RESULTS OF SPIRIT LEVELING IN DELAWARE, DISTRICT

OF COLUMBIA, MARYLAND, AND VIRGINIA,

1896 TO 1909, INCLUSIVE.

R. B. MARSHALL, Chief Geographer.

INTRODUCTION.

Scope of the work The results herein given are based on a common mean sea-level datum. The main control is the adjustment made 

in 1903 by the Coast and Geodetic Survey of a great net of precise levels, 

which combines work of various organizations and covers the eastern 

half of the United States.

The precise-level lines which lie wholly or partly in the combined 

area of Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia are 

as follows: The Coast and Geodetic Survey lines (1) from Norfolk, 

Va., to Washington, D. C., and (2) the transcontinental line from 

Washington, D. C., westward; the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad lines 

(1) from Philadelphia, Pa., via Wilmington, Del., Relay, Washington 

Junction, and Cumberland, Md., to Grafton, W. Va., (2) from Relay 

via Washington to Washington Junction and on the Landenberg 

branch; and the United States Geological Survey lines (1) from 

Durham, N. C., to Clarksville, Va., and (2) from Greensboro, N. C., 

via Buchanan, Va., to Alleghany Station, Va.

All results of spirit leveling in these States previously published 

by the United States Geological Survey and all later work are included in this report, readjusted, and rearranged by quadrangles. 

Descriptions and elevations of bench marks are given for all 3 counties in Delaware, for 19 of the 23 counties in Maryland, and for 21 

of the 100 counties in Virginia. For convenient reference the descriptions and elevations of bench marks in the District of Columbia 

established by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, the United States 

Engineer Corps, and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (none having 

been established by the United States Geological Survey) are also 

included in this publication, as well as the results of a double primarylevel line run by the water-resources branch in the valley of the 

Roanoke River in Virginia from Clarksville to Rockymount.

5
6 RESULTS OP SPIRIT LEVELING, 1896 TO 1909.

To convert the elevations herein given to agree with the 1907 adjustment of the precise-level net, a readjustment would be necessary, 

correcting the elevations north and west of Washington by amounts 

in feet, varying gradually from place to place, approximately as follows: Washington 0.00, Kelay -0.17, Baltimore -0.07, Havre de 

Grace +0.10, Washington Junction 0.17, Hagerstown 0.26, 

Cherry Kun -0.28, Cumberland -0.46, and Oakland -0.46. The 

publication in detail of such readjustment was, however, not considered advisable, because the elevations herein given are in agreement 

with those given in Bulletin No. 288, containing results of spirit 

leveling in Pennsylvania, and Bulletin No. 399, containing results in 

West Virginia, all of which accord with the 1903 adjustment.

Bench marks. The bench marks, the locations of which are given 

in the following lists, are mainly of three general forms: First, a 

circular bronze or aluminum tablet 3| inches in diameter and onefourth inch thick, appropriately lettered, having a 3-inch stem 

cemented in a drill hole, generally in the vertical wall of a public 

building, a bridge abutment, or other substantial masonry structure. 

The second form, employed where masonry or rock is not accessible, 

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 

10 inches at base, so as to prevent both the easy subsidence of the 

post and the malicious pulling of it out of the ground. These posts 

are generally sunk 3 feet in the ground; the iron is heavily coated 

with asphalt, and over the top of the post is riveted a bronze tablet 

similar to that described above. The third form consists of a copper 

bolt 1 inch in diameter and 4 inches long, which is split at one end 

and expanded in a drill hole in masonry by driving on a brass wedge. 

But few bench marks of the third class have been used in these States, 

and their use has now been discontinued.

The numbers Stamped On the bench marks represent the elevations 

to the nearest foot above mean sea level, as determined by unadjusted 

levels in the field. The notes have since been subjected to changes 

resulting from the adjustments necessary to close circuits and to 

those resulting from reduction to mean sea level through readjustment of the precise-level net of the United States. Some of the 

finally accepted elevations as printed herein therefore differ from 

those submitted as bench-mark numbers by 1 or 2 feet. This 

method of numbering bench marks has been adopted, where many 

level men are working in the same area at the same time, as less liable 

to lead to confusion in identification of bench marks than any attempt at serial numbering, and because such bench-mark number 

also gives an approximate statement of the elevation. It is assumed 

that engineers and others finding these bench marks so stamped in 

the field will communicate with the Director of the United States
DELAWARE. . 7

Geological Survey in order to obtain the accepted elevation to 

hundredths or thousandths of a foot. Bench marks established 

under cooperation with the State are stamped with the state name.

Any person finding bench marks in the following lists mutilated or 

destroyed will confer a favor by notifying the Director, United States 

Geological Survey, Washington, D. C.

Cooperation and personnel. The leveling in Maryland was done in 

cooperation with the State during the years 1896 to 1908, inclusive. 

In Virginia the only leveling done in cooperation was that in the 

Virgilina district in 1908. In Delaware none of the work was done in 

cooperation.

The field work for the years 1896 to 1906, inclusive, was done 

under the direction of H. M. Wilson, geographer; for the years 

1907, 1908, and 1909 under Frank Sutton, geographer; and in 1908 and 

1909 under the general supervision of R. B. Marshall, chief .geographer.

Credit is given to the various level men directly in charge under the 

heading of each list.

