RESULTS OF SPIRIT LEVELING IN MAINE, NEW HAMPSHIRE, AND VERMONT, 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 these States are (1) from Portland northeast along the 

Maine Central Railroad to Brunswick, Me.; (2) from Portland along 

the Maine Central Railroad to Cornish, thence west along highways 

to the New Hampshire-Maine state line, thence westward via Lake 

Winnepesaukee across New Hampshire to South Newbury, Vt., 

thence down the Connecticut River Valley to White River Junction, 

Vt., where a check was obtained on a bench mark established by primary leveling extended from a tidal bench mark near Portsmouth, 

N.H. . 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 15 out of 16 counties in Maine, for 9 out of 10 counties in New Hampshire, and for 7 out 

of 14 counties in Vermont.

The results of leveling by the water resources branch in Maine and 

New Hampshire are also included.

Personnel. The field work during 1898 to 1906, inclusive, was done 

under the direction of H. M. Wilson, geographer, and that during 1907 

to 1909, inclusive, was done 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 heading of 

each list to the different levelmen.

The leveling in Maine was done in cooperation with the State during 

the years 1899 to 1909, inclusive. The leveling in Jtfew Hampshire 

and Vermont was not done in cooperation with the States.

5
6 SPIRIT LEVELING; 1896 TO .1909.

The office work of computation and compilation of results was 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 lists are separated into two classes^ precise and 

primary, distinguishing the degree of refinement in the method of 

leveling employed; and each list is subdivided so that the results for 

each quadrangle are combined. The elevations under precise leveling 

were determined by lines run in both forward and backward directions, a high-grade level and rated rods being used and special precautions being taken in observation and reduction to correct error and 

make the results continuously good; elevations under primary leveling 

were determined mostly by single lines run 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 precise lines is represented in feet by the 

formula 0.017 -JD, in which D is the distance between bench marks in 

miles. The limit in feet on primary work is 0.05 -JD, in which D is 

the length of circuit in miles.

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

the following lists, are of three general forms: First, a circular bronze 

or aluminum tablet 3£ inches in diameter and one-fourth 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 wroughtiron post 3% inches in outer diameter and 4 feet in length, 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 

reduce to mean sea level through connection with or readjustment of 

the precise-level net of the United States. Some of the elevations as 

finally accepted and printed herein therefore differ from those submitted as bench-mark numbers by 1 or 2 feet. This method of numbering bench marks, rather than any attempt at serial numbering, has
MAINE. 7

been adopted where many levelmen are working in a given area at the 

same time as less liable to lead to confusion in identification of bench 

marks and because such bench-mark number also affords 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 Geological Survey in 

order to obtain the accepted elevation to hundredths or thousandths 

of a foot. Bench marks established under cooperation are stamped 

with the state name.

For a complete list of standard bench marks in any quadrangle 

refer to both precise and primary lists. Descriptions of bench marks 

in adjoining States, but within the border quadrangles herein listed, 

are not given in this bulletin.

Any person finding bench marks in the folfowing lists mutilated or. 

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

Geological Survey, Washington, D. C.

MAINE.

PRECISE LEVELING.

Bath, Freeport, Gray, Zezar Falls, Portland, and Sebago quadrangles. 

CUMBERLAND AND OXFORD COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list are the result of two lines of 

precise levels run in 1906: One line from Portland, northeast along 

the Maine Central Railroad, to Brunswick (where it joins the doublerodded-primary line of the water-resources branch from Augusta), 

and thence up the Androscoggin River; the other line from Portland, 

northwest along the Maine Central Railroad, to Cornish, and thence 

west along highways through the southern part of Kezar Falls quadrangle to the New Hamsphire state line. Both lines are based on a 

bench mark established by the United States Engineer Corps in 1901 

from previous ones set by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, now 

destroyed, the heights of which .were determined from tidal records 

made in 1852-53 and in 1864-1866. The bench mark is the bottom 

of a £-inch drill hole one-eighth inch. deep on upper surface of 

water table-between columns at right of the Commercial street 

entrance to the custom-house building. Its elevation is 14.069 

feet above mean sea level and the mean range of tide at Portland as 

corrected in 1896 is 8.824 feet. The methods, instrument, and limit 

of error were practically those now used by the Coast and Geodetic 

Survey, except that the rods were 3.5 yards long, graduated to yards 

and hundredths with incased thermometers.

