SURVEY OF OYSTER BARS, ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, MD. 
 
 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 PUBLICATIONS. 
 
 The preparation of publications relating to the survey of the natural oyster bars 
 of Maryland has been divided between the Government and the State in accordance 
 with the laws authorizing the work and the natural division of the surveying operations 
 of the cooperating forces. 
 
 The part prepared under the direction of the Superintendent of the Coast and 
 Geodetic Survey consists of this publication and a series of large-scale charts. The 
 charts show all legal boundaries of natural oy.ster bars within the waters opened up for 
 leasing with Anne Arundel County and the location of all landmarks (Coast and 
 Geodetic Survey triangulation stations) used in connection with the delineation of 
 these boundaries. This publication gives a technical description of the oyster-bar 
 boundaries and landmarks shown on the charts, and includes the report of the represent- 
 ative of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. 
 
 The part to be publi.shed by the ShfeU Fish Commission will include a report of 
 the work executed by the commission under the provisions of the oyster-culture laws 
 of Maryland, descriptions of oyster investigations and the delimitation of oyster bars, 
 and other important legal and scientific information. 
 
 COOPERATION OF THE CO.^ST .\ND GEODETIC SURVEY. 
 
 The work of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, as the name of the service indicates, 
 includes a .survey of the coasts of the United States made on a geodetic basis. This 
 has involved the gradual construction of a great framework of interstate triangulation 
 for use as a foundation for detail hydrographic and topographic surveys, from which 
 there has been compiled and published a complete set of charts of the coasts of the 
 United States, including all waters of Maryland where oy.sters grow. This existing 
 triangulation, hydrography, and topography is essential for a correct and practical 
 survey of natural oyster bars; and it being one of the fundamental functions of the 
 Coast and Geodetic Survey to furnish such data for all surveying, charting, and 
 other allied purposes within the area of the operations of the service, the cooperation 
 of the Coast and Geodetic Survey with the Maryland Shell Fish Commission is a 
 practical and useful development^of Government work.

 CHARTS AND MAPS. 
 
 CHARTS OF NATURAL OYSTER BARS. 
 
 The charts" of the natural o_vster bans of "Anne Arundel County and Adjacent 
 Waters," published by the Coast and Geodetic Survey from results of surveys of the 
 Government in cooperation with the Maryland Shell Fish Commission, consist of a 
 series of four sheets, covering the west shore of Chesapeake Bay from Fort Carroll to 
 Holland Point. They are published on the scale of i part in 20,000 (approximately 
 3 /finches to a statute mile), and are constructed on polyconic projections and based 
 on the United States standard datum of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. 
 
 These charts show all oyster bar and other boundaries established by the Com- 
 mission, and are certified by them for the purpose of filing in the office of the clerk of 
 the circuit court of Anne Arundel County and in the office of the Commis.sion at 
 Annapohs, as required by the oyster-culture laws of Maryland. 
 
 In addition to the boundaries, the charts show the location and name of all land- 
 marks (U. S. Coast and Geodetic Sur\'ey triangulation stations) used in making the 
 survey, together with the hydrography and topography necessary to make the 
 technical definitions and delineations of boundaries readily uiyierstandable, both by 
 the people engaged in oyster industry and the general public who may become 
 interested through leasing of barren bottoms for oyster culture. 
 
 The names of the oyster bars are tho.se used locally, as nearly as could be ascer- 
 tained by the hydrographic engineer of the Commission, and are not designated by 
 numbers, as might suggest itself on fir.st thought as being the best method when the 
 great number of oyster bars in the whole State are considered. By the use of local 
 names, it is believed that much confusion will be avoided in the location of oyster bars, 
 especially hy tho.se not familiar with charts. 
 
 The corners of the o^-ster bars are numbered from i to the total number of corners 
 in each bar under consideration. Where bars adjoni, making one point a corner of two 
 or more bars, these points have two or more numbers, each corresponding to the bar in 
 which the figure is located. The numbers of the corners correspond with the technical 
 and legal descriptions given in this publication under the heading ' ' Boundaries of 
 natural oyster bars. ' ' 
 
 The natural oyster bars and landmarks have been grouped in the contents of this 
 publication in accordance with the charts upon which they are .shown. To find a par- 
 ticular oy.ster bar or landmark which is only known by name, consult the "Contents," 
 and the desired chart and general location will be indicated. To find the name of a bar 
 or landmark which is only known by location, consult the progress map at the end of 
 this publication for the number of the chart on which it is to be found, and then 
 examine the known locality on the chart for the name of the bar or landmark in 
 question. 
 
 The contours for the depth of water at mean low tide have been taken from the 
 hydrographic sheets of the Coa.st and Geodetic Survey at Washington. Four curves

 were selected as being the most convenient for taking ofi from the original hydrographic 
 sheets and the ones of greatest value to those interested in the oyster industry. The 
 I -fathom contour (6 feet) and the 5-fathom contour (30 feet) practically include 
 all the natural oyster bars surveyed, while the 3-fathom contour (18 feet) furnishes 
 the curve of about the average depth. The lo-fathom contour (60 feet) serves in a 
 general way to indicate the outer limits of probable oyster culture. 
 
