SPIRIT LEVELING IN NEW YORK, 1896-1905 

AND 1912-1916.

INTRODUCTION.

Cooperation. The State of New York contributed financially to 

the work during the years 1896 to 1905 and from 1912 to 1916, inclusive, being represented by the office of the State engineer and 

surveyor.

Previous publication. The following results of spirit leveling are 

supplemental to and accord with the elevations contained in Bulletin 

514, and are in agreement with the 1912 adjustment of precise leveling. Descriptions and elevations of bench marks in Bulletin 281 are 

reprinted in this volume with corrections and additions.

Bulletin 514 and this bulletin together contain practically all results of leveling in New York State by the United States Geological Survey, the Coast and Geodetic Survey, the U. S. Lake Survey, the New York State Survey, the Board of Deep Waterways, 

and by the Corps of Engineers, United States Army. These elevations are likely to be changed but little by any future adjustment.

Corrections. The following corrections to Bulletin 514 should be 

noted:

Pages 137-17, Lyon Mountain and Dannemora quadrangles: Connection made 

In 1912 with Coast and Geodetic Survey bench mark at Plattsburg necessitated 

a readjustment of elevations, and the corrected results are published in this 

volume.

Pages 17-18, Massena and Potsdam quadrangles: As a result of additional 

connections, circuits were readjusted in November, 1916, and. corrected elevations are published in this volume.

granted April 21, 1915. Croghan, 70 feet south of railroad, etc.: Bench mark 

has been reset in new steps, but no record of its elevation has been received.

Personnel. The field work from 1896 to 1906, inclusive, was done 

under the direction of H. M. Wilson, geographer, and the later work 

under Frank Sutton, geographer. The work since January, 1908, 

was done under the general direction of R. B. Marshall, chief geographer. Credit is given in the headings of the several lists to the 

respective levelmen. The office work in preparation of lists was done 

mainly by S. S. Gannett, geographer, 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. The 

former are determined by lines of levels run either in both forward 

and backward directions or by 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. The latter or primary levels are 

determined with the Y level, the levels being run mostly in circuits 

of single lines. The allowable limit of error observed on the precise 

work already done by the Geological Survey in this State is represented in feet by 0.03 -/D and that for the primary work by 0.05 VD, 

in which D is the length of circuit in miles.

Bench marks. The standard bench marks are in two forms. The 

first form is a circular bronze or aluminum tablet (G and E, PL 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, a bridge abutment, or other substantial masonry structure. 

The second form (F, PI. I), used where masonry or rock is not available, consists of a hollow wrought-iron post 3£ inches in outer diamter and 4 feet in length. It is split at the bottom and spread out 

to a width of 10 inches in order to give a firm bearing on the earth, 

and is set about 3 feet in the ground. A bronze or aluminum-bronze 

cap is riveted upon 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 .erf a special copper nail If 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 

cooperation by States is indicated by the addition of the State name 

(G, PI. I). Another form used in 1896 and 1897 was a copper rod
INTRODUCTION. 7

4 inches long and 1 inch in diameter fastened into masonry or solid 

rock by driving it on a brass wedge placed in the bottom of a vertical hole, so that the top of the bolt was horizontal and thus formed 

the bench mark.

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 of 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 the adjusted values, and will use the markings as 

identification numbers only.

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

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 the half-tide level. 

Mean sea level is the average height of the water, all stages of the 

tide being considered. It; is determined from hourly 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 accuracy is desired they must extend over several years. At 

ocean stations the half-tide level and the mean sea level usually differ 

but little. It is assumed that there is no difference between the mean 

sea levels as determined from observations in the Atlantic Ocean, 

the Gulf of Mexico, and 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 lines of the United States Geological Survey, the 

United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, or other Government organizations are extended.

Topographic maps. Maps of the following quadrangles, wholly or 

partly in New York, have been published by the United States Geological Survey up to March 1, 1918. They may be obtained, unless

DATA CONCERNING THE GREENBUSH BENCH MARK AND THE ELEVATION OF 

HUDSON RIVER AT ALBANY.

The Greenbush bench mark, otherwise known as the " GristmAll" bench 

mark, was established by the Coast and Geodetic Survey in 1857. It is a cross 

cut in the face of the cellar wall of an old gristmill at Greenbush, opposite 

Albany, and has been an important reference mark of several Government and 

State surveys. The elevation of this bench mark is now accepted as 13.863

1 See Bull. 514, pp. 48-50, for other elevations.
184 SPIRIT LEVELING IN NEW YORK, 1896-1905, 1912-1916.

feet, ,as determined by precise leveling of the Coast and Geodetic Survey in 

1902 from Dobbs Ferry and not changed by the 1907 or 1912 adjustment of 

precise leveling. Other elevations that .have been determined for this bench 

mark at various times previously are given in the following table taken from 

the 1901 Report of the State Engineer:

The elevation used for this bench mark by the U. S. Lake Survey in determination of the elevations of the Great Lakes, as published in Professional 

Papers No. 24, Corps of Engineers, United States Army, page 609, 1888, was 

1.4.73 feet, which is also the value used for it by the Coast and Geodetic Survey 

between 1877 and 1900, by the Deep Waterway Survey in 1898-99, and by the 

Barge Canal Survey since 1900. The elevations given in the Report of the 

State Engineer for 1901 as " above mean tide New York," include this value 

for the Greenbush bench mark, therefore at Albany they are subject to a 

correction of minus 0.867 foot to accord with the 1912 adjustment value.

The elevation of Hudson River at Albany was determined from the lower 

miter sill of lock 1, which is reported to be a reliable reference mark. The 

height of mean low water above this point is given in the Report of the State 

Engineer for 1888, page 97, as 7.443 feet. The elevations in.that report, a« in 

the report i'or 1877, are based upon mean low water. The elevation of canal 

bench mark 4a, on lock 1, above the lower miter sill, was determined in 1901 

as 23.855 feet (see elevations of these points, pages 657 and 709, Report of the 

State Engineer and Surveyor, 1901) and the accepted elevation of bench mark 

4a, determined by precise leveling of the Lake Survey in 1902, as adjusted by 

the Coast and Geodetic Survey in 1903, is 16.824 feet. Mean half-tide range 

at Albany from Tide Tables, published by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, is 

1.2 feet. Mean half-tide level at Albany is therefore 16.824.-23.855+7.443+ 

1.2=1.612 feet above mean sea level.
