TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEYS.
Crew is at Work Upon the Buckfield
Sheet-New Work.

The topographer in charge has a
small crew at work upon the Buck
| field sheet at the present time. Last
year the topographic branch of the
United States geological survey in CO.
operation with the State mapped the
Livermore sheet and the southern half
of what is called the Buckfeld sheet
The topographer in charge has been
in the field for the past 10 days work
ing on the northern half of the Buck
field sheet and it is expected that will
be completed by the middle of July
As result of the conference re-
Gently held between the State Water
Storage Commission and the officers of
the United States geological survey
two large topographic parties, includ-
ing triang ulation men, level men and
plain table men, will take the field
July and will proceed with the work
on the Bryants Pond sheet. which will
be completed this year and the Bethel
sheet which will be finished in part
only.
The tier of topographic triangles
Will. upon the completion of this latter
sheet next year. extend due west from
Augusta to the boundary line of Maine
and there will join with what is called
the Gorham sheet in New Hampshire.
extending still further westward
through the Mt. Washington district
to the Connecticut river.
The Androscoggin river will. upon
the completion of this work in the
State of Maine. be completely mapped
by the United States Geological sur
ivey. The sheets mentioned above will
be of great use in investigating the
water supply privileges both for NUM-
eipai purposes and water powers in
the towns Immediately south of the
| Androscoggin river. Maps will also
be found very useful in plans for road
improvement work in that district.