 The boundaries of the waters within the territorial limits of the county and the 
 boundaries of waters not within these limits but opened up for the leasing with the 
 county are plainly indicated on the charts. A full technical description of these 
 boundaries is given in this publication under the heading ' ' Boundaries of county 
 waters. ' ' 
 
 The areas in acres of the natural oyster bars were determiued under the direction 
 of the hydrographic engineer of the Commission by two independent planiineter meas- 
 urements made of the area of the bars as delineated on .the smooth projections of the 
 Coast and Geodetic Survey. These areas are given in small figures on the face of the 
 chart within the boundaries of the bars. 
 
 The .'Symbols used on the charts for the different kinds of boundaries, triangulation 
 stations, contours of depth of water, etc., require no other explanation than that given 
 in the notes on the charts. 
 
 PROJECTIONS. 
 
 The polyconic projections, like the charts which are described in the preceding 
 section, were all constructed by draftsmen of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. These 
 draftsmen also plotted the sextant positions on the smooth projections which determine 
 the location of the legal boundaries of the natural oyster bars as delineated bj' the Shell 
 Fish Commission. 
 
 A copy of each of these projections, with all the plotted positions of triangu- 
 lation stations, shore line, sextant positions, and boundaries of oyster bars, was made 
 under the direction of the hydrographic engineer of the commission, by pricking 
 through with a sharp needle the intersections of the projection lines and all other 
 points as plotted on the original sheets. 
 
 These projections (in duplicate) are the original records of all natural 03\ster bar 
 and other boundaries established by the commission. One set of these projections is 
 filed in the archives of the Coast and Geodetic Survey at Washington and the other 
 .set is filed in the office of the Shell Fish Commission at Annapolis.

 BOUNDARIES OF COUNTY WATERS. 
 
 WATERS WITHIN TERRITORIAL LIMITS OF THE COUNTY. 
 
 The laws relating to oyster culture under which the Marjdand Shell Fish Commis- 
 sion is executing its survey, provide that "no person shall be permitted, by lease, 
 assignment, or in any other manner, .to acquire a greater amount of land than ten acres 
 situated within the territorial limits of any of the counties, or one hundred acres in any 
 other place." 
 
 The boundary line" between the waters "within the territorial limits" of Anne 
 Arundel County and the waters in ' ' any other place, ' ' as established by the Shell Fish 
 Commissiou and delineated on the charts and the smooth projections of the Coast and 
 Geodetic Survey, is technically described and defined as follows :

 WATERS CONTIGUOUS TO THE COUNTY. 
 
 The oj'ster-culture laws of Maryland provide that a true and accurate delineation 
 of all natural oy.ster bars shall be made on copies of charts of the United States Coast 
 and Geodetic Survey, " which said copies shall be filed in the office of the said Commis- 
 sioners in the city of Annapolis; " and "in the office of the clerks of the circuit courts 
 for the respective counties wherein the grounds so designated may lie." 
 
 For the purpose of carrying out the latter part of this section of the law, and for 
 the purpo.se of establishing the limits of the oyster-culture area to be opened up for the 
 leasing with Aiuie Arundel County, a boundary line between the waters contiguotis to, 
 but not within the territorial limits of Anne Arundel County and the waters contiguous 
 to, but not within the territorial limits of adjacent counties, has been established by the 
 Shell Fish Commission. This boundary line" has been delineated on the charts of the 
 natural oyster bars published by the Coast and Geodetic Survey and is technically 
 described and defined as follows: 
 
 Commencing at a point defined by the intersection of the center line of Brewerton Channel and a 
 straight line between North Point (Old Tower) and a point defined by latitude 39° 09' 59.3" and 
 longitude 76° 28' 39.7''', situated on Rock Point; thence along the center line of Brewerton Channel and 
 a continuation of the same line to a point defined by latitude 39° 09' I0.6" and longitude 76° 21' 00.0", 
 situated about 3-1 V miles '' east '' of Seven P'oot Knoll Light and 3y^ miles .southeast of Craighill Channel 
 Light (Front Range); thence due south in a straight line to a point defined by latitude 39° 03' 30.0" 
 and longitude 76° 21' 00.0", situated about 2% miles from Baltimore Light, nearly on a straight line 
 between Baltimore Light and Love Point Light; thence in a straight line to a point defined by 
 latitude 39° 00' 57.2" and longitude 76° 21' 34 .0", situated about \{\ miles east of Sandy Point Light; 
 thence in a straight line to a point defined by latitude 38° 53'56.2" andlongitude 76° 24' 32.0", situ- 
 ated about ly'j miles east of Thomas Point Light; thence in a straight line to a point defined by 
 latitude 38° 50' o\.\" and longitude 76° 26' 15.0", situated about 2_'/2 miles west of Bloody Point Bar 
 Light; thence in a straight line to a point defined b}' latitude 38° 42' 33.4" and longitude 76° 27' 40.0",

 vicinity have been delineated accordingly. The law defining the boundaries of the 
 prohibited area is as follows: 
 
 [Code of Maryland, article 72, section 50,] 
 
 Any person dragging, raking, or dredging for oysters within five hundred yards of either edge of 
 the channel at the mouth of the Patapsco River, known as the Craighill Channel, extending from 
 Seven Foot Knoll to the mouth of Magothy River, or within five hundred yards of either edge of the 
 cut-off connecting the Brewerton and Craighill channels, shall forfeit his boat or vessel; and it shall 
 be lawful for any justice of the peace of the county or city in which such person shall be arrested to 
 try such person, and on conviction to condemn said boat or vessel and sell the same on five days' 
 notice, and fine the said offender a sitm of not less than five dollars, nor more than twenty-five dollars, 
 for each and everj' offense; and said justice of the peace shall pay over one-half of said fines and 
 forfeitures to the informer, and the other half to the school board of said county or city. 
 
