RESULTS OF SPIRIT LEVELING IN WEST VIRGINIA,

1909 AND 1910.

K. B. MARSHALL, Chief Geographer.

INTRODUCTION.

Corrections. The following results of spirit leveling are supplemental to and accord with the elevations contained in Bulletin 399 

and are in agreement with the 1903 adjustment of precise leveling. 

Corrections to Bulletin 399 should be noted as follows:

Page 13, Williameport, the bench mark described has been destroyed. A new 

bench mark established by the Cumberland Valley Railroad Co. in the top of the 

south heading of the new culvert has an elevation of 363.094 feet.

Page 17, Newburg, the bench mark described has been destroyed. A new one has 

been established, the description of which is the same as that of the old bench mark 

except that the tablet is of aluminum and has been set about 75 feet across a creek. 

Its elevation is 1.230.017 feet.

Pages 59 and 60, elevations in Gilbert 15' quadarangle have been corrected by 

leveling in 1909 and 1910. The new values are given in this publication, pages 17-20.

Page 60, name of Oceana special quadrangle has been changed to Pineville quadrangle, and elevations of bench marks 6 and 7 miles, respectively, east of Cyclone, 

have been corrected as given in this publication, page. 30.

Page 64, bench mark at Arvilla has been disturbed and the elevation as given is 

unreliable.

Personnel. The field work of 1909 and 1910 was done under the 

supervision of Frank Sutton, geographer, under the general direction of R. B. Marshall, chief geographer. Credit is given to the different levelmen 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, 

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

5
6 SPIRIT LEVELING IN WEST VIRGINIA, 1909 AND 1910.

forward_and the backward lines in feet is represented by the formula 

0.017-\/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 

represented by 0.05-\/D, 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.

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, PI. 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 or aluminum-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 D, PL 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 State cooperation is indicated by the 

addition of the State name (G, PI. 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 three-sixteenthsinch 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 a. e 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 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 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 observations made by means 

of tidal gauges placed at stations where local conditions, such as long,
INTRODUCTION.

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. %

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 or other Government

organizations are extended.

Topographic maps. Maps of the following quadrangles wholly or 

partly in West Virginia have been published by the United States 

Geological' Survey up to June 1, 1911. They may be obtained, for 5

MERCER AND SUMMERS COUNTIES.

The following elevations make up the West Virginia portion of the 

unadjusted results of a line of precise levels run from Hinton, W. Va., 

south along highways to Glenlyn, Va., thence west along Norfolk & 

Western Railway to Graham, Va., based upon an elevation at Hinton 

determined by precise leveling. The leveling was done by two parties, which joined at a point 2 miles west of Oakvale. Yard rods 

and prism levels were used. The total length of the double line is 

57.8 miles and the total divergence was 0.155 foot. For the elevations at Glenlyn and Graham, Va., see the Virginia list.

The leveling was done in 1909, in the Packs Ferry and Peterstown 

15' quadrangles by C. H. Semper, and in the Ingleside quadrangle 

by T. A. Green.

precise level net. For additional elevations in West Virginia in the 

Princeton and Pocahontas quadrangles refer to the precise-level list, 

Hinton, W. Va., to Graham, Va. (pp. 8-10).

Most of the leveling was done in 1909, in the laeger and Welch 

quadrangles by T. A. Green and C. H. Semper; in the Pocahontas 

special quadrangle by Green, Semper, and S. E. Taylor; and in the 

Ingleside quadrangle by Semper. Additional leveling in the laeger

The following descriptions and elevations are extracted from 

reports of the Coast and Geodetic Survey and are here ropublished by 

permission of the Superintendent of that bureau. The bench marks 

were established by the Coast and Geodetic Survey and by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co., and were included in the 1907 adjustment 

by the'Coast and Geodetic Survey. The elevations are not likely to 

be changed by any future adjustment.

For convenient reference, as results in Bulletin 399 are based on 

the 1903 adjustment, the elevations of bench marks established previous to 1903 are given by both the 1903 and 1907 adjustments, in 

order to show the relative values by the two adjustments.
