RESULTS OF SPIRIT LEVELING IN PENNSYLVANIA FOR 

THE YEARS 1899 TO 1905, INCLUSIVE.

By S. S. GANNETT and D. H. BALDWIN.

INTRODUCTION.

t*. 

The readjustment in 1903 of the- precise-level net in the eastern portion of the United

States by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey necessitated a corresponding readjustment of all spirit-level heights of the United States Geological Survey dependent 

thereon. These results will be summarized by States or groups of States and published 

from time to time in bulletin form. f

All results cf leveling in Pennsylvania previously published in Appendixes to Reports of the 

Director of the United States Geological Survey and in Bulletin No. 185, as well as levels 

not previously published, have therefore been readjusted, rearranged by quadrangles, and 

collected herewith in one publication. Additional work done in 1902 on Sideling Hill quadrangle, Fulton County, will be reported on when the work in that quadrangle is completed. 

Descriptions and elevations of bench marks are given in forty-two counties, furnishing vertical control for one-fourth of the total area of the State.

The field work was done under the direction of Mr.-H. M. Wilson, geographer, and under 

the immediate supervision of Messrs. Frank Button and R. D. Cummin, chiefs of section, 

United States Geological Survey, in cooperation with the State of Pennsylvania, by various 

topographers and levelmen of the United States Geological Survey, to whom due credit is 

given under the different headings listed in the following pages. The office work of adjustment was principally done by Mr. D. H. Baldwin1, topographer, under the supervision of 

Mr. S. S. Gannett, geographer in charge of the triangulatio'n and computing section.

The elevations are arranged according to the degree of accuracy of their determination, 

precise and primary. The former are determined by lines of levels run either in both forward and backward directions or by simultaneous double-rodded lines, a high-grade 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 

in feet by 0.03\/D and that for the primary work by O.OSv D, in which D is the length of 

circuit in miles.

The bench marks described in the following list arc of two general forms. First, a circu- 

 lar bronze or aluminum tablet 3^ inches in diameter and one-fourth inch thick, appropriately lettered, having a 3-inch stem cemented into a drill hole, generally in the vertical 

walls of public buildings, bridge abutments, or other substantial masonry structures. 

The second form, employed where masonry or rock is not accessible, consists of a hollow 

wrought-iron post 4 feet in length'and 3$ inches in outer diameter, split at the bottom and 

expanded to 12 inches, so as to prevent both the easy subsidence of the post and its being 

maliciously pulled out of the ground. .The iron is heavily coated with asphalt, and over the 

top of the post is riveted a bronze tablet similar to that described above.

6 SPIRIT. LEVELING IN PENNSYLVANIA, 1899 TO 1905.

The numbers stamped upon the bench marks as described in the following lists represent 

the elevations to the nearest foot above mean sea level, as determined by unadjusted levels 

in the field. They have been subjected to changes resulting from the adjustments necessary to close circuits and to those resulting from reduction to mean sea level through readjustment of -the precise-level net of the United States. In some cases the finally accepted 

elevations as printed herein differ from those submitted as bench-mark numbers by 1 or 2 

feet. This method of numbering bench marks has been adopted where many levelmen are 

working in the same aVea at the same time, as less liable to lead to confsuion in identification of bench marks than any attempt at serial numbering, and because the bench-mark 

number at the same time gives an approximate statement of the elevation. It is assumed 

. that engineers and others finding these bench marks so stamped in the field will communicate 

with the Director of the United State's Geological Survey in order to obtain the accepted 

elevation to hundredths or thousandths of a foot:

Any person finding bench marks in the following lists mutilated or destroyed will confer 

a favor by notifying the Director, United States Geological Survey, Washington, D. C.

PIKE AND SUSQUEHANNA COUNTIES.

GREAT BEND, LACKAWAXEN, AND 1VARROWSBURU qUADRANGLES.

The elevations in the following list are the result of a line of precise levels run from 

Binghaniton to Poughkeepsie. The two sections of this line, Binghamton to Hancock, arid 

Hancock to Poughkeepsie, form two links in the net of precise leveling in the United States 

49 and 138 miles in length, respectively. The elevations here reported are the result of the 

1903 adjustment, the effect of which upon the original results by this line lias been to increase the elevation at Hancock with respect to Binghamton 0.042 foot and increase the 

elevation at Poughkeepsie with respect to Hancock 0.423 foot.