 LIST OF NATURAL OVSTER BARS WITHIN DREDGING AREA OF COUNTY. 
 
 The natural oyster bars open under the exi,sting laws of Maryland for tongiug or 
 dredging, as the case may be, are not so classed and shown on the published charts, as 
 it is a matter more or less subject to change liy legislation independent of the oyster- 
 culture laws of Maryland. 
 
 However, the Commission in establishing the legal boundaries of the oyster bars 
 have so fixed the limits of certain bars that in every case their boundaries are within or 
 coincident with the boundary line between the tonging and dredging areas. In estab- 
 lishing these boundaries, the Commission have adopted the tonging-dredging limits 
 furnished to them through the courtesy of the Commander of the State Fishery Force. 
 
 Most of the natural oyster bars open for dredging are of large area but few in 
 number, and a complete list of the dredging bars in ' ' Anne Arundel Count}' and 
 Adjacent Waters," is given below to facilitate the search of anyone desiring to locate 
 them on the published charts:

 BOUNDARIES OF NATURAL OYSTER BARS. 
 
 EXPLANATION OF DESCRIPTIONS OF BOUNDARIES. 
 
 The natural oyster bars of Anne Arundel County are 91 in number, and their 
 total area as marked out by buoys placed by the hydrographic engineer of the com- 
 mission is 33,666 acres. As provided by law, the limits of the oyster bars are all 
 straight lines, but they inclose areas of all shapes from triangles to complicated nine- 
 sided figures, and of all sizes from 4 acres in the rivers to 7,548 acres in the bay. 
 
22 SKJ'vey of Oyster Bars, Anne Arundel County, Md. 
 
 The sides vary iu length from 93 to 7,529 yards, and in some cases the corners of the 
 boundaries are practically at the triangulation stations from which they are located, 
 while in other instances they are over 10,000 yards from the landmarks most avail- 
 able for the purposes of fixing their positions. 
 
 The varied characteristics of the legal boundaries of the oyster bars indicated by 
 the above statement, together with the complicated requirements of the law under 
 which the survey has been executed, and ihe magnitude of the work with the con- 
 sequent need of fixed and uniform methods, has made the problem of describing the 
 boundaries, one of considerable difficulty and importance. 
 
 The boundaries of the natural oyster bars of Anne Arundel County, as estab- 
 lished by the Shell Fish Commission and delineated on the Coast and Geodetic Survey 
 charts and projections, are technically defined and described by a method somewhat 
 different from that used in other oyster surveys. But it is believed that the forms 
 finally adopted will fulfill all needs of the survey, and that they can be continued, 
 with slight modifications to the end of the work. 
 
 The descriptions have been arranged in tabular form, thus avoiding many hundred 
 repetitions of the same words by making one explanation of the tables .sufficient for all 
 oyster bars in the county. 
 
 At the top of each tabular form is given the legal name of the natural oyster bar 
 to be described, its general localitv, and the number of the chart on which its legal 
 boundaries are .shown. 
 
 The first column under the heading of ' ' Corner of bar ' ' gives the number corre- 
 .sponding to the corner of the boundary as .shown on the charts and to the number on 
 the buoy marking the actual corner of the bar. The numbers of the corners have been 
 assigned by naming the southernmo.st point No. i , thence proceeding in a clock-wise 
 direction around the bar; but where a corner of one bar is identical with the corner of 
 one or more other bars, only the number of the corner of the oyster bar being described 
 in the table is given in this column. 
 
 The second and third columns under the headings of ' ' Latitude ' ' and ' ' Longitude ' ' 
 give the geographic pcsitions of the corners. These positions have been adopted by 
 the commission as the primary technical definition of the corners, and should be consid- 
 ered as final in case of adi.spute arising from discrepancies caused by other means of loca- 
 tion. The latitudes and longitudes given in these columns are based on the United States 
 .standard datum of the Coa.st and Geodetic Survey, and the points thus defined can be 
 relocated from distant triangulation stations of the Survey, even though all the land- 
 marks and buoys originally used for their location have been destro3'ed by natural 
 causes or by the acts of vandals desiring to defeat the purposes of the oyster-culture law. 
 
 The fourth and fifth columns, under the general heading of ' ' True bearings ' ' " and 
 the specific headings ' ' Forward ' ' and ' ' Back, " give bearings measured from a true north 
 and south line. The three " Forward" bearings are from the corner of the boundary 
 designated in the first column to the triangulation stations named on the corresponding 
 lines in the last column, and the three "Back" bearings are from these same stations 
 in the last column to the corresponding corner of boundarj' in the first column. The 
 
 oThe mean magnetic declination in Anne Arundel County in 1907 was 5° 45' west of north and 
 the annual increase 3'. 
 
Survey of Oyster Bars, Anne Artindel County, Md. 23 
 
 difference iu minutes of arc between the forward and back bearings shown in some cases 
 is actual and not accidental, and is due to the fact that the computations took into 
 account the spheroidal shape of the earth. 
 
 The sixth column under the heading of "Distance" gives the three computed dis- 
 tances in 5'^ards from the corner of the bar noted in the iirst column to the triangulation 
 stations named on the corresponding lines in the last column, and vice versa. 
 
