LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.

Columbus, Ohio, December 23, 1903.
Hon. George K. Nasli, Governor of Ohio:
Sir: — As your representative, appointed by Your Excellency, May
12, 1902, to inspect the work of the Co-operative Topographic Survey of
this State, I have the honor to submit the following report covering the
work of the Survey from its inception to November 15, 1903. Accom
panying the report is a map showing the progress of the Survey from
its inception. Also copies of the twenty-eight sheets thus far engraved
are herewith presented. Eight appendices are also submitted, four of
which give the results of primary triangulation, primary traverse, spirit
leveling, and meridian marks established by the Survey.
As these data will be of immediate use to the surveyors and engineers
of the State, as well as to all those who make use of surveys, it is recom
mended that they be printed as soon as practicable.
Much of this information was furnished through the courtesy of
Mr. H. M. Wilson of the United . States Geological Survey.
Very respectfully,
C. E. Sherman.

Columbus, O., May 16, 1904.
Hon. Myron T. Herrick, Governor of Ohio :
Dear Sir: — Since no provision for printing Co-operative Topo
graphic Survey reports was made by the State law which provides for the
printing of the reports of other State officials, a special enactment — Senate
Joint Resolution No. 15 — had to be procured for publishing this work.
The result has been a delay in getting the work to the printer, and this
delay has been taken advantage of to include in the report all the latest
adjustments of the precise leveling done during 1903. The last of these
was completed April 9th, last. Very respectfully,
C. E. Sherman.

CO-OPERATIVE TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY.

INTRODUCTORY.

A decade ago, the citizens of Ohio began agitation for a survey and
map of the State upon a larger scale and to more accurate detail than
existing maps. Indeed no authoritative survey or map of the State ex
isted, or yet exists, upon which to project cadastral surveys, lay out
industrial projects, or use for detailed educational, engineering, or sci
entific purposes. Several small-scale maps exist, the best of which is
that of Warner and Foote made twenty years ago, to a scale of four
miles to the inch. This map, however, like its predecessors is a com
pilation from such data as could then be gathered, no extensive and care
ful survey being made to check the data used; hence, although very
valuable for general purposes, it is inaccurate and published to too small
a scale to meet the numerous calls now made for detailed information.
The States of Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Con
necticut have completed accurate surveys of their domains, from which
maps have been made showing not only the features delineated in maps
as we ordinarily know them in old style geographies' and charts, but also
showing the relief — thatjs, the shapes of the hills and hollows — by the in
genious yet very simple device of contour lines. A contour line on a
map is a line connecting points that have the same elevation. The "shore
line of a lake or pond is a contour line, and if the water were to rise five
feet a new shore line would be formed which would correspond to another
contour line, and the contour interval in this case would be five feet. The
contour lines on a map may thus be regarded as a series of shore lines,
and it is customary to reference them all to sea level ; that is, the sea shore
is called the zero contour line. If the level of the ocean were to rise 700
feet its shore line would pass through Ohio and the mapped line would
be numbered the 700 foot contour. The shore line of Lake Erie is the
573 foot contour. It is customary, however, for convenience to show only
lines varying by intervals of twenty feet from the zero line. They are
numbered at frequent intervals and every fifth contour is made slightly
heavier, to facilitate the reading of the map.
In the four States already mentioned, these contour topographic maps
have been found extremely useful. They were all obtained by co-operat
ing with the United States Geological Survey, a bureau of the Department
of the Interior. The Geological Survey, through its topographic branch,
began in 1882, the task of surveying and mapping the entire United States,
making use of such surveys of required accuracy as have already been

