RESULTS OF SPIRIT LEVELING IN MICHIGAN AND 

. WISCONSIN, 1897 TO 1909, INCLUSIVE.

R. B. MARSHALL, Chief Geographer.

INTRODUCTION.

Scope of the work. All results of spirit leveling in the States of 

Michigan and Wisconsin previously published by the United States 

Geological Survey and all the results of later 'work are included in 

this report, rearranged by quadrangles. Unless otherwise stated 

all elevations are based on the precise level.net adjustment of 1907 

by the Coast and Geodetic Survey to a common mean sea-level 

datum. The part of this net which lies within or along the borders 

of these States comprises the line of the Mississippi River Commission along the western border of Wisconsin and the water leveling 

done by the Corps of Engineers, United States Army, on Lakes 

Superior, Huron, and Michigan.

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

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

and 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. The names of the various levelmen are given 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, 

since 1907, under the general direction of E. M. Douglas, geographer.

Method. The leveling in Michigan and Wisconsin was executed 

with Y levels and New York leveling rods modified to suit the special 

needs of the United States Geological Survey. Lines were run in circuits and sufficient accuracy maintained to insure closing errors not 

exceeding in feet 0.05 VB", in which formula D represents the length of 

the circuit in miles. The' small outstanding errors by the office 

adjustment were distributed along the lines in proportion to their 

length.

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 £ inch thick, having a 3-inch stem, 

which is cemented in a drill hole in solid rock in the wall of some public building, bridge abutment, or other substantial masonry structure.

5
6 SPIRIT LEVELING IN MICHIGAN AND WISCONSIN, 1897 TO 1009.

The second form (/?, PL I), which is to be set in the ground where 

no masonry or rock is available, consists of a hollow wrought-iron 

post 3^ inches outside diameter and 4 feet long. 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 over the 

top of the post. A third style of bench mark with abbreviated lettering (B and Z>, PI. I) is used for unimportant points. This consists of a special copper nail 1| inches in length driven through a 

copper Avasher $ inch in diameter. The tablets as well as the caps 

on the iron posts are appropriately lettered, and where States have 

cooperated in the leveling the fact of such cooperation is indicated 

by the addition of the State name (G, PL I).

' The numbers stamped on the bench marks described in the following 

pages are the elevations to the nearest foot, as determined by the levelman. .These numbers are stamped with y\-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 

their adjusted values, using the. markings as identification numbers 

only.

Datum. All 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 lowest tides, nor is it 

 the half sum of the mean of all theliigh tides and the mean of all the 

low tides, which is called the half-tide level. Mean sea level is the 

average Jieight of tlie water, all stages of tJie 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 great accuracy is desired 

they must extend over several years. At ocean stations the half-tide 

level and 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, Gulf 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 for 

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

PRIMARY LEVELING.

Ann Arbor, Detroit, Grosse Point, and Toledo Quadrangles. 

MONROE, WASHTENAW, AND WAYNE COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list are based on that of permanent 

bench mark No. 1, of the United States Corps of Engineers, at 

Edward Hall's residence, Gibraltar. The elevation of this bench 

mark is accepted as 587.609 feet above mean sea level.

The leveling was done by R. E. Whipple in 1901-2 and by Fulton 

Pace in 1903. The two standard bench marks in the Grosse Point 

quadrangle were set in 1904 by C. E. Cooke, and the one in the Toledo 

quadrangle was set in 1899 by Dean Halford.

Most of the leveling in the Pontiac quadrangle was done in 1905 

by H. W. Peabody. The leveling in the Rochester quadrangle was 

done in 1906 by C. K. Alexander, who also did additional work in 

the Pontiac quadrangle.
