NEW YORK. 

Triangulation Stations.

During the season of 1900 four parties were engaged on 

tioii in New York under the general supervision of Mr. S. S. Gannett. 

In the central portion of the State a belt of triangulation was extended 

by Messrs. Griswold and McNair from Virgil-Warren eastward to 

Utsayautha-Otsego stations of the Gardiner State survey. In the 

southeastern portion of the State the work of the United States Coast 

and Geodetic Survey was extended northward by Mr. Oscar Jones 

from stations Bearfort, High Point, Hamburg, and High Torne, connecting with the work of Mr: McNair at stations Andes, Bramley, 

and Utsayantha.

During the summer months Mr. McNair was transferred to the 

Adirondack region, where he executed control for six 15' quadrangles
WILSON ET AL.] NEW YORK. 23

by triangulatiou based upon Blue-Vanderwhacker. Twelve stations 

were occupied and G points located by intersections. During September he ran a line of primary traverse from Ogdensburg light-house 

(located by the United States Lake Survey) to Churubusco and Owls 

Head (triangulation stations of the United States Geological Survey) 

with several spur lines, a total distance of 142 miles, furnishing control for five 15' quadrangles.

Mr. S. Tatum extended triangulation northward from Penn-Myer, 

occupying nine stations, and also occupied and located one station, 

Webb, from West and Morris, the total number of quadrangles controlled being four.

The net results of the season's work were the occupation of 70 tr.iangulation stations and the running of 142 miles of primary traverse, 

controlling 44 quadrangles in portions of the'counties of Orange, 

Sullivan, Ulster, Delaware, Otsego, Oneida, Madison, Chenango, 

Cortland, Broome, Herkimer, Essex, Hamilton, Franklin, Clinton, 

Lewis, and St. Lawrence. Meridian lines were established at Goshen, 

Delhi, Cooperstown, Utica, Hamilton, Norwich, Binghainton, and 

Malone.

Primary Traverse.

Seventy-seven geographic positions were determined in the Delaware-Maryland peninsula by primary traverse by George T. Hawkins, 

topographer, in April and May, 1900. The traverse starts at Hartly 

triangulation station of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey 

and follows the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad to 

Easton, thence along the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic Railroad to Berlin, thence northward along the former road to Lewes, 

Del., connecting with the light-house at Cape Henlopen, a triangulation station of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey.

, A line also runs along the NOAV York, Philadelphia and Norfolk 

Railroad from Salisbury to Crisfield, connecting with the light-house 

at the latter place located by the United States Coast and Geodetic 

Survey. A spur line runs along the Philadelphia, Wilmington and 

Baltimore Railroad southward from Berlin to Franklin City, Virginia.

Triangulation Stations.

The descriptions and. positions published 'herewith, resulting from 

the field work of 1899 and 1900, executed under the supervision of 

Mr. S. S. Gannett, topographer, in Franklin, Fulton, Bedford, Blair, 

Huntingdon, and Cambria counties, were established by Mr. Sledge 

Tatum, topographer, in 1899, and by Mr. A. H. Thompson, geographer, in-1900.

Stations in the southwestern portion of the State in Fayette, Greene, 

Washington, Westmorelaud, Allegheny, Beaver, Indiana, Armstrong, 

and Clarion counties, result from the Avork of Messrs. A. H. Thompson, geographer; S. S. Gannett, Sledge Tatum, topographers; D. H. 

Baldwin and W. R. Harper, assistant topographers, and E. L. McNair, 

field assistant. All positions are based upon Maryland Heights and 

Sugarloaf stations of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, 

and on "United States Standard Datum." Distances were checked 

by a base line, measured by'Mr. S. S. Gannett, on the main line of 

the Pennsylvania railroad passing through Hillside, Westmorland 

County, and check azimuths were observed at three primary stations, 

namely,. Krepp, Dawson, and Hillside North Base.

Triangulation for control of the Carlisle and Gettysburg sheets was 

extended westward from Round Top and Pulpit Rock of the United 

States Coast and Geodetic Survey .by Mr. S. S. Gannett in August and 

September, 1900.

Primary Traverse.