8 PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE
made, as for example, the work of the United States Coast and Geodetic
Survey and of the United States Lake Survey. From 1884 to 1887 in
co-operation with the State of Massachusetts it surveyed and mapped its
whole area to a scale of about 1 inch per mile. The total cost of this
work was $107,845 or $12.90 per square mile, excluding the cost of pri
mary control which had previously been executed by the United States
Coast and Geodetic Survey. Of the total cost Massachusetts contributed
over $40,000. In 1884, New Jersey, which had been carrying on a
survey under State supervision, applied for co-operation which was agreed
to, and the work completed in 1887. The total cost was $54,744.58, or
$6.93 per square mile, excluding again primary control. Rhode Island
was surveyed in 1888 by the Geological Survey in co-operation with the
State, the total cost being $9,732.51, or about $8.97 per square mile. The
co-operative survey of Connecticut was commenced in 1889 and finished
in 189 1, at an average total cost of about $9.79 per square mile. In all
these States the national survey had borne one-half or more of the ex
pense of surveying and mapping, and the entire expense of engraving and
printing the maps.
The assistance of the United States Geological Survey has been of
fered on such advantageous terms, and the resulting extremely useful
maps have been so handsomely engraved and printed by the Survey that
other states have in rapid succession, followed the example of the four
above mentioned, and numerous state co-operative surveys are now in
progress. In response to inquiries made by those interested, the Geolog
ical Survey promised co-operation with Ohio upon terms similar to those
granted other states ; namely, agreeing to pay half the expense of field and
office work, and to bear the whole expense of engraving and printing the re
sulting maps, the publication scale of the maps to be approximately one
inch to the mile. The Geological Survey through its representative, Mr.
H. M. Wilson, estimated the cost of surveying and mapping at about $10
per square mile, or for the whole State about $400,000, of which Ohio was
to pay $200,000. He suggested that the funds could be most economically
expended and the work most efficiently carried on, if $25,000 were ap
propriated for each year. To this sum the Government would add
$25,000 making $50,000 available each season, and requiring eight years
for the completion of the work.

CO-OPERATIVE TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY.

LEGISLATION.

In response to these representations, and to the urgent requests made
by citizens of the State, especially those interested in scientific, engineering,
industrial, and educational enterprises, the legislature on April 16, 1900,
enacted a law providing for a contour topographic survey and map of the
State to be made in co-operation with the United States Geological Sur
vey, and appropriated therefor the sum of $25,000 with which to carry
on the work during the year ending February 15, 1902. By this act the
Governor was authorized to arrange with the Director of the National
Survey for the details of executing the work, including scale of the map ;
order in which different parts of State should be surveyed, etc., etc. ; and
was empowered to accept or reject the work to be done by the Geological
Survey. The law provided that the resulting map should accurately
show the outlines of all townships, counties, and extensive wooded areas
in the State as existing on the ground at the time of the survey ; the lo
cation of all roads, railroads, streams, canals, lakes, and rivers ; and should
show by contour lines the elevations and depressions of the surface of the
country. The law further stipulated that the State was to pay not to
exceed one-half of the total cost of the survey, payments to be made upon
vouchers approved by the Governor.
In accordance with the provisions of this act, Your Excellency in
November, 1900, entered into an agreement with the Director of the United
States Geological Survey for carrying on the work for the year for which
the appropriation was made. A copy of this agreement is given in
Appendix A. It was made for the work of one year only, and has been
made anew for each succeeding year, the provisions being substantially
the same, with the exception of a few minor details. The agreements
for the seasons of 1902 and 1903 provide for the showing of section lines
and section numbering on the maps and for printing 10 foot contours
on the maps of the flatter portion of the State, in addition to those fea
tures provided for in the first agreement. The agreements have also been
practically the same as those under which the National Survey is carrying
on co-operative surveys in other States.
The chief provisions of the first agreement were as follows : The
Director of the United States Geological Survey to determine the methods
of making survey and map and to determine the scale of the preliminary
field maps ; by tacit agreement not stated in the document, the director was
also to have charge of selection and employment of all assistants, selecting

10 PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE
unskilled assistants as far as practicable from the locality in which survey
was made; the Governor of Ohio, to determine the order of priority
in which different portions of the State were to be surveyed, and to have
the right to terminate the contract at any time he deemed the work not
being satisfactorily done; the resulting map to be published to a scale
of i :62,5oo, to be based for primary control on the United States Coast
and Geodetic Survey and United States Lake Survey triangulation, sup
plemented where deficient by the United States Geological Survey which
shall permanently monument all important points; the published" map
to show hydrography, public culture, all town and county boundaries, and
township land lines, and hypsography by contour lines at a vertical in
terval of twenty feet ; the Governor to be furnished the heights of
important points, and proofs of the engraved map with outlines of wooded
areas shown thereon; free access to be afforded to the Governor, or his
representative, to the field sheets and records of the topographers and
draftsmen during the progress of the work ; the resulting map to fully
recognize the co-operation of the State, and upon completion of the work,
the Governor to be furnished, if desired, with transfers from the engraved
copper plates ; and finally, the United States Geological Survey to expend
an amount equal to that spent by Ohio on the survey.
Copies of the acts making appropriations will be found in Appen
dix A.