The office work of computation, adjustment, and preparation of 

lists was principally done by D. H. Baldwin, topographer, under the 

immediate supervision of S. S. Gannett, geographer, and since 1907 

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

Classification. The elevations determined by the United States 

Geological Survey are classified, according to the accuracy of the 

method of leveling employed in their determination, as precise or 

primary. Under precise leveling are included lines run in both 

forward and backward directions, a high-grade instrument being 

used and special precautions being taken in observations and reduction to correct errors and make the lines continuously good throughout. 

The allowable limit of error observed by the United States Geological 

Survey on precise work is represented in feet by the formula 0.0 1 7 -^/D" 

in which D is the distance between bench marks in miles. Under 

primary leveling are included lines run mostly single with the Y 

level, precautions being taken against only the principal sources 

of error, and depending upon the closure of circuits for a check. 

The limit in feet in primary work is represented by the formula 

T, in which D is the length of circuit in miles.

Belair, Elkton, Havre de Grace, and Parkton quadrangles.

BALTIMORE, CECIL, AND HARFOKD COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list are based on an aluminum 

tablet in the City Hall Building at Baltimore stamped "21," the 

height of which is accepted as 20.630 feet above mean sea level, as 

published in Bulletin 185. The stated elevation of this bench 

is as follows: By Baltimore City datum, 21.353; by Pennsylvania 

Railroad, 19.990; by Baltimore and Ohio precise levels, uncorrected, 

20.939; by Baltimore and Ohio levels, corrected to 1903 adjustment 

at Washington, 20.745; and by Baltimore and Ohio levels, corrected 

to 1907 adjustment at Baltimore, 20.563. The accepted elevation 

was determined by applying 0.640 foot to Pennsylvania Railroad elevations between Elkton and Baltimore, approximately a mean correction derived from gages at Baltimore and Havre de Grace of the 

Coast and Geodetic Survey.

The leveling was done as follows: In Elkton quadrangle in 1896 by 

0. L. Pettibone; in Havre de Grace quadrangle in 1899 by C. M. 

Smith; in Belair quadrangle in 1899 by C. M. Smith and George 

Bailey, and in 1900 by J. W. Hodges; in Parkton quadrangle in 1899 

by C. M. Smith and George Bailey, and in 1900 by J. W. Hodges, 

J. S. B. Daingerfield, and Hargraves Wood.

PRECISE LEVELING.

Clarksville, Clifton Forge, Fincastle, Leslie, Lewisburg (30X ), Martinsville, Natural 

Bridge Special, Rocky Mount (30X ), and Roanoke (30') quadrangles.

ALLEGHAN Y, BOTETOURT, FRANKLIN, HENHY, MECKLENBURG, AND ROANOKE COUNTIES.

The following list embodies the Virginia portion of the results of 

two lines of precise levels. The first line, a spur, from Durham, N. C., 

to Clarksville, Va., was run in 1905 by R. L. Libbey. The second 

line, from Greensboro, N. C., to Lock No. 6, near Charleston, W. Va., 

was run in three sections: (1) from Greensboro, N. C., to Buchanan, 

Va. ; along the Norfolk and Western Railway, in 1905, by R. L. 

Libbey; (2) from Buchanan to Moss Run, along the Chesapeake and 

Ohio Railway, in 1906, byN. A. Campbell; and (3) from Moss Run to 

Lock No. 6, along the Chesapeake and Ohio and the Kanawha and 

Michigan railways, in 1907, by C. H. 'Semper.

The closure error of the second line upon the United States Engineer Corps elevation at Lock No. 6, corrected to accord with the 1903 

adjustment, was 0.732 foot high; but this error has been removed by 

adjustment over a total distance of 365 miles.

These lines were leveled independently in both forward and 

backward directions, broken by temporary bench marks into sections 

0.5 mile to 1.5 miles in length. On all sections on which the backward and forward measures differed by more than the allowable limit 

of error, the forward and backward measures were repeated until a 

pair run in opposite directions agreed within such limit; and all the 

other requirements necessary to obtain accurate results were closely 

adhered to.

The instruments used in 1905 were two self-reading rods-, 3.2 meters 

in length (graduated to centimeters and reading by estimation to 

millimeters), one Coast and Geodetic Survejr precise level, and one 

large shade umbrella. For the work of 1906 and 1907 rods graduated to yards and decimals were substituted for metric, to facilitate 

reduction of elevations to feet. These survey parties of each year 

consisted of 5 persons 2 rodmen, 1 umbrella man, and 1 recorder, 

under the direction of the levelman in charge.

CAMPBELL, CHARLOTTE, HALIFAX, MECKLENBURG, AND PITTSYLVANIA COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list result mainly from a line of 

levels run in 1905 by A. H. Horton, of the water-resources branch, 

from a bench mark at Clarksville established by the precise-level 

party of R. L. Libby. The line follows Roanoke River (approximately) from Clarksville to Hurt; thence the railroad via Elba to 

Rocky Mount, where it is connected with a bench mark also established by Mr. Libby. A spur line extends 14 miles down Roanoke 

River from Clarksville, and another line extends from Toshes to 

Deerwood Ford.

Additional work was done in 1908 by E. 0. Halbert, in cooperation with the State, in Clarksville, Clover, Nathalie, and Virgilina 

quadrangles, based on bench marks at Clarksville, Randolph, and 

Clarkton.
