EXPLANATORY NOTE

The results of spirit leveling given in this bulletin are arranged by "degree 

quadrangles," each covering one degree of latitude and longitude, in geographic 

order beginning at the southeast corner of the State. A diagram showing the 

area included is given for each degree quadrangle. After the matter covering 

degree quadrangles 38°-39°, 122°-123°, and 38°-39°, 123°-124°, was printed 

large errors in the adjustment of the level lines were found which make further 

field work necessary to determine the proper correction. This matter, includingFigures 41 and 42, has accordingly been omitted. At the end of the bulletin isgiven a list of approximate elevations obtained from various sources,

SPIEIT LEVELING IN CALIFOBNIA, 1896-1923

C. H. BIRDSEYE, Chief Topographic Engineer

INTRODUCTION

Cooperation. The State of California contributed financially 

to most of the level work done in Sacramento, Salinas, and San 

Joaquin valleys. Nearly all the expense of the United States Geological Survey's work done in 1922 and 1923 in Los Angeles County 

was borne by that county. The expense of the work done in other 

parts of the State was paid mainly from appropriations made for 

the United States Geological Survey, the United States Coast and 

Geodetic Survey, and the Corps of Engineers, United States Army.

Previous publications. The results of spirit leveling done in California from 1896 to 1910 have been published by the United States 

Geological Survey in Bulletins 342 and 481, and these results and 

those of later work in the State are included in this report. The 

elevations given are reckoned from mean sea level and in general 

are in accord with the precise-level lines run by the United States 

Coast and Geodetic Survey.

Personnel. The field work was done by the engineers of the 

Geological Survey named in the bulletin in connection with the 

matter showing the elevations determined. The office work, which 

involves the adjustment of the field notes to the data on record in 

the Geological Survey, was done by D. H. Baldwin under the supervision of E. M. Douglas, topographic engineer. The matter was 

compiled for publication by S. S. Gannett, geographer.

Classification of elevations. The elevations shown are classified 

as precise or primary, according to the methods employed in their 

determination. For precise 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 in feet between a line run forward and one run backward 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-level lines, with an allowable closing error in feet represented 

by the formula 0.05 Vl), in which D is the length of the circuit in 

miles, the work being done with sufficient care to maintain this 

standard. For levels of both classes careful office adjustments are 

made, the small outstanding errors being distributed over the lines.
2 .SPIRIT LEVELING IN CALIFORNIA, 1896-1923

Bench marks. The standard bench marks used by the United 

States Geological Survey prior to 1920 were of two forms. One, 

still in use, is a circular bronze or aluminum tablet (0 and E, PL I), 

3y2 inches in diameter and one-quarter of an inch thick, having 

a 3-inch stem, which is cemented into a hole drilled in solid rock 

or in the wall of some public building, a bridge abutment, or other 

substantial masonry structure. The other form (F, PL I), which 

was used where masonry or rock was not available, consists of a 

hollow wrought-iron post 3^ inches in outer diameter and 4 feet 

in length, which was set about 3 feet in the ground. The bottom 

was spread out to a width of 10 inches in order to get a firm bearing. An aluminum-bronze cap was riveted upon the top of the post. 

A third style of bench mark with abbreviated lettering (B and Z>, 

PL I) is used for unimportant points. This consists of a special 

copper nail, 1% inches long, driven into a wooden structure through 

a copper washer seven-eighths of an inch in diameter. The tablets 

as well as the caps on the iron posts and the washer are appropriately lettered, and cooperation with States is indicated (G-, PL 

I). Since 1920 concrete posts having a bronze tablet in the top 

have been used instead of iron posts.

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 work, which includes the reduction of the elevations to 

mean sea level, may so change some of the figures that the markings 

stamped 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 elevations and will use the 

elevations marked only for identification. The present practice of 

the United States Geological Survey and the United States Coast 

and Geodetic Survey is to defer the stamping of elevations on bench 

marks until after the office adjustment has been completed. When 

the levelman establishes a bench mark he stamps on it a serial number, the year, and his initial letter, for identification only.

Datum. All elevations determined by the United States Geological Survey and the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey 

are measured from mean sea level, which is the level the surface 

of the sea would assume if all disturbing influences of tide, current, 

and wind were removed. Mean sea level is thus the average of all 

the hourly heights of the tide; it differs somewhat from mean tide 

level, which is the average of the high and low water. It is determined from observations made by means of tidal gages placed at 

stations where the height of the water is not affected \$$ local con-

ditions, such as are due to long narrow bays, rivers, and like features. 

To obtain even approximately correct results these observations must 

extend over at least one lunar month, and if great accuracy is desired 

they must extend over several years. At ocean stations the halftide 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 made in the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf 

of Mexico, and the Pacific Ocean.

The elevations shown on some bench marks that lie far from the 

sea have been determined not by means of lines run to them from 

sea level by Government engineers but by means of lines run by those 

engineers from inland datum points fixed by railroad, municipal, or 

other engineers. On such a bench mark the datum point used is 

indicated by letters or a word stamped after the word "datum," 

the meaning of which is shown in the text. The elevations thus 

provisionally adopted are corrected from time to time as the Government precise-level lines are extended.

Index map. The accompanying index map of the State of California (PI. II) shows the geographic positions and the relations of 

the quadrangles in which leveling work has been done. Maps of these 

quadrangles (except those whose names are inclosed in parentheses, 

which have not been mapped) may be purchased from the United 

States Geological Survey at 10 cents each. A discount of 40 per cent 

is allowed on an order amounting to $5 at the retail price.

The elevations in the following list were determined by primary 

leveling corrected provisionally to accord with the elevation of a 

bench mark 16 miles south of Bennett's well, Calif.,' as published in 

Bulletin 342, page 90.

The line is not adjusted and the elevation of the initial bench mark, 

2.1 miles north of Riggs, as published on page 109,, Bulletin 481, is 

not used because it was not well determined. The possible corrections 

to it are plus /1.259 feet from Barnwell, or minus 0.828 foot from 

Stump Springs, removing adjustment of old circuit, or plus 0.817 foot 

by this line.