CO-OPERATIVE TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY. 11

EXPENDITURES.

The legislature by enactments of April 16, 1900, and of May 12,
1902, has thus far appropriated $75,000 for carrying on the Survey work.
Of this amount, $368.53 lapsed back into the State treasury April 16, 1902,
by non-expenditure. This was due to the illness and death of your repre
sentative, Prof. C. N. Brown, which brought the work on the part of the
State to a standstill for the month or two preceding the close of the ap
propriation year. Of the remaining amount, $65,822.36 has been ex
pended for survey -work, and a balance of $8,809.11 remains unexpended
November 15, 1903. This last amount will be needed to help pay out
standing accounts for field work still in progress ; for such share of the
office expense of drafting the sheets surveyed during the past season as
will equalize expenditures on the part of both State and Federal govern
ment; and for estimated expenses of inspection until the end of the ap
propriation year, which includes expenses for stenographer and clerk hire
for making annual report, for stationery, etc., which will not exceed $600
in all. I desire to call attention to the fact that the United States Geological
Survey, which has charge of the expenditure^ of practically all funds and
of the employment of help, has paid the bulk of the money — appropriated
by both State and Federal governments — to the citizens of the State for
subsistence, livery hire, services, and other sundry expenses connected
with the survey. This will likewise be true of the remaining appropria
tions, necessary to complete the map, and since every portion of the State
will be surveyed, the distribution of funds will be as nearly uniform as will
be possible to make them. Thus the money appropriated by the people
through its legislature will all be returned to, them, and will cause an addi
tional sum from the National treasury to be likewise distributed within
Lhe boundaries of our commonwealth.
All expenditures by the State for survey work have been made upon
vouchers furnished by the United States Geological Survey. The em
ployees of the Survey, in charge of parties, pay field expenses of same
from their own pockets, filing vouchers and sub-vouchers for such ex
penses bimonthly at the Washington office. These are there checked, one-
half paid by the Federal survey and one-half forwarded to the State.
Those forwarded have all been carefully examined by myself, forwarded
to Your Excellency, and upon your approval have been paid out of the
State treasury upon warrants issued by the Auditor. Since these expense
accounts, amounting sometimes to $1,000 per month for one topographer,

12 PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE
are met by the Government employees out of their own funds, and it
would embarrass the work if they were unnecessarily delayed, the vouchers
for the same have been forwarded to you during the progress of the sur
vey as promptly as received, and accompanying each, a statement showing
the nature of the expense, and the amount remaining in the State fund
after the payment of the accounts.
A statement of these expenditures by seasons follows. The State
appropriations are available one and two years from the date of adjourn
ment of the legislature. This is usually early in the spring about the
time field work can begin, hence the appropriation year coincides ap
proximately with the summarization periods used below.

The balance on November 15, 1903, to the_ credit of the survey fund
($8,809.11) will be used to pay outstanding accounts of field parties still
at work; a share of the office expenses of drafting the maps surveyed dur
ing the season just closing; and the estimated expenses of inspection by
the State until May 12, 1904, the last day of the appropriation year.