 The seventh and last column, under the heading of " U. S. C. & G. S. Triangulation 
 Station,"" gives the names of the landmarks from which were computed the correspond- 
 ing "I^atitude," "Longitude," "True bearing," and "Distance" of the "Corner of 
 the bar" designated in the first column. A full description of the location and mark- 
 ings of these triangulation stations is given in another part of this publication, under 
 the heading of " Descriptions of landmarks." 
 
 SURVEYING METHODS FOR RELOCATION OF BOUND.\RIES. 
 
 There are a number of methods that can be used in the relocation of the actual 
 boundaries of the natural oj^ster bars as technically described in this publication and 
 delineated on the published charts of the Coa.st and Geodetic Survey. 
 
 The following brief descriptions of five of these more or less different methods 
 assume a certain amount of experience and knowledge on the part of the engineer in 
 the particular kind of surveying under consideration, and are only intended as reminders 
 of ways and means that can be u.sed. 
 
 There are two problems that are likely to present themselves to those interested in 
 the boundaries of natural oy.ster bars. One, to determine whether the buoys marking 
 the corners have been dragged or otherwise moved from their correct positions, and the 
 other, to relocate or reestablish a buoy at the point from which it was removed. The 
 different ways of solving these two problems partly depend upon the instruments 
 possessed by the engineer and his assistants, and partly on his training and experience. 
 
 (i) Triangtdation. — This method is the one that will give the greatest accuracy, 
 but on account of its requiring special data and instruments, and being an operation 
 rarely used by engineers not engaged in geodetic surveying, it is recommended only for 
 cases in dispute that can not be settled satisfactorily by some other method. An 
 explanation of this class of work would be too long for a report of this sort, and those 
 not familiar with this method are referred to the publications on the subject by the 
 Coast and Geodetic Survey. 
 
 (2) Hydrograpliic. — This method is the most simple and satisfactory one that can 
 be adopted if the surveyor can obtain the use of the necessary instruments and assist- 
 ants. -It is the one best suited for the work of the engineers of the Commission in 
 locating corners of boundaries, as it gives results of the accuracy ordinarily required 
 and is rapid in execution. Besides, it has the advantage of being available whenever 
 three triangulation stations of suitable relative positions are visible from the off-shore 
 points needing relocation. 
 
 Most navigators and others familiar with the use of a sextant are well acquainted 
 with the graphic three-point method of fixing a position on water, and only a brief 
 description of the operation will be stated. 
 
 "Geographic positions of these triangulation stations can be obtained by application to the Snper- 
 inleiident of the Coast and Geodetic Survey at Washington. 
 
24 Survey of Oyster Bars, Aiiiic Aniiidcl Comity, Aid. 
 
 lu the case where there is only one engineer havang a single sextant, the three- 
 point method can be used, but not until the two angles determining the position of any 
 buoy have been calculated from the "Forward bearing" given in the tabular forms 
 describing the boundaries of the oyster bars. For example, take ' ' Traces Hollow ' ' bar, 
 described on page — , and assume that ' ' Corner No. 3 " is to be examined as to its 
 position. The angle between the two landmarks ' ' Cool ' ' and ' ' Weems, ' ' as determined 
 Jrom the forward bearings from this corner, is loi ° 02' and the angle between ' ' Weems ' ' 
 and "Field" is 68° 52'. Having these two angles, the engineer proceeds to the buoy 
 of doubtful location and measures the actual sextant angles between the landmarks for 
 which the calculations were made. If the measured and calculated angles do not agree, 
 the buoy is not in its correct position and the boundary corner must be relocated. 
 This is accomplished by moving the boat about until a point is reached where the angles 
 do agree, and this point being the desired location, the liuoy can be placed in its correct 
 po.sition. 
 
 If the engineer can obtain the use of both a sextant and a three-arm protractor 
 (" position finder"), the availability of the hydrographic method is increased, as the use 
 of the protractor is essential in ca.se of the washing away or destruction of one or more of 
 the landmarks originally used in describing the boundaries. Under these circumstances, 
 an}- three landmarks of .suitable relative po.sitions that are visible from the point to be 
 located can be utilized. For example, the engineer can proceed to the buoy of doubtful 
 position and measure the two adjacent sextant angles between the three landmarks 
 selected. These two angles are set on the three-arm protractor and the actual position 
 of the buoy plotted on the chart by .shifting the protractor about until the edges of each 
 of the three arms pa.sses through the center of the symbols on the chart marking the 
 position of the three landmarks .selected. The center of the hub of the protractor will 
 indicate on the chart the actual position of the buoy, and if the point thus obtained 
 does not coincide with the true positions of the corner of the boundary as given on the 
 chart, the surveyor can proceed to locate the buoy correctly by reversing the operation. 
 This is done by placing the center point of the hub of the protractor over the corner of 
 the boinidary in question and measuring on the chart the two adjacent protractor angles 
 between the three selected landmarks. One of the angles thus obtained is set on the 
 sextant and the boat moved about until the two landmarks are .shown by the sextant to 
 subtend the .same angle obtained from the protractor. The second angle is then placed 
 on the .sextant and the same operation gone through, and so on, first using one angle 
 on the .sextant then the other, until a point is reached where both okserved .sextant 
 angles are practically identical with the protractor angles. The point thus located is 
 the desired one and the buoy can be placed to mark the true position of the corner of 
 the boundary in question. 
 