The New.York portion of this line is published in the bulletin of spirit leveling for the 

State of New York (Bull. 281, U. S. Geol. Survey).' The leveling .was done during June, 

July, and August, 1900, by Mr. C. H. Semper, levelman. The standard bench marks are 

stamped "ALBANY" in addition to the figures of elevation.

OILLKTT, (JKOYKIt, RALSTON, TROUT HUN, AND WILMAMSI'OIti: OJJAIHUNIJIVES.

The elevations in the following list are the Pennsylvania portion of the line of precise leveling run south from Elmira, N. Y., a point on the precise-level line of 1898, and connected 

at Williamsport, Pa., to a circuit of Pennsylvania Railroad levels from Harrisburg. The 

latter point is on"the Coast and Geodetic Survey transcontinental precise line. This line, 

75 miles in length, was involved as a factor.in the 1903 adjustment of the precise-level net, 

the result of which was to lower the elevation by the original line only 0.004 foot at Williamsport with respect to Elmira.

The usual method of leveling and party outfit was used. The leveling was done in 1899 

by Mr. C. H. Semper, levelman in charge. The standard bench marks on this line are 

stamped with the letters "HARRISBURG" in addition to figures of elevation and the 

year 1S99. Tl".3 elevations stamped are mostly 1 foot too low, due to an error of about 0.7 

foot in the originally accepted elevation at Elmira, and thus do not strictly accord with the 

reference mark at Harrisburg, an aluminum tablet stamped "364 HARRISBURG 1899," 

in the State Library, the elevation of which is accepted as 363.9SS feet.above mean sea level.

The elevations in the following list are the Pennsylvania portion of the result of two independent lines of precise leveling run in opposite directions between Salamanca, N. Y., and 

Irvineton, Pa. A large probable error occasioned the second running, with a result, however, checking to 0.043 foot the original figures. The final mean results of this line were 

included as a factor in the. 1903 adjustment of the precise-level net. The result of this was 

to increase the elevation at Irvineton, Pa., by this line 0.128 foot with respect to .Salamanca; 

therefore, there has been distributed a correction of 0.128 foot in a total distance of 4S.S 

miles in amounts proportional to the mileage. Both lines were run by the same methods 

and similar party outfits as in previous work, each being a double-rodded, simultaneous, 

direct and reverse read line, employing special 10-foot double-faced targeted rods. The 

total divergence in the 1902 line was but 0.0.1.1 foot and the total correction 0.085 foot.

The leveling of 1899 was done by Mr. E. L. McNair, topographer, and that of 1902 by Mr. 

D. H. Baldwin, topographer. The standard bench marks are referred to the Dunkirk 

datum and stamped with the letters "DUNKIRK" in addition to the figures of elevation 

and year 1899.

The elevations in the following list are tho result of a lino of precise levels run from 

Irvineton to Franklin. The latest adjustment of the precise-level net in which this line 

was a factor has resulted in raising the original values of tho line 0.083 foot at Franklin 

with respect to Irvineton, distributing this amount over the total distance of 57.9 miles.

The method of leveling and party outfit was similar to that previously used. The leveling was done in 1899 by E. L. McNair, topographer. The standard bench marks are 

referred to the Dunkirk, N. Y., datum and are stamped with the letters "DUNKIRK" in 

addition to figures of elevation which are mostly 1 foot low.

The elevations in the following list result from a line of precise levels extending from 

Erie to Pittsburg, Pa. The initial bench mark is an aluminum tablet stamped "635 ERIE " 

in the water table of the northwest corner of the hospital wing of the Soldiers' Home, Erie, 

the elevation of which was previously determined by primary levels to be 58.588 feet above 

a bench mark of the army engineers, described as a "chisel mark," at southwest corner of 

foundation of the light-house keeper's dwelling. The line extends south over the Pennsylvania Railroad to Leboeuf, thence over the Erie Railroad to Franklin and from Franklin to 

Pittsburg over the Allegheny.Valley branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Tliis line was 

included in the 1903 adjustment of the precise-level net, and as a result of that adjustment 

the elevations of the original line with respect to Erie have been lowered 0.204 foot at 