One hundred and ten geographic positions in northeastern Ohio 

were determined by primary traverse during October, November, and 

December, 1900, by Mr. E. L. McNair, and based upon three stations 

of the United States Lake Survey Claridon, Warrensville, and 

Grafton.

Circuits were completed as follows: I. Southward from Warrensville triangulation station to Hudson; thence to RaA^enna; thence by 

higlnvays northward to Claridon triangnlation station. II. Southward from Hudson, located by first traverse, to Akron; westward to 

Sterling; thence northward to Grafton triangulation station. III. 

Westward from Sterling to the eighty-second meridian; thence southward to Wooster, eastward to Canton; thence northward, closing on 

Akron. A spur line was run. from Wooster south west ward. 4 miles 

to Millbrook. IV. Southward from Ravenna to Bayard, thence westward to Canton. V. Eastward from Bayard to'Kensington triangulation station, which,was located through a series of triangles 270 

miles in axial length, based upon Maryland Heights, Sugar Loaf stations, and on United States standard datum of the Coast and Geodetic 

Survey.

The position of Kensington triangulation station, as computed 

through the traverse from the lake survey stations compared with 

that computed through the triangulation upon the United States standard datum, shows a discrepency of 23 feet in latitude and 15 feet in 

longitude, the latter giving a location north and west of the former. 

As this is a connection between two entirely different systems of triangnlation the discrepancy is very small and is partly attributable to 

station error and partly to errors in the traverse lines and triangulation. This error was distributed in the traverse line between Bayard 

and Kensington.

Primary Traverse.

A line of primary railroad traverse was run. by Mr. S. Tatuui, topographer, in 1900 from the Columbia State capitol (located by astronomic methods by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey) 

along the Southern Railway to Spartanburg, connecting with the 

dome of St. Johns College, located by triangulation from, the oblique 

arc of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. A circuit was

Starting from United States Coast and Geodetic Survey astronomic 

pier at Mount Lookout, Cincinnati, the line follows the Baltimore and 

Ohio Southwestern and Baltimore and Ohio railroads to Columbus, 

Ohio; thence along the Hocking Valley Railroad to Toledo, Ohio, 

where it was tied to St. Mary's 'Church spire (United States Lake Survey station) ; thence back to Columbus, following line of Toledo and 

Ojiio Central Railway, and connected with original line. Meridian 

lines were established at Bowling Green, Delaware, Findlay, Ken ton, 

Marysville, Upper Sandusky, and Washington Court-House.

KENTUCKY AND INDIANA. 

Primary Traverse.

Thirty-eight geographic positions in Kentucky and Indiana were 

determined from primary traverse by Mr. George T. Hawk ins, topographer, in 1900.

This traverse starts from the Coast and Geodetic Survey astronomic 

pier at Henderson, Ky., and follows line of the Louisville, Henderson 

and St. Louis Railroad to Hawesville, Ky., crossing the Ohio River 

by triangulatioii, thence along the Cannelton branch of Louisville, 

E vansville and St. Louis Railroad to Lincoln City, Ind., connecting 

there with point on traverse run in 1899.

A spur line follows the wagon road from Hawesville, Ky., to'southeru 

edge of Rockford quadrangle.

Primary Traverse.

In April and May, 1901, Mr. W. M. Beaman, topographer, ran a line 

of primary traverse southward from Bell Mountain triangulation 

station across the Fredericksburg and Boerne quadrangles, and connecting with the Boerne triangulation station, a linear distance of 61 

miles. Three hundred and seventy transit stations were occupied, 

from which the following 29 geographic positions were computed:

Secondary Triangulation Stations.

Iii. the fall of 1900 Mr. R. H. Chapman added two new stations 

Hospital and Columbia to the local scheme at Bntte, and. a new 

station was established at AValkerville within a few feet of the site 

of the former one.

From these and other stations, in eluding many "three-point" locations, numerous mines, shaft houses, tunnel mouths, and gallows 

frames, 100 points in all, were located in the vicinity of Bntte in order 

to give accurate control for underground-mine maps.

The positions given are from preliminary computations only, no 

figure or station adjustment having been made.