The Federal fiscal year ends June 30th, and in accordance with agree
ment (see Appendix A) the expenditures of both parties to co-operation
are equalized at the end of the Government fiscal year. Statements of the
amounts paid out by the Geological Survey are furnished by the chief
disbursing clerk for each month, and from these statements the following
is summarized: Total appropriation from the funds of the United States Geological
Survey — allotments by the Director on April 12, 1901, June 28, 1902,
and June, 1903 — has been $75,000.
Of this amount $368.53 was withdrawn in June, 1902, to offset a
similar amount lapsing to the State; $1,800 has been deducted to cover
expenses of general superintendence of the work by the Survey officials ;
$62,916.24 has been expended for survey work up to November 1, 1903 ;
and a balance of $9,915.23 remained on the latter date with which to
pay expenses of office drafting, of general supervision by Survey officials,
and of additional field work until June 30, 1904, when the next Federal
appropriation becomes available.
Of the amount paid for survey work up to November 1, 1903, about
$12,000 has been paid for office work of drafting.
The detailed results of the foregoing expenditures are given in the
following record of progress.

14 PRELIMINARY REPORT' ON THE

RECORD OF PROGRESS.

WORK DONE PRIOR TO LEGISLATION.
Reconnaissance Maps. The first work done by the United States
Geological Survey in Ohio was on a small tract of about 50 square miles
sketched by L. C. Fletcher, topographer, to a reconnoissance scale in 1890,
in connection with some work done in West Virginia when the Hunting
ton quadrangle was mapped. The northwest corner of this sheet laps
across the Ohio river, and covers an area of about 50 square miles of Law
rence county. This was mapped to a scale of 1 : 125000, and intended
for reconnoissance purposes. During the progress of the present survey
this area will be re-mapped in sufficient detail to be drawn upon the scale
r :62,500, or, about 1 mile to the inch.
In 1897 Messrs. Hersey Munroe and J. S. Smith commenced the
mapping of the Ironton quadrangle, covering a part of Lawrence county,
in Ohio, and also portions of 'Kentucky. This was likewise done on the
scale 1 :i25,ooo, with a contour interval of 50 feet. During the year, June
30, 1897 — June 30, 1898, they sketched 285 square miles in Ohio, and in
connection therewith ran 190 miles of levels and established 28 permanent
bench marks. The larger part of this leveling was done in 1897 and was
based on the N. & W. R. R. levels at Ironton, and the bench marks thus
set were stamped "I." Early in 1898 this Ironton bench mark was con
nected with the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey transcontinental
bench mark at Plamden Junction in Vinton county, and the Ironton bench
mark was found to be 3.430 feet too low. All the leveling done in the
early part of 1898 was referred to the bench mark at Hamden Junction,
accepted . elevation formerly 706.665, and the permanent bench marks
were stamped "A," meaning Athens datum. Accordingly, to the eleva
tion stamped on bench marks "I" were added approximately 3 feet, giving
the list as published in the Nineteenth Annual Report of the United States
Geological Survey. By the adjustment of 1903, however, the Hamden
bench mark is taken as 706.380, and the list of elevations given in Ap
pendix F, of this report, is adjusted to this latest determination.
Season of 1898. A portion of the Ironton district was re-mapped in
1898 to a scale of 1 :62,500 and a contour interval of 20 feet, and given
the name of Ironton Quadrangle. Mr. Hersey Munroe, assisted by Mr.