Leboeuf, 0.499 foot at Franklin, 0.862 foot at West Penn Junction (Lucesco post-office), 

and Pittsburg. The corresponding distances from Erie are, respectively, 22.4,76.3,169.7, 

and 198.7 miles. Between West Penn Junction-and Pittsburg no error was distributed, 

because of a satisfactory check by Pennsylvania Railroad levels and to simplify the adjustment. The leveling was done in 1899 by Mr. C. H. Semper, levelman, except the portion 

Franklin to Emlenton, which was done by Mr. E. L. McNair, topographer. Standard bench 

marks are stamped "PITTSBURG" in addition to the figures of elevation and the year 

1899. - '

The elevations in the following list result from the Pennsylvania portion of a line of precise levels run between Pittsburg, Pa., and Grafton, W. Va. The line as ran.started from 

bench mark "M" at Grafton, W. Va., on the transcontinental precise-level line of the Coast 

and Geodetic Survey, a chisel mark on the coping stone at north end of central pier of 

railroad bridge over Tygart River, and followed the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to Leith, 

near Uniontown, Pa., thence over the Pennsylvania "Railroad to Pittsburg. This line was 

included in the 1903 adjustment of the precise-level net, and as a result of that adjustment 

the elevation hy the original line at Braddock with respect to Grafton has been lowered 

0.112 foot in a distance of 142.5 miles. Between Braddock and Pittsburg no error was distributed because of a satisfactory check by Pennsylvania Railroad levels and to simplify adjustment. The leveling was done in 1899 by Mr. E. L. McNair, topographer. Standard 

bench marks are stamped " PITTSBURG" in addition to the figures of elevation and of 

the year 1899.

ERIE AND WARREN COUNTIES.

UOUltY, UNION UITV, AM) YOUNUSVlMiK (JUAOHAMJLKS.

The elevations in the'following list are the result of a line of precise levels run from 

Leboeuf to Irvineton. This line formed a factor in the 1003 adjustment of the preciselevel net, the result of which was to lower the elevation by the unadjusted line 0.146 foot at 

Irvineton with respect to Leboeuf. ' This amount has therefore been distributed in this line 

proportional to the distance. The total divergence between the simultaneous, direct and 

reverse-lines is 0.021 foot in a total distance of 38.7 miles.

The method of leveling and party outfit was similar to that previously used. The leveling was done in 1902 by Mr. D. H. Baldwin, topographer in charge. The standard bench 

marks are referred to an aluminum tablet at Pittsburg at the entrance to the Seventh 

Avenue Hotel, stamped "738 PTTTSBURG 1899," the elevation of which is accepted as 

738.383 feet above mean sea level. They are stamped with the legend "PITTSBURG 

1902" in addition to the figures of elevation. .

Mr. George Seidel, levelman. Mr. Seidel also did the leveling on the Johnstown quadrangle 

in 1902. The work on the Bedford and Ebensburg quadrangles was done in 1901 under the 

direction of Mr. A. M. Walker, topographer, by Mr. J. B. McGuire, levelman. The Patton 

quadrangle was partly leveled in 1901 by Mr. F. M. Taylor, levelman, under the direction of 

Mr. A. M. Walker, topographer, the work being completed in 1902 by Mr. Charles Hartman, 

jr., levelman, under the direction of Mr. Frank Sutton, topographer. All standard bench

KITTANNINU AND UUKAL VALLEY QIIADIUNULKS.

The elevations in the following list are based upon bench marks at Kittanriing, Rimerton, 

and East Brady, on the precise-level line from Erie to Pittsburg, and are determined in 

accord with the latest adjustment of the precise-level net. For additional elevations on 

these quadrangles refer to said precise line.

The leveling on the Rural Valley quadrangle, republished from Bulletin No. 185, was 

done in 1900 under the direction of Mr. Frank Sutton, topographer, by Mr. J. H. Wetzel, 

levelman, and that on the Kittanning quadrangle was mostly done in the same year under 

the direction of Mr. W. L. Miller, topographer, by Mr. Ira M. Flocker, levelman. The elevations between Climax and Redbank on these quadrangles were determined in 1905 

under the direction of Mr. W. T. Griswold, topographer, by Mr. B. J. Green, levelman. 

