INTRODUCTION.

Previous publication. All results of spirit leveling in New Mexico 

from 1902 to 1909, inclusive, published by the United States Geological Survey in Bulletin 464, are republished in this report, together 

with results of leveling since 1909. All elevations are now based 

on the 1912 adjustment of heights of bench marks along the preciselevel line of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey from San 

Diego, Cal., viaMellen and Flagstaff, Ariz., to Albuquerque, N. Mex., 

and on the precise-level line of the United States Geological Survey 

from the. Arizona-New Mexico boundary line via Rincon and Albuquerque to Cuba, N. Mex.

Personnel. The field work from 1902 to 1906, inclusive, was done 

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

Barnard and Sledge Tatum, geographers, under the general direction 

of R. B. Marshall, chief geographer. The names of the respective 

levelmen are given in the introductions to the several lists. 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. 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 0.017-/D, in which D is the distance in miles between bench 

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

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

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

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 (0 and E, PI. I), 

3£ inches in diameter and one-quarter inch thick, having a 3-inch 

stem, which is cemented into 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, PI. 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 cap is riveted 

upon the top of the post. A third style of bench mark with abbreviated lettering (B and D, 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 (G, 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 ^-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 tides and winds 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 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 preciselevel lines of the United States Geological Survey, the Coast and 

Geodetic Survey, or other Government organizations are extended;

Topographic maps. Maps of the following quadrangles wholly or 

partly in New Mexico have been published by the United States 

Geological Survey up to July 1, 1916. They may be obtained, except

GRANT AND SOCORRO COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list were originally based on an 

aluminum tablet marked "1090" in the north front of the Maricopa 

County courthouse at Phoenix, Ariz., and the permanent bench 

marks are therefore stamped ' 'Phnx". Later leveling by the United 

States Geological Survey and 1912 adjustment elevations by the 

United States Coast and Geodetic Survey have enabled a connection 

to be made with mean sea datum, and the elevations listed herein 

have been reduced to that datum.

The leveling was done in 1902 and 1903 by Chester Irvine.

PRIMARY LEVELING. 31 

Alamogordo, Avis, Las Cruces, and Orogrande quadrangles.

DONA ANA AND OTERO COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list were determined by primary 

leveling extended from El Paso,. Tex., based on an elevation determined by precise leveling. The elevations on line from a point near 

Newman ranch to Anthony, in the Orogrande and Las Cruces quadrangles, part of a closed circuit, are adjusted. The line along the 

El Paso & Southwestern Railroad to Alamogordo and along highway 10 miles east of Alamogordo in the Alamogordo and Orogrande 

quadrangles is a single unchecked line. A circuit was extended from 

the latter point to Pinon, but on account of an excessive closure error 

it has not been adjusted. Additional elevations in the Las Cruces 

quadrangle are given in a list for precise leveling.

The leveling in the Orogrande and Las Cruces quadrangles was 

done in 1907 by Fred McLaughlin, and that in the Alamogordo, Avis, 

and Orogrande quadrangles in 1909 by K. W. Trimble.

RIO ARRIBA AND SAN JUAN COUNTIES.

The initial elevation for the following list is an elevation at Cuba 

determined by precise leveling. Several yard errors occurred during 

the progress of this work, most of which have been rectified upon final 

computation and by the rerunning of certain portions by Nussle, but 

there still remains an uncertainty of 3 feet in the elevations given in 

part of this list, which can not be corrected unless further field work 

is done.

Most of the leveling was done in 1906 by A. R. Carver. A part 

of that in the Monero and Dulce quadrangles was done in 1907 by 

Fred A. Nussle.

Shiprock quadrangle apart of Navajo Indian Reservation. 

SAN JUAN COUNTY.

The elevations in the following list were determined by primary 

leveling from Farmington and accord with the 1912 adjustment.

The bench mark at Farmington upon which this work depends is in 

the cement doorsill of the Pierce Mercantile Co.'s store, an aluminum 

tablet stamped "371," elevation 5,310.714 feet.

The elevation at Hogback was determined by two lines by the 

Indian Office from Farmington. Those from Hogback to a point 10 

miles west of that place are an average of Reclamation Service and 

General Land Office levels and the last 5 miles to Shiprock by a single 

line by the General Land Office.

The Land Office leveling was done in 1913.

Orthometric corrections have been applied and adjustment made 

by the Geological Survey.