The lines are leveled independently in both forward and backward 

directions, broken by temporary bench marks into sections 0.5 mile 

to 1.25 miles long. On all sections upon which the backward and
8 SPIRIT LEVELING. 1896 TO 190.9.

forward measures differed in feet more than 0.017 times the square 

root of the distance between bench marks in miles, the line was rerun 

until a pair in opposite directions came within limits. All corrections 

necessary to obtain accurate results were made.

The leveling was done by N. A. Campbell, chief of the patty.

PRIMARY LEVELING.

Anson, Augusta, Bingham, Brassua Lake, Moosehead Lake, Norridgewock, Skowhegan, The Forks, Vassalboro, and Waterville quadrangles.

KENNEBEC, SOMERSET, AND PISCATAQUIS COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list are based on tidal records of 

the Coast and Geodetic Survey at Portland. The work was previously based on Augusta datum from tidal records of the Coast 

and Geodetic Survey at Hallowell; but the results of a double-
10 SPIRIT LEVELING, 1896 TO 1909.

rodded line run in 1905 by the water-resources branch of the United 

States Geological Survey from Augusta to Brunswick, checking upon 

the Coast and Geodetic Survey gage bench marks at Abagadassett 

Point and Pleasant Point with a connection also at Moosehead 

from Penobscot River levels, showed considerable error. A line of 

precise levels was therefore run from Portland (where a more reliable sea-level value could be obtained) to Brunswick, from which 

was derived a correction of 2.651 feet to be added to the original 

unpublished values of the water-resources branch and 2.593 to be 

added to the original unpublished elevations of the bench marks on 

Augusta datum from Augusta to Moosehead. The closures upon 

Coast and Geodetic Survey gage bench marks by the water-resources 

branch line corrected to Portland datum are as follows: At Point 

Pleasant, +1.11 feet; .at Abagadassett Point, +0.41 feet; at Hallowell bench mark 2, +2.6.51 feet; at Augusta, +4.608 feet.

A small discrepancy with levels brought by the topographic 

branch from Bangor up the Penobscot River, in 1904, to Norcross 

and thence by wye and water levels in the four succeeding years 

by the water-resources branch to Moosehead, has been adjusted into 

leveling of the water-resources branch.

The leveling was done in 1903 and 1904 by F. J. McMaugh.

PENOBSCOT COUNTY.

The elevations along Penobscot River in the following list are 

based on an aluminum tablet in the post-office and custom-house 

building at Bangor, stamped "23 BANGOR 1899." The elevation of this bench mark is accepted as 23.725 feet above mean sea 

level. A double-rodded line was run, beginning at a bench mark 

at Old town, reported in another list (p. 22) republished from. Bulletin 185. From Millinocket, water and spirit levels were extended 

by the Great Northern Paper Company and the water-resources 

branch of the United States Geological Survey to Moosehead, where 

a junction was made with the Kennebec levels. The extended elevations were found to be in such close agreement with the Kennebec 

levels, as corrected in 1906 to reliable mean sea-level datum at Portland, that no adjustment has been made in determining the elevations of this list.

The leveling was done in 1904 by F. J. McMaugh.

COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list of bench marks established by 

the water-resources branch of the United States Geological Survey 

under the general direction of H. K. Barrows., district engineer, were 

determined by a double-rodded primary-level line extended -from 

Augusta along the Maine Central Railroad to Brunswick; thence up 

Androscoggin River along railroad and highways to Errol, N. H. 

