SPIRIT LEVELING IN TEXAS, 1896 TO 1915,

INTRODUCTION.

Cooperation, The State of Texas contributed financially to the 

work of 1902 and 1903 through the University of Texas Mineral Survey, in 1909 and 1910 through the State Reclamation. Service, A. A. 

Stiles, State reclamation engineer, and in 1915 Harris County contributed directly through W. H. Ward, county judge.

Previous publication. All results of spirit leveling in Texas previously published by the United States Geological Survey and all the 

results of later work are included in this report, rearranged by quadrangles. Elevations are based on heights of bench marks along preciselevel lines of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey as adjusted 

in 1912, and on the precise-level line of the United States Geological 

Survey from the Texas-New Mexico boundary line to El Paso. The 

elevations of certain bench marks in Brewster and Presidio counties 

are based on railroad datum, as noted in the several headings, and 

are, therefore, only approximate.

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

under E. M. Douglas, geographer, and the later work under E. C. 

Barnard and S. Tatum, geographers, under the general direction of 

E,. B. Marshall, chief geographer. The names of the various levelmen are given in the introductions to the lists. The office work of 

computation, adjustment, and preparation of lists was done mainly 

by S. S. Gannett, geographer, and D. H. Baldwin, topographer, and 

since 1907 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. For 

precise-level lines instruments and rods of the highest grade are used, 

each line is run both forward and backward, and every precaution is 

taken to guard against error. The allowable divergence between 

the forward and the backward lines in feet is represented by the formula O.OlVVir, in which D is the distance in miles between bench 

marks. For primary lines standard Y levels are used; lines are run 

in circuits or are closed on precise lines, with an allowable closing 

error in feet represented by 0.05-/D, in which D is the length of the

5

circuit in miles, sufficient care being given to the work to maintain 

this standard. For levels of both classes careful office adjustments 

are made, the small outstanding 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, PI. 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 

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. 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 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 (G, PI. 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 ^-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 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 

l>eing 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
INTRODUCTION.

the half-tide level and 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.

partly in Texas have been published by the United States Geological

BBEWSTER AND PRESIDIO COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list are approximate, as they 

are based on an aluminum tablet in the southeast corner stone 

of the county courthouse at Marfa, stamped "4695 Marfa," the 

elevation of which is accepted as 4,695.043 feet above mean sea 

level. This elevation was determined from Galveston, Harrisburg & San Antonio Railway levels, the height of the top of the 

rail in front of the station being accepted as 4,689 feet above mean 

sea level.

The leveling was done by M. S. Bright in 1901 and 1902, except for 

the greater portion in the Chisos Mountains quadrangle, which was 

done by Chester Irvine in 1902 and 1903 in cooperation with the 

University of Texas Mineral Survey.

All permanent bench marks, dependent on this datum are stamped 

with the letters "Marfa" in addition to the figures of elevation. 

By railroad data a correction of about 10 feet should be added to 

these elevations to bring them in accord with those at El Paso determined by precise leveling.

EL PASO COUNTY.

The elevations in the following list were determined by primary 

leveling extended from Fay, and were originally based on the elevation 

of the top of the rail in front of the station at Fay, accepted as 4,010 

feet. Several bench marks near Van Horn were redetermined by the 

U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey in 1911, and their elevations, found 

to be about 8 feet too low, have been corrected to agree with the 1912 

adjustment.

The leveling was done by Chester Irvine in 1903, and by Stuart T. 

Penick in 1905.

EL PASO COUNTY.

The elevations in the following list are based upon an elevation at 

El Paso determined by precise leveling and are derived through 

checked leveling on El Paso quadrangle by the United States Reclamation Service and the Geological Survey.

The leveling was done by M. S. Bright in 1901. It was originally 

based on an assumed railroad datum at San Elizario, and the stamped 

elevations are about 8 feet too low.

The elevations in the following list were determined from a twiceleveled primary line of the United States and Mexico Boundary Commission and accord with mean sea level. A correction of 1.423 feet 

has been added to values published in the boundary commission's
126 SPIRIT LEVELING IN TEXAS, 1896 TO 1915.

report entitled "Survey of the Rio Grande, Roma to the Gulf of 

Mexico," to accord with an elevation at Brownsville determined in 

1913 by the United States Geological Survey by a twice-leveled line 

from Coast and Geodetic Survey bench mark 1, at Point Isabel.

The positions given west of R. P. 28 were computed in 19]4 by the 

United States Geological Survey and are based upon Coast and 

Geodetic Survey position for R. P. 28, which is latitude 26° 04' 

13.17", longitude 97° 56' 43.16". The correction determined for 

values given in the boundary commission report after converting 

the same from latitudes and departures to latitudes and longitudes 

is +1.71 seconds in latitude and 1.82 seconds in longitude.
