RESULTS OF SPIRIT LEVELING IN ARKANSAS, LOUISIANA, AND MISSISSIPPI, 1896 TO 1909, INCLUSIVE.

R. B. MARSHALL, Chief Geographer.

INTRODUCTION.

Scope of the work. 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, rearranged by. quadrangles. 

All elevations are based on the precise-level net as adjusted in 1907 

by the Coast and Geodetic Survey to a commonjmean sea-level datum.

The net of precise-level lines, beside the lines of the United States 

Geological Survey described in this bulletin, which lie within or 

along the borders of these States, comprises the line of the Coast and 

Geodetic Survey from Arkansas City via Van Buren to Garfield, 

Ark., and from Greenville, Miss., to Vicksburg, Miss.; also lines of the 

Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army, along Mississippi River and in 

southern Arkansas and northern Louisiana.

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

general direction of J. H. Renshawe, geographer; that for 1903 to 

1906, inclusive, under H. M. Wilson, geographer; and the later work 

in Arkansas under W. H. Herron, geographer, and in Louisiana 

and Mississippi under Frank Sutton, geographer, both 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 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 0.017 ^/D, in which D is the 

distance between bench marks in miles. 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 D is 

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.

Bench, marks. The standard bench marks are. of two. forms. The 

first form is a circular bronze or aluminum tablet (G 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, bridge abutment, or other substantial masonry 

structure. The second form (F, PI. I), to be set in the ground where 

no masonry or rock is available, consists of a hollow wrought-iron 

post 3£ 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 D, 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 for cooperating States the fact of such cooperation is indicated by the addition 

of the State name (at G, PL.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 TVincn 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 their adjusted values, using the 

markings as identification numbers only.

Datum. All 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 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 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 great accuracy is desired 

they must extend over several years. At ocean stations the halftide 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, the Gulf of Mexico, or the 

Pacific Ocean.
INTRODUCTION.

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 United States Geological Survey or other 

Government organizations are extended.

Topographic maps. Maps of the following quadrangles wholly or 

partly in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi have been published 

by the United States Geological Survey up to May 1, 1911. They 

may be obtained for 5 cents-each or S3 a hundred on application to

COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list were determined by primary 

leveling extended from the precise-level line of the Coast and Geodetic Survey along the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad, which 

crosses the Fayetteville, Eureka Springs, and Winslow quadrangles.

The leveling was done in the Eureka Springs quadrangle in 1900 

by J. A. Boyd, G. E. Diehl, J. E. Smith, and C. C. 'Curry, and. in 1902 

by Boyd and D. V. Van diver; in the Fayetteville and Siloam Springs 

quadrangles in 1899 by Clifford Older; in the Harrison quadrangle 

in 1902 by Vandiver; and in the Winslow quadrangle in 1898 by 

Robert Coe.

Arkadelphia, Benton, Caddo Gap, Camden, Gurdon, Hope, Hot Springs special, Little 

Bock, and Malvern quadrangles.

CALHOUN, CLAttK, DALLAS, GARLAND, HEMPSTBAD, HOT SPRINGS, HOWARD, MONTGOMERY, NEVADA, OUACHITA, PIKE, POLK, PULASKI, AND SALINE COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list were determined by primary 

leveling extended from Little Rock. A double-rodded line of levels 

was run in 1896 from Little Rock along the St. Louis, Iron Mountain 

& Southern Railway .to Hot Springs and continued in 1899 along 

the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway and the St. Louis, Iron 

Mountain & Southern Railway to Gurdon, connecting in 1900 with 

Camden by primary circuits. At Little Rock and Camden the work 

is adjusted to elevations for bench marks of the United States Army 

engineers' precise-level line. No intermediate connections were 

made.

The leveling from Little Rock to Hot Springs and in the Hot 

Springs special quadrangle was done in 1896 by H. L. Muldrow, and 

that along the railroads to Gurdon, Hope, and Buena Vista by 

Robert Coe in 1899-1900. The remaining work in the Gurdon quadrangle was done in-1899-1900 by D. C. Wray, and in the Camden 

quadrangle in 1900 by Guy E. Diehl. The leveling in the Caddo Gap 

quadrangle was partly done in 1901 by E. L. Shepard and J. A. 

Boyd, and was completed in 1902-03 by C. H. Birdseye. The leveling 

for the Hot Springs special and the Gurdon quadrangles has been 

copied with corrections from the Eighteenth and Twenty-first .Annual 

Reports of the United States Geological Survey, respectively.

ACADIA, CALCASIEU, IBERIA, LAFAYETTE, AND ST. MARY PARISHES.

The following are the unadjusted results of a spur line of precise 

levels from Weeks Island east along the Cypremort branch of the 

Southern Pacific Railroad to Baldwin, thence along the main line of 

the Southern Pacific Railroad northwest to Lafayette, thence west 

to Jennings, a total distance of about 100 miles. The work was done 

in cooperation with the Louisiana Geological Survey, Prof. G. D. 

Harris, State geologist, in charge. Prof. Harris established an automatic tide gage and several bench marks, descriptions of which are 

included, on Weeks Island in February, 1905. The line starts from 

bench mark No. 1 (upper), one of those established by Prof. Harris. 

This bench mark is the rounded top of a brass plug protruding through 

the cap on an iron post set about 250 yards west of the terminus of 

the railroad at the Weeks Island salt mine, and about 0.8 mile east 

from the tide gage. The elevation as determined by the Coast and 

Geodetic Survey in 1905 and 1906 is 19.42 feet above mean sea level.

The leveling was done in 1906 by E. L. McNair.

2 This tide station was established by Prof. G. D. Harris at the expense of the Louisiana Geological 

Survey, but the gage was set and records made by and at the expense of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. 

The elevation given was determined from the automatic record for the years 1905 and 1906. The tide at 

Weeks, La., is diurnal, or has one high water .and one low water in each day, about half the time.

Cormorant, Lambert, Prichard, Sledge, Tibbs, Tutwiler, and Vance 7£' quadrangles names not given in list).

DESOTO, PANOLA, QUITMAN, TALLAHATCHIE, TATE, AND TUNICA COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list are a portion of those determined by a spur line of precise levels run from Memphis, Tenn., to 

Tutwiler, Miss. A prism level and yard rods were used, and the line was 

leveled in both forward and backward directions, broken by bench 

marks into sections about 1 mile long, the closure error in feet of 

which was limited to 0.017VD (D being the distance between bench 

marks in miles). At Tutwiler, checked primary levels of the Tallahatchie Drainage Commission extended from bench marks at Mattson and Greenwood, Miss., on precise-level lines of the United States 

Corps of Enginers, corrected to this datum, closed plus 0.212 and plus 

0.082 feet, respectively, prior to their adjustment.

The.leveling was done in 1908, in the Tunica 30' quadrangle by 

W. H. Monahan and in the Tutwiler 30' quadrangle by Monahan and 

C. J. Harrison. A few standard iron posts and concrete monuments, 

descriptions of which are included in this list, were established by 

L. W. Mashburn, under the direction of A. L. Dabney, assistant chief 

engineer, Tallahatchie Drainage Commission.