 If the engineer possesses two .sextants and a protractor this problem is far easier 
 of solution, as the two angles can be placed on separate sextants and the ob.server can 
 quickly find the desired point where the}' agree with the protractor angles by using one 
 .sextant after the other without the need of resetting either. 
 
 If there are two observers, two sextants, and a protractor, it can be seen that the 
 best conditions for both rapid and accurate hydrographic locations of points are attained; 
 in fact, this is the method by which the buoys at the corners of the boundaries were 
 originally placed by the hydrographic engineer to the Commission.

 (3) Magnetic bearings from offsliore. — This method of fixing a position on water is 
 a simple and well-known one in navigation. It is available to anyone having a boat 
 compass, and will be of special use to the State Fishery Force in investigating cases 
 where buoys are supposed to have been moved for illegal purposes. 
 
 In the case where a buoy is supposed to have been moved from its true position 
 the observer takes compass bearings to the three landmarks given in the last column of 
 the tables opposite the boundary corner in question. These bearings are then corrected 
 for the local declination," and if the results agree with the published bearings, the buoy 
 is correctly located. 
 
 In the case where the buoy is not in its correct position, or has disappeared alto- 
 gether, the desired point can be determined by maneuvering the vessel until the 
 corrected bearings agree with the ones in the tabular descriptions, when the buoy can 
 be anchored in its proper location. 
 
 In the case where the landmarks for which the bearings are published have been 
 destroj-ed or washed away, any landmark whose position is indicated on the charts can 
 be used by getting their bearings directly from the chart by parallel rulers or a pro- 
 tractor and then applying them in the same manner as the ones published in the tables. 
 
 (4j Magnetic bearings frotn sliore. — This method will be of special value to engi- 
 neers having an ordinarj' surveyor's compass. The compa.ss can be set over the point 
 marking a " triangulation station" on shore, the name of which is given in the last 
 column oppasite the "corner" in question. The instrument is then set at the corre- 
 sponding "back" bearing (corrected for local magnetic declination), given in the fourth 
 column of the tables opposite the "corner" in question and on line with the name of 
 the "station" being occupied. The direction thus determined will give one range on 
 which the desired point must be located. The compass can then be moved to a second 
 triangulation station and another range located in a similar manner. The intersection 
 of these two range lines will give the desired point; but in general it should be checked 
 by an additional range line determined from a third station. 
 
 (5) Horizontal angles measured at landmarks. — This process is a modification of 
 the triangulation method, and will be u.seful to engineers who have a tran.sit and desire 
 considerable accuracy. 
 
 The instrument is placed over a "triangulation station," the name of which 
 appears in the last column of the tabular description opposite the "corner" in ques- 
 tion. The telescope is then pointed to the landmark indicated in the "Description of 
 landmarks" as having a direction of 0° 00' 00" from the triangulation station being- 
 occupied by the transit. The tabular description of the boundaries is next examined 
 and the "back" bearing of the questionable boundarj' "corner," from the landmark 
 being occupied, is taken out. The angle calculated from the "back" bearing and the 
 bearing given in parentheses alongside the zero landmark in the "Description of 
 landmarks" is then laid off on the transit and a range line established, on which the 
 de.sired point must be located. A similar process is then carried on at a second station, 
 and so on until the position of the buoy is satisfactorily fixed.

 LANDMARKS (U. S. COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY TRIANGULATION 
 
 vSTATlONSJ. 
 
 EXPLANATION OF DESCRIPTION OF L.'^NDMARKS. 
 
 The oyster-culture laws of Maryland autliorizitig the survey of natural oyster bars 
 provide for " an accurate report of said .survey, setting forth such a description of laud- 
 marks as may be necessary to enable the said Board, or their successors, to find and 
 ascertain the boundary lines of said natural oyster beds, bars, and rocks, as shown b}- 
 delineation on the maps and charts." The law of the United States authorizing the 
 cooperation of the Department of Commerce and Labor in the survey of natural oyster 
 bars of Maryland provides for the erection of ' ' such structures as may be necessary to 
 mark the points of triangulation, so that the same may be used for such future work of 
 the Coast and Geodetic Survey as the said Bureau may be hereafter required to perform 
 in prosecuting the Government coast survey of the navigable waters of the United 
 States located within the State of Maryland." 
 
 Under the provisions of the sections of the laws stated above the markings and 
 descriptions of landmarks must be sufficient for the present and future needs of both 
 the Government and the State. With this end in view considerable effort has been 
 expended in erecting permanent monuments at the triangulation stations and iu the 
 proper description of their location. 
 330-07 S 
 
66 Survey of Ovsicr Bars, Aiiiir Aniudcl County, Aid. 
 
 An effort lias been made to arrange the description of stations in a uniform and 
 logical manner. The descriptions start with the assumption that the individual seeking 
 the station has only an indefinite idea of its location. They then gradually proceed 
 from general descriptions of the surroundings of a landmark to the specific details of 
 the character of the center and reference markings. An examination of the descrip- 
 tions themselves will best indicate the method followed. 
 
 The heading of each description is the name by which the landmark is known and 
 designated in all work and records executed by the commission. Where the .same 
 name is u.sed for two or more stations, as is the case in several instances in Anne 
 Arundel County, the general locality of the station being described is given in paren- 
 theses alongside its name. 
 