The New Hampshire elevations are not included in this list. The 

leveling was begun at a gage bench mark at Hallowell, Me., the stated 

elevation of which proved later to be unreliable. The elevations 

now given are based on mean sea level determined by'gage record at
SPIRIT LEVELING, 1896 TO 1909.

Portland, and accord with elevations determined by precise leveling 

of the topographic branch of the Geological Survey, from-Portland 

to Brunswick, as given in another list (pp. 8-9). At Turner Bridge, 

39.7 miles from Brunswick, a 1-foot error was discovered by certain 

checked relevelings, and the remainder of the line was corrected by 

that amount; but there yet remains an outstanding discrepancy of 

2.3 feet between this line and levels of the topographic branch at 

Bethel, an error that may be located by future work.

In running the base levels of 1905, from Hallo well via Brunswick 

to Livermore Falls, H. S. Boardman was chief of party. In running 

the base .levels of 1906, from Livermore Falls to Errol, N. H., 

C. Ko.bert Adams and T. W. Norcross were chiefs of party.

Primary leveling by the water-resources branch extended from Augusta.

30 SPIRIT LEVELING, 1896 TO 1909.

Several unnamed quadrangles.

PENOBSCOT, PISCATAQUIS, AND SOMERSET COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list of bench marks established by 

the water-resources branch of the United States Geological Survey, 

under the general direction of H. K. Barrows, district engineer, were 

determined from double-rodded primary-level lines run with a 20-inch 

Gurley wye level and two Philadelphia rods. These elevations result 

from a preliminary adjustment, under which the elevations at Medway and Moosehead, determined by the primary-level lines of the 

topographic branch extended from Bangor and Portland were accepted 

without correction. A new adjustment will not be made unless shown 

to be advisable when additional primary connections have been made 

between Penobscot and Kennebec rivers.

In running the base levels of 1905 from Chesuncook to Northeast 

Carry and from Moosehead west to Jackman, George M. Brett was 

chief of party. In running the base levels of 1906 on West Branch 

Penobscot River, from Chesuncook Lake southeast to Norcross, and 

the base levels of 1907 from Allagash Lake to Grand Lake dam 

H. S. Boardman was chief of party. In running the base levels of 

1908 from Grand Lake dam southeast down East Branch Penobscot River to Medway H. S. Boardman was chief of party and A. L. 

Grover was instrument man.

primary levels from a tidal bench mark near Portsmouth, N. H. At 

White River Junction the elevation of the tablet in the wall of the 

Catholic Church by precise line from Portland, Me., was 367.777 feet, 

and by double-primary line from Portsmouth, N. H., 367.022 feet, 

the weighted mean value adopted being 367.527 feet. The error, 

0.250 foot, was distributed over the New Hampshire-Vermont portion.

quadrangles.

CHESHIRE, GRAFTON, HILLSBORO, MERRIMAC, ROCKINGHAM, AND SULLIVAN COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list are based on the gage bench 

mark at Portsmouth Harbor of the United States Engineer Corps, 

and of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, consisting of a copper bolt in 

solid rock 6 feet from wall of old Fort Constitution, opposite cross cut 

in wall, 3 feet above ground, 127 feet from a wall at right angles to 

main wall of old fort, 47.9 feet from gate in main wall. The elevation of this bench mark is accepted as 10.17 feet, as determined by 

the Coast and Geodetic Survey from 143 readings, each of high and 

low water, taken between September 11 and November 24, 1898. 

From this point a double-rodded primary-level line was run over the 

Boston and Maine Railroad, via Manchester, Concord, and Claremont 

Junction, to White River Junction, Vt., where it connects with the 

precise-level line from Portland, Me. Of the total closure error of 

0.755 foot, 0.5 foot has been corrected by adjustment between Portsmouth and White River Junction. For additional elevations on 

Hanover and Claremont quadrangles see Vermont list (p. 46).

