RESULTS OF SPIRIT LEVELING IN NEVADA, 1897 TO

1909, INCLUSIVE.

R. B. MARSHALL, Chief Geographer.

INTRODUCTION.

Scope of the work. All results of spirit leveling in Nevada previously published by the United States Geological Survey and all the 

results of later work are included in this report, rearranged by 

quadrangles. The elevations are based on preliminary heights of 

bench marks along the precise level line of the Coast and Geodetic 

Survey from San Diego via Barstow and Goffs, Cal. ; to Ogden, 

Utah, and-on the precise line of the United States Geological Survey 

from Mohave, Cal., to Lida, Nev.

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

general direction of R. U. Goode, geographer; that for 1903 to 1906, 

inclusive, under E. M. Douglas, geographer; that for 1907 under 

R.-B. Marshall, geographer; and the later work under T. G. Gerdine, 

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

geographer. The names of the various levelnien 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 

0.017 YD, 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 (0 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, of 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 

widtli 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, 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 where States have cooperated in the work the fact of such 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 -^-inch 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 identifications 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 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.

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 Nevada have been published by the United States 

Geological Survey up to July 1, 1911. Maps now in stock may be 

obtained for 5 cents each or S3 a hundred on application to the

The elevations in tue following list are a portion of the results 

of a spur line of precise levels run in the spring of 1905 by R. A. 

Farmer, and extend from the State line near Oasis east to Lida. For 

the results obtained in the continuation of this line, see Bulletin 342, 

"Results of Spirit Leveling in California."

The initial bench mark is an iron post stamped "2732 B," 0.4 

mile south of Mohave and 25 feet north of milepost 382, the elevation of which is now accepted as 2,733.451 feet above mean sea 

level.

PRIMARY LEVELING.

Furnace Creek, Kawich, Las Vegas, and Lida 1°, Silver Peak and White Mountain

30X Quadrangles.

ESMEKALDA, LINCOLN, AND NYE COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list are based upon an elevation 

at Lida determined by precise leveling of the United States Geological 

Survey from Mohave, upon an elevation at Las Vegas deterimined 

in 1907 by the Coast and Geodetic Survey by precise' leveling of 

1906-7 from San Diego, Cal., and upon primary prism level lines in 

California from same sources.

The leveling in part of the Lida quadrangle and in the White 

Mountain quadrangle was done in 1897-98 by C. R. Smith and is 

republished from the appendix to the -Nineteenth Annual Report 

of the Survey. These results, which were originally based on 

railroad datum, have been reduced 74.8 feet. Additional leveling 

was done in the Lida quadrangle in 1905 and 1907 by Homer Hadley 

and L. F. Biggs, respectively. The leveling in the Furnace Creek 

quadrangle was done by Ress Philips in 1905 and by Biggs in 1907, 

and that in the Kawich quadrangle by Philips in the" same year. The 

leveling in the Las Vegas quadrangle was donelby .Biggs in 1907.

The elevations in the following list are based upon a bench mark

given in Bulletin 342, this correction being determined by leveling 

through Hawthorne, Nev., from Mohave, Cal. Allowance has been 

made for orthometric correction from Mohave, and a small correction has been applied at Mohave.

The leveling was done by C. M. Weston in 1909.

The elevations in the following list are based upon a bench mark 

established at Lida by precise leveling, connection with which was 

obtained through primary leveling in the Lida, Silver Peak, and 

Tonopah quadrangles.

The leveling was done in 1907 and 1908 by T. A, Green, with the

exception of that near Candelaria in the Hawthorne quadrangle, 

which was done in 1897 by C. R. Smith. The leveling by Smith was 

based on railroad datum; the bench marks are stamped 75 feet too