CO-OPERATIVE TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY. 15
W. N. Morrill, commenced work early in July, 1898, and completed the
quadrangle — 220 square miles in Ohio — during the season, running 64
miles of spirit levels and establishing nine permanent bench marks. The
sheet was then drawn in the office and submitted for engraving.
Cincinnati sheets. Early in July, 1898, a party in charge of Mr.
Chas. E. Cooke, began work on the East and West Cincinnati quadran
gles, comprising the city of Cincinnati and vicinity, and lying partly in
Kentucky, and surveyed them by February 1, 1899, to a scale of 1 62,500,
and contour interval of 20 feet. In connection with the topographic
work, 190 miles of levels were run and 19 permanent bench marks set.
Of these latter, 9 are in Ohio and are stamped, in addition to the approx
imate elevation, with the letters "CIN,'' meaning that the elevations were
based on the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey monument just
north of the south door on the west side of the court house, the elevation
of which is now acepted as 546.537 feet. This elevation is based on
United States Coast and Geodetic Survey . transcontinental line and line
from Toledo, and upon United States Engineers' Ohio River line.
In October, 1898, Mr. S. S. Gannett measured and expanded a base
near Columbus and connected the triangulation with the United States
Coast and Geodetic Survey astronomical station at Columbus. This work
furnished the primary control for the two quadrangles in which Columbus
lies, named the East and West Columbus Quadrangles respectively, and
also furnished a check upon the primary traverse lines run later between
Cincinnati, Columbus, and Toledo.
Season of i8pg. From the first of May until the middle of August,
1899, Mr. Hersey Munroe surveyed the two Columbus quadrangles to
scale of 1 :62,5oo and contour interval of 20 feet. The area thus mapped
was 462 square miles, in connection with which 312 miles of primary
levels were run and 22 permanent bench, marks established. These are
all stamped "Columbus," and their stamped elevations are based on the
aluminum tablet in the Columbus court house marked "778 Columbus,"
the elevation of which is now accepted as 777.295 feet above mean sea
level. This elevation was determined by a line of precise levels run under
Mr. Munroe's direction, from the Coast and Geodetic Survey transconti
nental bench mark "Q" at Chillicothe, the elevation of which latter is
now accepted as 638.182 feet.
Early in July, 1899, Mr. Chas. E. Cooke and party began and by
November 20th completed the survey of the three quadrangles comprising
Toledo and vicinity. These sheets are named respectively the Toledo,
Maumee Bay, and Oak Harbor Quadrangles, and comprise a land area
of about 500 square miles. They are to 1 : 62,500 scale and to 20 foot
contour interval, and in connection with their mapping 168 miles of levels
were run, and 18 permanent bench marks established, all being stamped
with the elevation to the nearest foot and the word "Toledo" to show that
2— t. s.

the elevations are referred to the Toledo datum — which is a copper bolt
placed in the southwest side of the government building at Toledo, and
lettered United States Coast and Geodetic Survey — the elevation of which
is now taken as 603.889. This bench mark was established by the United
States Coast and Geodetic Survey in 1899 from a line starting at Gibral-
ter, Michigan, and running south to Cincinnati. In this same region in
first half of September, 1899, &7 mues of primary traverse were run, radi
ating from St. Mary's church spire, Toledo, previously located by the
United States Lake Survey.
During the government year, 1899-1900, the East and West Cincin
nati and Ironton sheets were engraved, and over 2,500 copies of each were
printed and distributed by the Washington office. At the same time the
East and West Columbus, Toledo, Maumee Bay, and Oak Harbor sheets
were drawn up in the office and engraving begun on them.
All of the foregoing work, from 1890 to 1900, was done at the sole
expense of the Federal Survey, as was also the work of the following
season.

SEASON OF I9OO.
Beginning in the early spring of 1900, after the law authorizing
co-operation was passed, but before the State funds were available, the
United States Geological Survey, entirely at its own expense, executed
primary control covering about 7,000 square miles of area, and later
carried on the office work of collecting, adjusting, and reducing to a uni
form sea level datum, all existing precise levels in the .State. Altogether
this work cost the National Bureau about $4,610, not counting the cost of
office work of reduction the following winter. A more detailed statement
of this work follows :
Primary Control. Three parties were placed in the State early in
the year under the charge of Mr. S. S. Gannett, chief of the computing
division of the United States Geological Survey.
One party under the immediate direction of Mr. Geo. T. Hawkins,
ran a line of primary traverse from Cincinnati to Columbus, and two
lines about 15 miles apart from Columbus to Toledo. This primary
traverse was connected in the southern part of the State with the United
States Coast and Geodetic Survey transcontinental triangulation, and in
the northern part with the United States Lake Survey triangulation. It
was also connected at Columbus with the triangulation already mentioned,
controling the two Columbus qua'drangles.
Several primary traverse lines were run -by Mr. E. L. McNair, be
tween Cleveland, Wooster, Canton, and Carrollton. This work was con
nected with the United States Lake Survey triangulation and with that
of Mr. Griswold.

CO-OPERATIVE TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY.

