlachter.

PENOBSCOT COUNTY.

The elevations along Penobscot River in the following list are 

based on an aluminum tablet in the post-office and customhouse 

building at Bangor, stamped "23 Bangor 1899." The elevation of this 

bench mark is accepted as 23.725 feet above meansea level. A doublerodded line was run, beginning at a bench mark at Oldtown, reported 

in another list (p. 38). From Millinocket water and spirit levels 

were extended by the Great Northern Paper Co., and the waterresources branch of the United States Geological Survey at Moosehead, where a junction was made with the Kennebec levels. The 

extended elevations were found to be in such close agreement with 

the Kennebec levels, as corrected in 1906 to reliable mean sea-level 

datum at Portland, that no adjustment has been made in determining 

the elevations of this list.

The leveling was done in 1904 by F. J. McMaugh.

1 An adjustment of nearly 2 feet is made in line between here and East Holden.

WASHINGTON COUNTY.

The elevations published in the following list are based on a 

bronze tablet at Millbridge, one-third mile southeast of post office, 

in brown rock ledge on shore of harbor and 70 feet south of Sawyer's 

sardine wharf, stamped "7 B 1901," the elevation of which is 7.247 

feet above mean sea level, as determined by connection with tide 

gage at Millbridge upon which high and low water readings were 

made daily during a period of one lunar month in July and August, 

1901. The standard bench marks depending on this datum are 

referred through sea-level connections to the central datum at Bangor 

and are stamped with the letter "B" in addition to the figures of 

elevation and year. The leveling was done in 1901 by A. S. Havens,

ANDROSCOGGIN, CUMBERLAND, FRANKLIN, KENNEBEC, OXFORD, AND SAGADAHOC

COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list of bench marks established by 

the water-resources branch of the United States Geological Survey 

under the general direction of H. K. Barrows, district engineer, were 

determined by a double-rodded primary-level line extended from 

Augusta along the Maine Central Railroad to Brunswick; thence up 

Androscoggin River along railroad and highways to Errol, N. H. 

The New Hampshire elevations are not included in this list. The 

leveling was begun at a gage bench mark at Hallo well, Me., the stated 

elevation of which later proved to be unreliable. The elevations
PRIMAEY LEVELING. 47

now given are based on mean sea level determined by gage record at 

Portland, and accord with elevations determined by precise leveling 

of the topographic branch of the Geological Survey, from Portland 

to Brunswick, as given in another list (p. 9). At Turner Bridge, 

39.7 miles from Brunswick, a 1-foot error was discovered by certain 

checked relevelings, and the remainder of the line was corrected by 

that amount; but there yet remains an outstanding discrepancy of 

2.3 feet between this line and levels of the topographic branch at 

Bethel.

In running the base levels of 1905, from Hallowell via Brunswick 

to Livermore Falls, H. S. Boardman was chief of party. In running 

the base levels of 1906, from Livermore Falls to Errol, N. H., C. 

Kobert Adams and T. W. Norcross were chiefs of party.

PENOBSCOT, PISCATAQUIS, AND SOMERSET COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list of bench marks established by 

the water-resources branch of the United States Geological Survey, 

under the general direction of H. K. Barrows, district engineer, were 

determined from double-rodded primary-level lines run with a 20-inch 

Gurley wye level and two Philadelphia rods. These elevations result 

from a preliminary adjustment, under which the elevations at Medway and Moosehead, determined by the primary-level lines of the 

topographic branch extended from Bangor and Portland were 

accepted without correction. A new adjustment will not be made 

unless shown to be advisable when additional primary connections 

have been made between Penobscot and Kennebec rivers.

In running the base levels of 1905 from Chesuncook to Northeast 

Carry and from Moosehead west to Jackman, George M. Brett was 

chief of party. In running the base levels of 1906 on West Branch 

Penobscot River, from Chesuncook Lake southeast to Norcross, and 

the base levels of 1907 from Allagash Lake to Grand Lake dam 

H. S. Boardman was chief of party. In running the base levels of 

1908 from Grand Lake dam southeast down East Branch Penobscot River to Medway H. S. Boardman was chief of party and A. L. 

Grover was instrument man.