 In the first paragraph, under the heading of "Locality," is given a description of 
 the general locality of the landmark and the serial number of the published chart of 
 the oyster bars of Anne Arundel County which best shows its location. The second 
 paragraph, under this same heading, furnishes the description of the immediate locality 
 of the landmark and refers to the bearing and distance of the cement monument mark- 
 ing the reference station, as it is the first object that is likely to catch the eye when the 
 immediate vicinity of the desired station is reached. 
 
 Under the heading of "Marks" a description is given of the markings of the 
 "observed station" and the "reference station." It will be noted that although the 
 "observed station" is the one "occupied" and "observed on" for horizontal angles, 
 it is not marked as well as the reference station, and in many instances has only a pine 
 stub to indicate its position. This is the case, for the reason that the necessity of inter- 
 visibility of triangulation stations usually made it compulsory to locate the.se stations 
 on edges of banks and ends of points of land, which in Chesapeake Bay and tributaries 
 generally means that they will be washed away in a short period of years. The past 
 experience of the Coa.st and Geodetic .Survey in this region showed the necessity of 
 reference marks, if the reestablishment of a new framework of triangulation was to be 
 avoided in the near future. 
 
 The marks designated in the descriptions as "the center point of triangle on stand- 
 ard cement monument" are all exactly alike. They are made out of cement, sand, 
 and gravel and are 2 feet long and 8 inches square at top and bottom. Thedr tops are 
 all marked with the same bra.ss mold and show a center hole surrounded by a triangle, 
 with the letters " M. S. F. C." arranged around the vertex and the letters " U. S. C. S." 
 underneath the base of the triangle. All of these monuments have been planted in the 
 same manner, with their tops projecting 3 or 4 inches above the surface of the ground. 
 As the above facts in reference to the ' ' standard cement monuments ' ' are a constant 
 element in all the descriptions, their needless repetition is avoided b}' this one statement. 
 
 It is the expectation that the "reference stations," the character of which is 
 explained above, will be used in the near future in the place of the original stations. 
 This has been made possible by the careful measurements of direction and distance of 
 these stations from the ' ' observed station ' ' which are recorded under the heading of 
 . ' ' References. ' ' " 
 
 «To obtain the geographic positions of any of the "observed stations" or of the "reference 
 stations," application .should be made to the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey at 
 Washington . 
 
Survey of Oyster Bars, Anne Arundel County i Aid. 67 
 
 Under the heading of ' ' References ' ' are given the directions and distances of all 
 objects that might be useful in locating the stations when the surface marks can 
 not be found. It is also contemplated 'that for general purposes of topography or 
 location of boundaries of oyster bars, these references will be sufficient in many cases, 
 to relocate the ' ' observed station " or " reference station ' ' when both of them have 
 been destroyed but the reference objects remain. 
 
 The first reference object given in the descriptions is always a triangulation station 
 visible from the station being described. Its direction is taken as being 0° 00' 00", 
 and the directions of all other objects are measured from it as an initial point, the angles 
 being taken in a clockwise direction (left to right). 
 
 The true bearing" of the initial object is always given, in parentheses alongside the 
 name. This furnishes means for the calculation of the bearings of any of the reference 
 objects for the purposes of locating a station by compass bearings, or the relocation of 
 corner buoys of oyster-bar boundaries by the method of horizontal angles described 
 under the heading of "Boundaries of natural oyster bars." 
 
 The distances in the last column under "References" are given in three different 
 units, which vary according to their accuracy. The "miles" are statute miles and 
 may be considered only as rotigh estimates. The "yards" are more accurate, but niu.st 
 be looked on as results generallj' obtained by pacing or careful estimating. The 
 "meters," however, are accurate to the degree indicated by their decimals and in every 
 case have been measured with a steel tape.

 REPORT OF THE WORK OF THE COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY. 
 
 INSTRUCTIONS. 
 
 The two following letter.s, together with the laws" of the United States relating 
 to the subject, constitute the "instructions" of the representative of the Survey. 
 They are short and definite, but furnish ample authority and leeway for all legitimate 
 development of the cooperation of the Government and the State in the survey of 
 natural oyster bars. The " free hand " permitted by these orders proved very bene- 
 ficial and was greatly appreciated. 
 
 Dep.\rtment of Commerce and L.^bor, 
 
 Office of the Secretary, 
 
 Washington , Juyie 2, 1^06. 
 Sir: In reply to your letter of May 28, requesting me to designate officers of the Coast and Geo- 
 detic Survey and of the Bureau of Fisheries to cooperate with the State of Maryland in making 
 survey of and locating the natural oyster beds, I have the honor to inform you that Mr. C. C. Yates 
 vfill be designated to cooperate on the part of the Coast and Geodetic Survey as soon as Congress 
 makes the provisions of the act effective by providing an appropriation for the purpose. 
 Respectfully, 
 
 L-AWRENCE O. Murray, Assistant Secretary. 
 His Excellency Hon. Edwin Warfield, 
 
 Governor 0/ Maryland, Annapolis, Md.

 Very respectfully, 
 
 O. H. TiTTMANN, Superintendent. 
 Capt. C. C. YaTES, 
 
 U. S. C. and G. S. Steamer "Endeavor," Baltimore, Md. 
 
 HOUSE BOAT "OYSTER." 
 