The leveling was done as follows: In Peterboro quadrangle, by W. 

R. Harper in 1897; in Dover, Manchester, Nottingham, Suncook, 

and York quadrangles by F. M. Goodhue in 1903; in Concord, Milford, Mount Kearsarge, Sunapee, and Suncook quadrangles by A. T. 

Paine in 1904; and in Claremont, Hanover, and Mascony Lake quadrangles by W. A. Anderson in 1905.

COOS COUNTV.

The'elevations in the following list-of bench marks established by 

the water-resources branch of the United States Geological Survey in 

1906 under the general direction of H. K. Barrows, district engineer, 

were determined by a double-roddecl line extended from Augusta, 

Me., to Brunswick, Me., and thence up the Androscoggin River to 

Errol, N. H., and are based on mean sea-level determined by a gage 

bench mark at Portland, Me. For a more detailed description of this 

line see Maine list (p. 7).

The leveling was done in 1906 by C. Robert Adams and T. W.

WMtefield quadrangle.

ESSEX COUNTY.

The elevation given below is 'based on a bronze tablet set in the

the public square, and marked "W952," which in turn is based on 

the top of rail in front of center of Boston and Maine Railroad station, 

Whitefield, 948 feet. Accordingly the height of the bronze tablet is 

accepted as 952.419 feet.

The leveling was done by Walter R. Harper in 1897.

Burlington, Brandon, Camels Hump, Middlebury, Milton, Potato Hill, and Ticonderoga quadrangles.

ADDISON, CRITTENDEN, AND RUTLAND COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list are based on the 1903 adjusted 

elevations of bench marks at Ticonderoga and Rouse Point, N. Y., 

established by the Coast and Geodetic Survey in 1882 and recovered 

by leveling done under the Deep Waterways Board in 1898 and 1899. 

The bench mark at Ticonderoga is the bottom of a hole in chiseled 

circle at southeast corner of north stone abutment of Delaware and 

Hudson bridge No. 19 over Ticonderoga Creek, and its accepted 

elevation by the 1903 adjustment is 109.368 feet above mean sea 

level. The bench mark at Rouse Point is on the water table, north 

side of Chapman Block, 20.6 feet west of the northeast corner, and 

consists of a cross and circle, the elevation of which is now accepted 

as 107.95 feet above mean sea level.

A series of simultaneous gage comparisons was made for seventeen days June 14-30, 1904 by A. D. Butterfield and H. K. Barrows, of the University of Vermont, between Fort Montgomery, N. Y., 

and Burlington, Vt., and the elevation thus obtained at Burlington was about 0.3 foot less than that brought from Ticonderoga 

through primary circuits. The elevations herein given for Burlington 

quadrangle are based directly on the gage determination, and the 

error is adjusted in leveling in Ticonderoga and Middlebury quadrangles.

The leveling was done as follows: In Bjandon and Ticonderoga 

quadrangles by George Bailey in 1902; in Middlebury quadrangle 

by F. M. Goodhue and A. T. Paine in 1903; and in Burlington 

quadrangle by A. T. Paine in 1904.

BENNINGTON COUNTY.

The elevations in the following list, reprinted from Appendix to 

Eighteenth Annual Report, are based on a bronze tablet set in the 

water table at front door of the county court-house in Bennington, 

marked "U. S. Geological Survey; elevation 682 feet; B. M." The 

elevation of this bench mark above mean sea level is based on the top 

of rail of the Rutland Railroad in front of the railroad station at 

South Shaftsbury, the height of which is accepted as 720 feet, as 

brought by careful spirit levels from the Delaware and Hudson Railroad at Lake Champlain and adjusted thence through from sea level. 

In accordance with this height, the elevation of the central datum, 

the bronze tablet in Bennington, is accepted as 681.611 feet.

The leveling was done by E. L. McNair and A. B. Pomme in 1896.
