RESULTS OF SPIRIT LEVELING IN OREGON, 1896 TO 

1910, INCLUSIVE.

E. B. MARSHALL, Chief Geographer.

INTRODUCTION.

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

Oregon previously published by the United States Geological Survey 

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

by quadrangles. All elevations are based on the precise level line of 

the Coast and Geodetic Survey from Seattle, Wash., to Huntington, 

Oreg., as adjusted by that Survey in 1905, and on the precise line of 

the United States Geological Survey between Portland, Oreg., and 

the California-Oregon State line.

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

general direction of R. U. Goode, geographer; that for 1903 to 1906, 

inclusive, under E. M. Douglas, geographer; that for 1907 under 

R. B. Marshall, geographer; and the later work under T. G. Gerdine, 

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, 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 lines instruments and rods of the highest grade known are used; 

each line is run both forward and backward, and every precaution 

taken to guard against error. The allowable divergence between the 

forward_and backward lines in feet is represented by the formula 

0.017 T/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 

of 0.05 -/D, in which formula D equals the length of the circuit in 

miles, sufficient care being given 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.

6 SPIRIT LEVELING IN OREGON, 1896 TO 1910.

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), 

3.5 inches in diameter and 0.25 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. 

The second form (F, PI. I)., which is set in the ground where no 

masonry or rock is available, consists of a hollow wrought-iron post 

3J inches in 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 

washer $ inch in diameter. The tablets, as well as the caps on the 

iron posts, are appropriately lettered, and where States have cooperated in the work the fact of such cooperation is indicated by the addition of the State name (at #, PI. 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 ^-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 benchmark .elevations will apply to the Director of the United States Geological Survey, r at Washington, D. C., for their adjusted values, using 

the markings as identification numbers only.

Datum. AH Geological Survey elevations are referred to mean 

sea level, which is the level that the sea would assume if the influence 

of winds and tides 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 the high tides and the mean of all 

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

average height of tlie waiter, all stages of the tide being considered. 

It is, determined from observations made by means of tidal gauges 

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.

PRECISE LEVELING. 7

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 a 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 lines of the Geological Survey or other Government 

organizations are extended.

Topographic maps. Maps of the following quadrangles wholly or 

partly in Oregon have been published by the United States Geological Survey up to April 20, 1911. They may be obtained (except 

as noted) for 5 cents each or $3 a hundred, on application to the

The elevations in the following list are the results of a double 

simultaneous precise level line run by C. H. Semper, from Benicia, 

Cal., in 1902, and extended through Oregon in 1903, along the Southern Pacific Railroad to Portland. The elevation accepted at Porthind is that determined by a double primary level line run in 1898 by 

J. H. Oarlock from Coast and Geodetic Survey bench marks at 

Astoria. A Buff & Berger precise level and two double-faced nonextensible target rods were used.

Paulina, Prineville, Riley, Weiser, and Westfall Quadrangles.

CROOK, HARNEY, MALHEUR, SllERMAN, AND WASCO COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list are the results of a line of 

precise leveling begun at Ontario and run Avest along a stage road 

to Riley, thence northwest to Prineville, thence north to Biggs.

The line connects with the line run from Huntington, Oreg., via 

Weiser, Idaho, to Ontario, Oreg., the bench marks on which Avere 

checked by the transcontinental precise level party of the Coast and 

Geodetic Survey. The elevations are based upon the adjusted heights 

at Ontario, and no adjustment has been made between that point 

and Biggs, this line furnishing the accepted elevation at Biggs to 

Avhich the primary line from Astoria to Pasco is adjusted.

The leveling AAr as done by C. H. Semper in 1903 and 1904, by the 

double-rodded simultaneous method.

The standard bench marks are stamped Avith the letter " H " in 

addition to figures of elevation either 7 or 8 feet too IOAV, the correction to the original being +7.5 feet.

PRIMARY LEVELING.

Arlington, Astoria, Baker City, Birch Creek, Blalock Island, Carson, Cathlamet, 

Gibbon, Goldendale, Kalama, La Grande, Pendleton, Portland, Stevenson, 

St. Helen, Telocaset, The Dalles, Troutdale, and Uniatilla Quadrangles.