 While arranging to ttiru over the command of the steamer Endeavor, the repre- 
 sentative of the Survey, acting under preliminary instructions from the Superintendent, 
 was engaged in frequent consultation with the Shell Fish Commissioners in reference 
 to the programme of future work. In addition to these duties, he undertook for the 
 commissioners the planning and supervision necessary to convert the old side-wheel 
 steamer Tliomas L. Wortliley into a house boat for the surveying parties of both the 
 Commission and the Government. 
 
 « For copies of these laws see " Introduction " to this publication. 
 
Survey of Oyster Bars^ Aiinc Arundel County, Md. 103 
 
 The Worltilej, now called the house boat Oyster, was in excellent conditron when 
 purchased by the Commission. The keelsons and timbers were sound and the upper 
 works strong. After the removal of the old engine and boiler, the house boat was 
 docked and her hull thoroughly examined. The outside planking below the water line 
 was found in good condition, and although it was recalked, it was done as an additional 
 precaution, the hull having been absolutely water-tight from the day of purchase. 
 
 The Oyster is about 135 feet over all and 35 feet in beam. The main deck contains 
 living- quarters for 27 men, the officers mess room and the galley. The upper deck has 
 II staterooms, 5 for the 3 commissioners and their 2 hydrographic engineers, 4 for 
 the Coast Survey officers, i for the representative of the U- S. Bureau of Fisheries, 
 and I for the local county oyster commissioner. Besides these rooms, there are located 
 on this deck a large drafting room, a laboratory for oyster investigations, and an office 
 room. Coal for the two Government launches and the galley is stored in the hold, 
 which also contains fresh-water tanks having a capacity of about 7,000 gallons. 
 Signal lumber is carried on the main deck aft of the officers' mess room. 
 
 As a whole, the Oyster is plainly and practically equipped for the work to be done. 
 She has added much to the amount of the surveying accomplished during the season, 
 and the Coast and Geodetic Survey representative greatly appreciates the practical 
 advantages furnished to his party by their quarters on the house boat. When the large 
 party of the combined surveying forces is taken into consideration with the limited 
 accommodations usually obtainable on shore, the attending difficulties of a scattered 
 party, the uncertain location and supply of coal and water for launches and sufficient 
 lumber for signals, it is easily to be seen that the amount of work accomplished would 
 have been reduced greatly, if there had been no such house boat as the Oyster to supply 
 all requirements of the surveying operations. 
 
 With reasonable care and repairs, the Oyster will be a valuable asset to the Com- 
 mission at the completion of the oyster survey of the State, besides having paid her 
 first cost several times over in both quality and quantity of work accomplished. 
 
 ORGANIZATION AND EQUIPMENT. 
 
 The command of the Endeavor was turned over to the hydrographic inspector 
 July 9, 1906, and from that date to the commencement of active field work the 
 Survey representative was engaged on organization of party, collection of surveying 
 data, general supervision of the construction of the house boat, and preparation of 
 field equipment. 
 
 Some delay was experienced in completing repairs to the Survey steam launch 
 Inspector, and by the difficulties of- obtaining surveying assistants who were qualified 
 to receive an appointment undep civil-service rules. In fact, the last field assistant 
 did not take his oath of office urftil the middle of October. 
 
 The field organization of the party, when fully completed, remained the same 
 during the season, and was as foUdws: 
 
 C. C. Yates, assistant, Coast and Geodetic Survey, and chief of party. 
 
 E. A. Borst, triangulator. 
 
 N. L. Arbuckle, topographic draftsman. 
 
 F. W. Seth, sur\'eynian and computer. 
 One launch coxswain. 
 
 One launch engineer. 
 Five seamen and hands. 
 
I04 Survey of Oyster Bars, Anne Arundel County, Md. 
 
 Later two additional draftsmen, J. D. Torrey and G. C. Moore, were appointed 
 and assigned to duty in the office in Washington, where they were employed on the 
 preparation for publication of the charts of natural oyster bars, making in all a party 
 of six officers from the Coast and Geodetic Survey engaged on the work. During 
 the last weeks of the field work, Mr. Paul C. Whitney, assistant. Coast and Geodetic 
 Survey, was assigned to temporary duty in the party in place of Mr. E. A. Borst, 
 who resigned. 
 
 The equipment of the party, in addition to the quarters and accommodations on 
 the house boat Oyster, consisted of the large Coast and Geodetic Survey steam launch 
 Inspector, an excellent whaleboat, a large ship's cutter, and a fishing dory. The 
 Survey also furnished a complete outfit of theodolites, levels, sextants, and other instru- 
 ments necessary for the work of the Government and State surveying parties, and 
 the usual outfit of tools, sails and oars, stationery, etc. 
 
 FIELD WORK. 
 
 The launch hi spec for and outfit were moved to Annapolis on August lo, 1906, on 
 which date the actual field work of the Coast and Geodetic Survey party commenced. 
 
 Previous to this time a number of signals had been erected over old Coast and 
 Geodetic Survey triaugulation stations on the Severn River by the hydrographic 
 engineer of the Commission. By using the triaugulation so established, considerable 
 oyster bar location was accomplished. 
 
 After the arrival of the Coast Survey party,' the erection of signals and the 
 observations of horizontal angles necessary to establish a framework of triaugulation 
 were kept well ahead of the oyster bar locations and other oyster investigations. 
 
 The methods of triaugulation were those established by the Coa.st and Geodetic 
 Survey aud require no explanation other than that given bj' the publications of the 
 Survey. 
 