17

Primary triangulation was extended by Mr. W. T. Griswold, be
tween Moundsville, West Virginia, and Woodsfield, Carrollton, and Steu-
benville, Ohio. This primary control is connected with the United States
Geological Survey triangulation in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and
Maryland. The net results of primary control for the season were the running
of 640 miles of primary traverse which established 225 geographic posi
tions; the occupation and monumenting of 20 primary triangulation sta
tions; and the establishment of 10 meridian marks. This primary work
covered 7070 square miles distributed over portions of the following 31
counties, namely : Lucas, Ottawa, Wood, Sandusky, Hancock, Seneca,
Wyandot, Hardin, Marietta, Union, Delaware, Fayette, Pickaway, Clin
ton, Warren, Clermont, Lorain, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Medina, Summit,
Portage, Wayne, Stark, Columbiana, Carroll, Jefferson, Flarrison, Guern
sey, Belmont, and Monroe. Including the existing triangulation of the
other Federal surveys above named, there were partly controlled by such
work about 25 per cent, of the counties of the State, and there were avail
able for topographic mapping 37 quadrangles, covering 8,500 square
miles. Topographic Mapping. No secondary topographic triangulation or
traverse, no secondary leveling, nor contour sketching was done in Ohio
this season. Office Work. At Washington, upon the close of the field season,
work was prosecuted upon collecting, adjusting, and reducing to a uni
form mean sea level datum at Sandy Hook, all the existing precise levels.
This included the precise levels of the transcontinental line of the United
States Coast and Geodetic Survey, along the southern border of the State ;
also of the same Federal Survey between Toledo, Lima and Cincinnati ;
also precise water level tide gages of the United States Engineers at
Toledo, Sandusky, Cleveland, and Ashtabula; and precise levels of the

in the north-central portion of the State, in Lorain, Huron, Medina, Rich
land, Ashland, and Wayne counties. This traverse was based on the
Camden and Townsend triangulation stations of the United States Lake
Survey and on points near Millbrook and Burbank established in 1900
from primary traverse by E. L. McNair.
Twenty-seven 15-minute quadrangles, covering portions of eighteen
counties in the northwest portion of the State were controlled or partly
controlled by 160 miles of primary traverse run along railways by Mr.
Geo. T. Hawkins. His line began at Toledo and ran west on the Lake
Shore railway to Edgerton, thence on highways southwest to the Ohio-
Indiana State line, thence down this line to the Findlay, Fort Wayne and
Western railway, thence east along this railway. This was supplemented
by 700 miles of primary traverse run by Mr. J. R. Ellis along highways
following as nearly as possible meridians and parallels bounding quad
rangles in this vicinity and in the central part of the State.
Mr. A. H. Thompson was engaged all season in extending primary
triangulation in the southeastern part of the State in Harrison, Guern
sey, Noble, and neighboring counties. In all he occupied 27 triangulation
stations. Topographic Mapping. Mr. Chas. E. Cooke, in charge of a party,
completed the mapping of the Elmore, Fostoria, Findlay, and Bowling
Green quadrangles, covering portions of Seneca, Sandusky, Wood, and
Hancock counties.
Mr. Nat Tyler, Jr., and party surveyed the Fremont, Bellevue, San
dusky, and Put-in-Bay quadrangles covering portions of Erie, Sandusky,
Ottawa, and Pluron counties.
Mr. W. H. Griffin and party mapped the Olentangy quadrangle ad
joining Columbus on the northwest. The name of theOlentangy quad
rangle was later changed to Dublin Quadrangle.
Mr. Basil Duke and party completed the mapping of the Delaware
quadrangle covering portions of Delaware, Marion, and Morrow coun
ties. Mr. Goodlove and party completed the mapping of the Vermillion
quadrangle during the latter part of the season, covering portions of
Lorain, Erie, and Huron counties.
Mr. Robt. D. Cummin was in charge of a party which completed
the Euclid, Cleveland, and Oberlin quadrangles and partly mapped the
Berea sheet. These quadrangles cover portions of Cuyahoga, Summit,
and Lorain counties.
Mr. Hersey Munroe and party completed the mapping of the Can
ton, Massillon, and Wooster quadrangles, covering portions of Wayne,
Stark, and Summit counties.
Mr. W. T. Griswold and party completed the Cadiz quadrangle, and
partially mapped the Scio and St. Clairsville quadrangles. These lie in

