RESULTS OF SPIRIT LEVELING IN WEST VIRGINIA, 

1896 TO 1908, INCLUSIVE.

Compiled by S. S. GANNETT and D. H. BALDWIN.

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 traverse West Virginia are the "transcontinental" line of the 

Coast and Geodetic Survey following the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from Corinth to Parkersburg; the Baltimore and Ohio preciselevel line from Harpers Ferry via Cumberland and Grafton to Moundsville; the precise levels of the Ohio River survey by the Corps of 

Engineers, U. S. Army; and two lines by the United States Geological 

'Survey from Grafton north along the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad 

to the state line and from Alleghany west to Charleston. The 

results of adjustments of the Ohio River survey line are given by 

the Coast and Geodetic Survey only for junction points with other 

precise lings; the adjusted heights at other points were interpolated 

by the United States Geological Survey. The portion of the Baltimore and Ohio line lying between Cumberland, Md., and Benwood, 

W. Va., is recent work and did not form part of the data involved in 

the net adjustment, but an adjustment has been made of this line 

and corrections made to the primary leveling in agreement. 

 All results of spirit leveling in this State 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 48 counties, furnishing vertical cdntrol for nearly half the State.

Personnel. The field work for the years 1896 to 1906, inclusive, 

was done under the direction of H. M. Wilson, geographer, and for

5
6 SPIRIT LEVELING IN WEST VIRGINIA, 1896 TO 1908.

the years 1907 and 1908 under Frank Sutton, geographer, in 1908 

under the general supervision of K. 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 adjustment 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.

Methods of determination. The lists are arranged according to the 

degree of accuracy of the method used in their determination, precise and primary. Under precise leveling are included either lines 

run' in both forward and backward directions or simultaneous 

double-rodded lines, a high-grade instrument being used and special 

precautions being taken in observations and reduction to correct 

errors and make the line continuously good throughout. 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 allowable limit of error observed on the double-simultaneous 

precise line from Grafton, W. Va., to Pittsburg, Pa., by the Geological Survey is represented in feet by the formula 0.04-^D, and the 

limit observed on the precise line from Alleghany to Charleston, by

the forward and backward method, by the formula 0.017-/D, in 

which D is the distance between bench marks in miles. The limit 

in feet on primary work is 0.05^/D, in which D is the length of circuit in miles.

Bench marks. The bench marks described in the following list are mainly of three general forms: First, a circular'bronze or aluminum 

tablet 3-2- inches in diameter and one-fourth inch thick, appropriately lettered, having a 3-inch stem cemented into a drill hole, 

generally in the vertical walls of public buildings, bridge abutments, 

or other substantial masonry structures. The second form,0 employed 

where masonry or rock is not accessible, consists of a hollow wroughtiron post 4 feet in length and 3.5 inches in outer diameter, split at 

the bottom and expanded to 10 inches, so as to prevent both the easy 

subsidence of the post and the malicious pulling of it out of 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 this State, and their use has now been 

discontinued.

The numbers stamped upon the bench marks as described in the 

following lists represent the elevations to the nearest foot above mean
PRECISE LEVELING. 7

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, and therefore in some cases the finally accepted elevations as printed herein differ from those submitted as bench-mark 

numbers by 1 or 2 feet. This method of numbering bench marks has 

been adopted- where many levelmen 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 the 

bench-mark number at the same time gives an approximate statement of the elevation. It is assumed that engineers and o.thers finding these bench marks so stamped in the field will communicate with 

the Director of the United States Geological Survey in order to

obtain the accepted elevation to hundredths or thousandths of a foot. 

Bench marks established under cooperation with the State of West 

Virginia 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.

The elevations in the following list are a portion of the result of a 

line of precise levels run in 1899 from Grafton, W. Va., to Pittsburg, 

Pa., by E. L. McNair. This line was included in the adjustment of 

the precise-level net made in 1903 by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, 

with-the result that the elevation by the original line was lowered 

at Braddock, Pa., 0.112,foot with respect to Grafton in a total distance of 142.5 miles, and 0.053 foot of this error has been adjusted 

into this West Virginia portion.

The double-simultaneous method was employed with a Buff & 

Berger precise level and two double-faced 10-foot nonextensible target 

rods.

The following are the adjusted results of a line of precise levels 

extended from precise leveling in Virginia and North Carolina; the 

closure error, using the Kanawha River survey levels of the army 

engineers to complete the line from Charleston to the Ohio River, 

was + 0.732 foot upon the 1903 adjustment at Point Pleasant. This 

error has been adjusted through the entire line from Greensboro, 

N. C. ; the West Virginia portion being corrected by amounts proportionate to the mileage, between 0.44 foot at Alleghany and 0.732 

foot at Lock 6, or at a rate of about 0.002 foot per mile.

The prism level and yard rods were used and the latest methods

employed.

The leveling was done in 1907 by C. H. Semper, level man.

HOONK, KANAW.HA, LINCOLN, MASON, McDOWELL, MINGO, PUTNAM, AND WYOMING

COUNTIES.

 The elevations in the following list are based upon corrected 

levels of the Great Kanawha River survey of the army engineers, 

checked by primary leveling from the Ohio River survey preciselevel line. Some of the descriptions were previously published 

under Charleston and Oceana (30') quadrangles. The elevations 

now given are 3.855 feet greater than by the datum of the old Great 

Kanawha River levels. The work is now subdivided into 15' 

quadrangles.

Leveling was done in each quadrangle in 1896 and 1897 by Hargraves Wood; additional elevations were established in 1907 in the 

Charleston Special by R. A. Kiger, and in 1908 in the Peytona and 

Madison quadrangles by E. S. Dawson.

The elevations stamped on the standard bench marks set in 1897 

and 1908 are mostly 1 foot too high, while the elevations stamped 

on those set in 1896 and 1907 are generally correct.