 In all there are 123 triaugulation stations involved in the survey of Anne Arundel 
 County natural oyster bars. These stations are scattered along the western shore line 
 of the bay from Fort Carroll to Holland Point, and are located at intervals frequently 
 less than a half and rarely more than a mile apart. The triaugulation was carried on 
 with energy aud good judgment, but the scattered condition of the work, composed of 
 a mixture of new and old stations, increased the number of observations without the 
 usual proportionate increase in number of new stations established. 
 
 After the appointment of a topographic draftsman on September 19, all boat 
 sheets for both the hydrographic and oyster investigation parties were prepared and 
 much other drafting work was done to facilitate the operations of the commissioners. 
 Besides this work, the draftsman checked the computations and kept up the smooth 
 projections as far as the new field work permitted. 
 
 Con.siderable difficulty was experienced iu bringing up the computations to the 
 immediate requirements of the work, especially iu We.st River and to the south along 
 the .shore of the bay, where practically all old triaugulation stations had been washed 
 away. This situation was much relieved by the appointment of a survej'man on Octo- 
 ber 15, who had received some training in the computing division of the Survey at 
 Washington. 
 
Survey of Oyster Bars, Anne Arundel Coun/]\ Mrl. 105 
 
 The operations in the vicinity of Severn and Soutli rivers were completed Sep- 
 tember 13, when the house boat Oyster was moved to West River. Up to this time 
 the party had lived on shore and suffered man}? of the resulting inconveniences and 
 delays due to scattered lodgings, uncertain meal hours, etc. The advantages of the 
 house boat were immediately shown in the results, and in spite of much bad weather 
 the work in the vicinity of West River was completed and the Oyster moved to Magothy 
 River on November 9. Here the house boat remained until the end of the month, when 
 she was moved to Bodkin Creek. On December 9 the main body of the field work for 
 the season was completed and the Oyster went to Annapolis for the winter. Quarters 
 were taken up on shore, the parties reduced in number, and offices established in the 
 state house. 
 
 During the following winter the uniini.shed ends of triangulation, construction 
 and planting of permanent monuments, and new descriptions of stations, occupied 
 about a third of the time of the triangulator. 
 
 Besides the training and as.si.stance required by an entirely new organization, and 
 the systematizing of a new class of work, the representative of the Coast and Geodetic 
 Survey devoted nuich time and took much interest in the work of the Commission in 
 general as affecting both the surveying and other operations of the oyster-culture laws 
 of Maryland. 
 
 OFFICE W'ORK. 
 
 After October 15, a greater part of the original computations were made by the 
 surveyman of the party and were checked by the triangulator and the topographic 
 draftsman. This work included the computations of 166 triangles, 67 geodetic posi- 
 tions, and 1,083 back computations of geodetic positions required for the technical 
 descriptions of the boundaries of natural oyster bars. These computations, together 
 with the making out of the abstract of horizontal angles, the lists of geographic posi- 
 tions, the lists of directions, and the reduction to center for 8 eccentric .stations', make 
 up a creditable amount of computation for the short season's work. 
 
 The drafting con.sisted of the preparation of nearly all boat sheets u.sed by the 
 hydrographic and oyster-investigation parties, the construction of 9 projection sheets, 
 and the plotting of 2,596 .sextant positions on the projections. Besides this drafting, 
 the progress map was prepared for the lithographer, the boundaries of 91 natural oy.ster 
 bars were plotted on the projections, the geographic positions of 361 corners of bars 
 were .scaled off the sheets, and 1,083 distances to landmarks from corners of bars taken 
 off the projections for u.se in checking computations. This work was done neatly and 
 accurately, and represents a larger amount of labor than this statement would indicate. 
 
 The great amount of necessary work required to prepare for publication the 4 
 large scale charts of the natural oy.ster bars and the report containing the description of 
 boundaries and landmarks to accompanj' charts, can be seen from an inspection of the 
 charts and reports. 
 
 SUMMARY. 
 
 The results obtained from the work of the Coast and Geodetic Survey in cooper- 
 ation with the Maryland Shell Fish Commission need no other summary than is 
 indicated by the published charts of the natural oyster bars and the scheme of 
 
 330—07 -13

 projections and triangulation shown on the progress map at the end of this report. 
 
 The work completed will stand the test of time, and it will be recognized ulti- 
 mately that both time and money have been saved by having the work done system- 
 atically and accurately. 
 
 The geographic positions of the permanent landmarks and signals have been 
 determined with the usual preci.sion of a trigonometric survey, and their locations at 
 all points neces.sary to provide ample foundation for the .surveying and charting oper- 
 ations permitted great accuracy of definition and location for the natural oyster bar 
 and other boundaries established. At the same time, the very important element of 
 permanencj' of the positions of boundaries has been .secured, as the relocation of 
 geodetic positions can always be accomplished by a competent surveyor, even though 
 the original landmarks and monuments have been washed away, as has been the 
 fate of hundreds of such points established by the Coast and Geodetic Survey on 
 the shores of the Chesapeake Bay during the last sixty-five years. 
 
 Before ending this report the representative of the Coast and Geodetic Survey 
 deems it both desirable and natural to make a statement of appreciation of the ever 
 courteous actions of everyone connected with the Maryland Shell Fish Commission" 
 and of his colleague* from the Department of Conuuerce and Labor. This excellent 
 relationship made true cooperation possible and aided greatlj' in the .successful accom- 
 plishment of much work.
