INTRODUCTION.

Scope of the work. All results of spirit leveling in New Mexico

by the United States Geological Survey are included in this report, 

arranged by quadrangles. All elevations are based on preliminary 

heights of bench marks along the precise-level line of the Coast and 

Geodetic Survey from San Diego,- Cal., via Mellen and Flagstaff, 

Ariz., to Albuquerque, N. Mex., and on the precise line of the United 

States Geological Survey from the Arizona-New Mexico boundary 

line via Rincon and Albuquerque to Cuba, N. Mex.

Personnel. The field work from 1902 to 1906, inclusive, was done 

under E. M. Douglas, geographer, and the later work under E. C. 

Barnard, geographer, under the general direction of R. B. Marshall, 

chief geographer. The nanies 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-level lines instruments and rods of the highest grade are used; 

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

is taken to guard against error. The allowable divergence-between 

the forward and the backward lines in feet is represented by the 

formula 0.01TVD, 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 represented by 0.05 VD, in which D is the length of the 

circuit in miles, sufficient care being given to 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 NEW MEXICO, 1902 TO 1909.

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^ inches in diameter and one-quarter 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, PL.I), used where masonry 

or rock is not available, consists of a hollow wrought-iron post 3^ 

inches in outer diameter and 4 feet in length. The bottom is spread 

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

earth. A bronze cap is riveted over the top of the post, which is 

set about 3 feet in the ground. 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 seven-eighths 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 (#, PL I).

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 yVinch 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 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 United States Geological Survey elevatiqns are referred to mean sea level, which is the level that the sea would assume 

if the influence of tides and winds 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 tJie tide 

"being considered. It is determined from 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 level as 

determined from observations in the Atlantic Ocean, the 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 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 preciselevel lines of the United States Geological Survey or other Government organizations are extended.

Topographic maps. Maps of the following quadrangles wholly or 

partly in New Mexico have been published by the United States 

Geological Survey up to May 1, 1911. They may be obtained,

The following are the results for the New Mexico portion of a precise level line run in 1905 by M. S. Bright along the Atchison, Topeka 

& Santa Fe Railway from Albuquerque, N. Mex., south to El Paso, 

Tex. The elevations are in accord with the height of a bench mark 

at Rincon determined by precise leveling from Yuma, and adjusted to 

the preliminary heights of bench marks near Albuquerque determined 

by the precise level line of the Coast and Geodetic Survey in 1909. By 

applying the orthometric correction to the elevations between Rincon 

and Albuquerque, a close agreement was obtained with the Coast and 

Geodetic Survey preliminary elevations near Albuquerque.

The elevations in the following list were originally based on an 

aluminum tablet marked " 1090 " in the north front of the Maricopa 

County courthouse at Phoenix, Ariz., and the permanent bench 

marks are therefore stamped " PHNX". Recent leveling by the 

United States Geological Survey and preliminary elevations by the 

Coast and Geodetic Survey have enabled a connection "to be made 

with mean sea datum at San Diego, CaL, and the elevations listed 

herein have been reduced to that datum by subtracting 1 foot from 

the previous values.

The leveling was done in 1902 and 1903 by Chester Irvine. .

The elevations in the following list were determined by primary 

leveling extended from El Paso, Tex., based on an elevation determined by precise leveling. The elevations on line from a point 

near Newman ranch to Anthony, in the Orogrande and Las Cruces 

quadrangles, part of a closed circuit, are adjusted. The line along 

the El Paso & Southwestern Eailroad to Alamogordo and along high-

way 10 miles east of Alamogordo in the Alamogordo, Orogrande, and 

Gypsum Hills quadrangles is a single unchecked line. A circuit was 

extended from the latter point to Pinon, but on account of an excessive closure error it has not been adjusted. Additional elevations in 

the Las Cruces quadrangle are given in a list for precise leveling.

The leveling in the Orogrande and Las Cruces quadrangles was 

done in 1907 by Fred McLaughlin, and that in the Alamagordo,

by A. R. Carver in 1906, and by F. A. Nussle in 19.07.

BIO ABBIBA AND SAN JUAN COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list are based on an elevation at 

Cuba determined by precise leveling from Yuma, checked by and 

adjusted to preliminary heights of bench marks near Albuquerque 

determined by precise leveling of the Coast and Geodetic Survey 

in 1909-10, through primary levels in the Gallina quadrangle. Several yard errors occurred during the progress of this work, most of 

which have been rectified upon final computation and by the rerunning of certain portions by Nussle, but there still remains an uncertainty of 3 feet in the elevations given in part of this list, which can 

not be corrected unless further field work is done.

Most of the leveling was done in 1906 by A. K. Carver. A part 

of that in the Monero and Dulce quadrangles was done in 1907 by 

Fred A. Nussle.
