SAN FRANCISCO'S HILLS.
An Exact Typographical Map of the
Peninsula at Berkeley.

Over at Berkeley they have been work.
ing for the last five months on a contour
map of the San Francisco peninsula. The
map is to graphically depict the mineral
ogical and geological pecularities of the
country.
The molding of San Franchises hills
has just been completed. The map in its
entirety will embrace all the Bay ra nges.
1t will extend south into San Mated
County and will include the county pa elk
of Berkeley nearly to Mount Diaolo. A
prominent feature OF the map will be
Tamalpais.
The work is made on scale of two
inches to the mile horizontally. Vertically
the scale will be slightly exaggerated and a
mile will be represented by four inches.
Inc work Is most exact. Every variation
In the surface of major part of hun
dTed feet will be produced. Then the sur
lace Will be so painted that the observer
can tell the geological and meteorological
pecnliarities of any part OF the peninsula.
Professor Davidson of the Geodetic Sur
vey supplies the data for constructing the
contours properly. The geological data is
being gathered now by Willard ID. john
son ana his assistant. Mr.. Palache. The
work Of making the map bias been in the
hands of Professor A. G. Lawson of the
cbhto university, JOHn 81. w DlIdUlS ana
Richard P. Bigelow. The method o f ma k
ing the map requires Infinite care. The
Grodetic Survey furnishes maps on which
different attitudes are designated by diff
ferenily shaped lines.
In the beginning map is pasted on the
| foundation. This makes the water-liue.
| Then another map is pasted on wood
about one-thirteenth of an inch thick, and
that country which the lines show has
an altitude of 100 feet or over is cut out
with jig saw The pieces thus cut out
are fastened on the map. Another piece
on top of this adds another 100 feet. In
this way the map is built up.
The different attitudes rise abruptly by
the hundred feet. Mr.. Bigelow. the mod
eler, then clothes with putty the skeleton
made by his associates. This last work
requires great nicely, and the worker must
exercise constant vigilance to see that he
does not cover up as complete hill that
should be fraction OF an inch taller.
The finished map is then used as model
from which a plaster Of paris mold is
taken. 1t will then he reproduced many
times and copies distributed among differ
eDt universities and colleges.
