RESULTS OF SPIRIT LEVELING IN MINNESOTA, 1897 TO

1910, INCLUSIVE.

R. B. MAESHALL, Chief Geographer.

INTRODUCTION.

Scope of the wL All results of spirit leveling in Minnesota previously published by the United States Geological Survey and all the 

results of later work in the State are included in this report, rearranged 

by quadrangles. All elevations are based on the precise-level net 

adjustment of 1907 by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey 

to a common mean sea level datum. The part of this net which lies 

within or along the borders of Minnesota comprises the line along 

Mississippi River from the southeast corner of the State to Lake 

Itasca; the line from Brainerd via Aitkin and Grand Rapids to Cass 

Lake, the line of the Corps of Engineers, United States Army from 

St. Paul to Duluth, and also the following lines by the Coast and 

Geodetic Survey: St. Cloud via Evansville and Childs to Ortonville, 

and Evansville via Fergus Falls and Crookston to Stephen.

Personnel. The field work previous to 1903 was done under the 

general direction of J. H. Renshawe, geographer; that for 1903 to 

1906, inclusive, under H. M. Wilson, geographer; and the later work 

under W. H. Herron, geographer, under the general direction of 

R. B. Marshall, chief geographer. Credit is given to the different 

levelmen in the introduction to each list. 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 in both forward and backward directions, 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 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 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, PL I), 

3£ inches in diameter and one-fourth 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, 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 after being split at the bottom 

and expanded to a width of 10 inches in order to give a firm bearing on 

the earth. A bronze or aluminum-bronze cap is riveted over the 

top of the post, which is set about 3 feet in the ground. 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 of 

an inch in diameter.

The tablets as well as the caps on the iron posts are appropriately 

lettered, and for cooperating States the fact of such cooperation is 

indicated by the addition of the State name (at 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 ^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 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 United States Geological Survey elevations 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 ticial gages placed at stations where local conditions, 

such as long narrow bays, rivers, and like features will riot affect the

height of the water. To obtain even approximately correct results 

.these observations must extend over at least one lunar month, and

0

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 level as determined from observations in the Atlantic Ocean, the 

Giilf of Mexico, or 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 of 

published results will be made from time to time as the precise-level 

lines of the United States Geological Survey or other Government 

organizations are extended.

There are included herewith the results of leveling in certain wet, 

overflowed, or swampy lands, ceded by the Chippewa Indians, in the 

counties of Beltrami, Itasca, Marshall,-Polk, Red Lake, and Roseau, 

the survey of which was specifically provided for by Congress June 

21, 1906, and finally reported upon in House Document 27, Sixty-first 

Congress, first session. The elevations of bench marks given in that 

document have been corrected to agree, with the adjustment of precise 

leveling made in 1907.

Maps of the following quadrangles, wholly or partly in Minnesota, 

have been published by the United States Geological Survey up to 

February 15, 1911. They may be obtained for 5 cents each, or S3 a

The elevations in the following list are the result of a line of precise levels run by C. H. Semper in 1906 from Crookston to Middle River, 

and extended in 1907 by E. L. McNair from Middle River northward 

along the Great Northern Railway to Greenbush; thence along highways via Badger and Roseau to Warroad, a small town on the Canadian Northern Railway at the southwestern extremity of the Lake 

of the Woods and only about 7 miles south of the forty-ninth parallel; thence eastward along the Canadian Northern Railway to

GRANT, OTTERTAIL, AND STBVENS COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list were determined by primary 

leveling extended from the precise-level line of the Coast and Geodetic 

Survey which crosses the Barrett, Herman, Ashby, Wendell, and 

Fergus Falls quadrangles. The work of 1910 is a continuation of that 

done in 1909. The elevations accord with the 1907 adjustment.

The leveling was done as follows: In Morris quadrangle, in 1909, by 

G. E. Halstead; in Barrett and Herman quadrangles, in 1909, by 

C. R. Beckler; in Chokio quadrangle, in 1909, by G. E. Halstead, and 

in 1910, by E. C. Bibbee; in Ashby quadrangle, in 1910, by J. M. Ray; 

in Wendell quadrangle by C. R,. Beckler in 1909 and by J. M. Ray and 

E. C. Bibbee in 1910; and in Fergus Falls, Rothsay, Underwood, and 

Battle Lake quadrangles by J. M. Ray and E. C. Bibbee in 1910.