the eastern part of the State and cover portions of Harrison, Jefferson,
Carroll, and Belmont counties.
Office Work. The eighteen sheets surveyed during the summer
were drafted for engraving the following winter, and during the winter
and early spring, photolithographic maps of these were made and copies
sent to the State Survey officials. Computations of the primary con
trol work were also carried on, and the percise leveling done in connec
tion with mapping was adjusted.
Resume for ipoi. In addition to the office work just mentioned in
the above paragraph the results for the season were the mapping of
eighteen quadrangles named respectively, the Dublin, Delaware, Find
lay, Fostoria, Bowling Green, Elmore, Fremont, Bellevue, Put-in-Bay,
Sandusky, Vermillion, Oberlin, Cleveland, Euclid, Wooster, Massillon,
Canton, and Cadiz quadrangles; the occupation of twenty-seven triangu
lation stations and running about 1,000 miles primary traverse, con
trolling about 30 atlas sheets covering portions of 34 counties (an area
of 6,900 square miles) ; and the running of 2,873 miles of precise levels,
in the course of which 124 permanent bench marks were set, and the ele
vations of many other points accurately determined.

season of 1902.

Field work began about the middle of May and was continued until
December. Primary Control. Eleven 15-minute quadrangles, covering portions
of Fairfield, Hancock, Athens, Vinton, Meigs, Gallia, and Lawrence
counties were controlled by twenty-six triangulation stations, occupied
by Mr. S. S. Gannett. Five 15-minute quadrangles in portions of Tus
carawas, Guernsey, Muskingum, Monroe, and Washington counties were
controlled by twenty-two triangulation stations, occupied by Mr. Geo. T.
Hawkins. Two 15-minute quadrangles immediately north of Cincinnati,
covering portions of Hamilton, Warren, and Butler counties were con
trolled by eighty-two miles of primary traverse run by Mr. J. R. Ellis.
This work was based on the transcontinental triangulation of the United
States Coast and Geodetic Survey connected with previous work in the
northeastern part of the State, so that all triangulation in Ohio is now
reduced to the United States Standard Geodetic datum.
Precise Levels. Mr. W. H. Baldwin, in the fall of 1902, ran 60
miles of levels for the purpose of connecting the United States Lake
Survey levels with the levels of the Pennsylvania railroad. This line
extends from Cleveland to Canton, and in connection with it three per
manent bench marks were established. The results furnish the data from

SUMMARY TO NOVEMBER 1 5, I9O3.
The results accomplished to date are best seen by an inspection of
the Progress Map accompanying this report, as a frontispiece. Fifty-
two sheets lying wholly or partly within the State have been completely
surveyed, and of this number twenty-eight have been engraved and
printed and are now available; ten have been partly surveyed, making
a total equivalent area of nearly 10,000 square miles completely surveyed,
the larger portion of which is in the roughest portion of the State. In
addition primary control has been extended over 129 quadrangles, fifty-
two of which have been mapped as above stated. The complete map of
the State will cover 212 quadrangles in whole or in part. For a more
compendious statement of results see Appendix B.

USES OF TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS.

The possible uses of contour topographic maps are so extensive
as to almost defy enumeration. Such maps not only answer a great
variety of questions, but frequently suggest phases of problems that
would not otherwise have arisen, but for the study of these maps. Some
of the more obvious uses are given below.
Agricultural. The lay of farm lands — how much hill land and how
much bottom — can be seen by an intending purchaser without visiting
the premises, if such a map is examined ; and the suitability for pro
posed agricultural purposes may often be inferred from an inspection of
the map. It will also serve for a base for land-classification surveys by
the National Government. Such surveys have already been initiated
in other states by the National Department of Agriculture,
Administrative purposes will be served by these maps. There is
hardly a bureau in our State 'Government that will not in some way find
them useful. The Board of Public Works could have used such maps
for. determining the watersheds tributary to, and estimating the available
water supply for, summit levels of the canals; or for projecting new
feeders. The Board of Health would find them useful in passing upon
sanitary projects submitted for approval. The Railway Commissioner
could use them for checking mileage and as a base for railway maps of
the State. They would answer many questions affecting legislation, and
court decisions. They wo-uld form basal maps for special purposes for
the State Board of Agriculture, Mine Inspector, Canal Commission
ers, etc. Educational. Universities, colleges, acadamies, and high schools will
find these maps extremely useful in studying scientific problems. Even the
common schools will find them useful in studying geography, for, the
present day method of teaching this subject is to begin with local sur
roundings. An excellent map of any county can be readily obtained, at
a merely nominal cost, upon the completion of the survey by simply past
ing together the necessary sheets. It is said that in New Jersey every
school in the State is provided with a full set of the topographic maps
of the State.
Engineering enterprises are greatly facilitated by these maps. The
Engineering News of May 21, 1903, contains an account of a recently
built section of railway line, in which the writer states that $85,000 was