BAKER, CLATSOP, COLUMHIA, GILLIAM, MORROW, MULTN05IAH, SHERMAN, UBIATILLA, 

UNION, AND WASCO COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list are corrected values along double-, 

rodcled lines previously published in appendixes to the Twentieth and 

Twenty-first annual reports of the United States Geological Survey. They are based primarily upon bench marks of the Coast and 

Geodetic Survey at Astoria, and between that place and Portland 

the original figures have been retained. Between Huntington and 

the Washington-Oregon State line the line was resurveyed, many 

of the bench marks were redetermined, and some were reset by the 

transcontinental precise level party of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, and all the bench marks have been adjusted to accord with the 

1905- results obtained by that survey. They also accord at Biggs 

with the elevation brought by precise leveling, via Prineville, from, 

the corrected height at Ontario. On account of closures on Blalock 

Island and Umatilla quadrangles in 1906 and 190T, respectively, the 

adjustment made in 1905 was abandoned between Biggs and Pendleton, Oreg., and between Umatilla and Wallula, .Wash., and a new 

adjustment made as follows: First, a rod correction of 0.001 foot 

per foot, increasing original differences, has been applied to the line 

published in the Twenty-first Annual Report, as was found necessary 

by comparison with the Coast and Geodetic Survey work; second, a 

remaining closure error of 1.4 foot in circuit, via Umatilla, from 

Wallula, Wash., to Pendleton, has been distributed; and third, the 

line between Arlington and Umatilla has been raised to agreement 

without additional adjustment, and the remaining error, 1.3 feet, 

distributed on the line between Biggs and Arlington.
LEVELING. 23

The leveling from Astoria to Arlington was done in 1898 by J. H. 

Carlock, and the leveling along the other lines was done in 1899 by 

H. S. Crowe.

The standard bench marks are stamped with the letter "A." Some 

of the figures of elevation as stamped are as much as 8 feet too low 

near the Huntington end of the line.

The elevations in the following list are based on bench marks established by C. H. Semper in 1903 at Weiser, Ontario, and Vale, and are 

stamped with the letter "H." The transcontinental precise level 

party of the Coast and Geodetic Survey determined the elevation of 

the Huntington and other bench marks and made a correction of plus 

7.5 feet on Semper's line. All the bench marks stamped with the letter " H," in addition to the figures of elevation, are stamped 7 or 8 feet 

too low.

Bench marks set in 1905 are stamped "ADJ 1903 " in addition to 

figures noting field elevations.

The leveling of 1904 was done by the Reclamation Service and 

that of 1905 by Messrs. Morrow, Higley, Harris, and Evans of the 

Geological Survey.

Baker City, Siimpter, and Susanville Quadrangles.

BAKER, GRANT, AND UNION COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list are based upon preliminary 

adjustments by the transcontinental precise level party of the Coast 

and Geodetic Survey, which connected with bench marks of the Geological Survey along the Oregon-Washington Kailroad & Navigation 

Co.'s track. A part of the leveling in the Baker City and Sumpter 

quadrangles was previously reported in the appendix to the Twentyfirst Annual Report of the United States Geological Survey and a 

part.in Bulletin 185. The elevations in both publications are from 

7 to 9 feet too low. (For other elevations in the Baker City quad-' 

rangle, see line from Astoria to. Huntington.)

1 The error in this line is excessive. 

*
36 SPIRIT LEVELING IN OREGON, 1896 TO 1910.

Most .of the leveling was done in 1898-99 by W. R. Manning. 

Some work was done in Sumpter guadrangle in 1900 by C. L. Nelson, 

in the Baker City quadrangle by C. H. Semper in 1904, and in the 

Susanville quadrangle by Homer Hadley in 1905.

Elevation" figures on the standard bench marks stamped " B. C." 

are generally 6 feet high, arid figures on later bench marks stamped 

"A" are generally about 8 feet low.

The elevations in the folloAving list are based on a bronze tablet 

stamped " 3433 A," set in the astronomical pier "in front yard of the 

public school at Baker City. The elevation of this bench mark is 

accepted as 3,440.260 feet, as determined by the precise line of levels 

run along the Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation Co. track 

by the Coast and Geodetic Survey.

The leveling was done in 1905 by Stuart T. Penick and Homer

south of Pendleton, Oreg.) ; second, adjusts a remaining closure error 

of 1.4 feet from Wallula, Wash., via Umatilla to Pendleton, Oreg.; 

and, third, raises the line between Arlington and Umatilla to agreement without additional adjustment.

The leveling in the Arlington, Blalock Island, and Heppner quadrangles was done in 1906 by John R. Evans and that in the Umatilla