The standard bench marks are stamped with the letters "PITTSBURG" in addition to the 

figures of elevation, except those set in 1905, which are stamped "ADJ 1903" in addition 

to the figures of elevation.

KANULES.

The elevations in the following list are based upon an aluniinum tablet in the foundation 

of the Seventh Avenue Hotel, Pittsburg, the elevation of which is now accepted as 738.384 

feet above mean sea level. The initial points upon which this work depends are various 

bench marks on the precise-level line, Grafton to Pittsburg, of the United States Geological 

Survey, and the Connellsville and Pittsburg division precise level-line of the Baltimore 

and Ohio Railroad. For additional elevations in these quadrangles refer to list under 

"Precise leveling." The leveling was previously reported upon partly in the Appendix to 

the Twenty-first Annual Report and partly in Bulletin No. 185, but has been corrected in 

this list to accord with the 1903 adjustment.

The leveling on the Uniontown quadrangle, on the west side of the Confluence quadrangle, 

and on line to Greensboro on the Masontown quadrangle, was done in 1899, under the direction of Mr. Frank Sutton, topographer, by Mr. William Crennell, levelman. The leveling on 

the Connellsville quadrangle, on line West Newton to Baird on the Brownsville quadrangle, 

was done the same year, under Mr. Sutton, by Mr. J. H. Wetzel, levelman, who com-

pleted leveling on the Masontown quadrangle in 1900. The line through Centerville on 

the Brownsville quadrangle was run in 1901, under the direction of Mr. A. H. Bunistead, 

topographer, by Mr. M. P. Page, leveknan. The standard bench marks depending on this 

datum are stamped "PITTSBUEG" in addition to the figures of elevation.

QUADRANGLES.

The elevations in the following list are based upon an aluminum tablet in the foundation 

of the Seventh Avenue Hotel, Pittsburg, the elevation of which is now accepted as 738.384 

feet above mean sea level. Precise-level lines of the Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army, of 

the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and of the United States 

Geological Survey traverse this area. These, corrected in accordance with the latest 

adjustment, form the initial control for the primary levelings. For other elevations in this 

locality refer to list under "Precise leveling."

The leveling was done mostly in 1903 under the direction of Mr. Frank Sutton, topographer, by C. W. Marvin, levelman, on Greensburg and part of Freeport quadrangles, and 

the remainder by Mr. J. H. Wetzel, levelman. Five of the bench marks on Sewickley 

quadrangle were established in 1905 under Mr. A. C. Roberts, topographer, by Mr. B. J. 

Green, levelman. The standard bench marks are stamped with the letters "PITTS" in 

addition to the figures of elevation.

The elevations in the following list are "based upon an aluminum tablet in the foundation 

of the Seventh Avenue Hotel, Pittsburg, the elevation of which is now accepted as 738.384 

feet above mean sea level. . The .initial points upon which this work depends are various 

bench marks of precise-level lines run by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the 

Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army. The elevations.accepted for these are the result of the 

latest adjustment.

The leveling was done in 1901 under the direction of Mr. Frank Button, topographer, by 

Mr. Ira M. Flocker, levelman, except that at Freedom, which was done in 1905 under Mr. 

A. C. Roberts, topographer, by Mr. B. J. Green, levelman. The standard bench marks 

are stamped with the letters "PITTSBURG" in addition to the figures of elevation.

The elevations in the following list are based upon an aluminum tablet in the foundation of 

the Seventh Avenue Hotel, Pittsburg, stamped "738 PITTSBURG 1899," the elevation 

of which is now accepted as 738.384 feet above mean sea level. They agree in datum with 

the latest adjustment of precise leveling.

The leveling was done as follows: On the Waynesburg quadrangle, in 1900, under the 

direction of Mr. Frank Sutton, topographer, by Mr. J. H. Wetzel, levelman; on the Blacksville quadrangle, in 1901, under Mr. A. H. Bumstead, topographer, by Mr. M. P. Page, levelman; on the Rogersville quadrangle, mostly in 1902, under Mr. R. D. Cummin, topographer, 

by Mr. Charles Hartman, jr., levelman; and on the Amity quadrangle, partly in 1901, under 

Mr. A. H. Bumstead, topographer, by Messrs. M. P. Page and H. Wood, levelmen; partly

assistant topographer, by Mr. Green. The standard bench marks, except that at Mount