saved to the company by discovering a better route on the Co-operative
Survey maps, than that chosen and about to be built upon before the
region was mapped by the United States Geological Survey.
Industrial projects are served by these maps. The projection of
electric railway lines is rendered economical because the expense of a
preliminar)- survey is frequently rendered unnecessary. The location of
water-powers is greatly facilitated, since it can be seen to what extent the
water will be impounded by a dam of given height, or what length of
canal or hydraulic will be required for a given fall, etc.
Military. Topographic maps are needed in planning movements of
State or National troops. Indeed this was the way the topographic map
originated. Napoleon is said to have organized the first topographic
corps, and on the maps of his topographers every detail affecting the
movement of troops was shown. This -required the slope to be repre
sented, which was done by the laborious system of hachures, which, be
sides being difficult and tedious to make, obscured the other features of
the drawing. The simple device of contour lines now does this with
all the accuracy of hachures, and does not obscure the other features.
Municipal projects such as public water supplies and sewerage sys
tems find topographic maps indispensable for their study. Topographic
maps are indispensable for laying out town sites, or for intelligently
making large additions to existing towns.
Pleasure Seekers, whether touring on wheel, automobile, riding, or
driving, will find these maps a reliable guide for journeying. All who
travel the public highways in portions of the State unfamiliar to them
will find these maps useful and convenient guides.
Public Improvements of many descriptions will be served by these
maps. County commissioners and township trustees will find them use
ful in projecting new roads. They would form the basal maps for a
general scheme of improvement of the existing highways of the State,
should this latter be taken up at some future time. They will be useful
for laying out ditches, and improving drainage generally.
Scientific questions of many kinds will be studied by the aid of these
maps. In fact the origin of the topographic work of the United States
Geological Survey was to furnish a basal map for the study of the
geology of the country. Following the topographic survey of the eastern
portion of the State the Federal Survey has already made a study of the
Cadiz oil field at its own expense and has published a bulletin concerning
the same. A biological survey of the State can be better made by these
maps. The problems of deforestation and its remedy, will be studied
by the Forestry Division of the Agricultural Department, after these
maps are available.
Surveyors generally over the State will be benefited because the tri
angulation and primary traverse points will form base lines upon which

to make cadastral surveys for taxation and other purposes. The numer
ous bench marks over the State will be very useful for determining ele
vations for laying out ditches, highways, and many other improvements.
The elevation of any point above sea level can be readily and accurately
determined, and in future surveyors will refer all elevations to the same
reference plane. At the present time the elevations of one town with
reference to those of another, frequently cannot even be guessed, because
one city surveyor assumes an arbitrary datum, while the second may
make a radically different choice. The bench marks of the Geological
Survey will not only render the elevations of adjoining towns comparable,
but will make them comparable with adjoining counties and even ad
joining States, for the bench marks in every State in the Union will be
referred to one universal reference surface, the level of the sea.
Since a brief account of the methods used by the Survey will tend to
a more extended and intelligent use of the maps, such an account is
herewith appended.

METHOD OF SURVEYING AND MAPPING.

The United States Geological Survey was organized in 1882 and
has shown itself to be one of the most aggressive and progressive bu
reaus of our national government. Originally organized to carry on
geological investigations, which involved making preliminary small scale
topographic maps -for basal purposes, its organization has grown to in
clude a completely organized Hydrographic Branch, and a Publication
Branch which in addition to other work of a high order engraves and
prints the sheets of the Topographic Branch handsomely in colors. The
scope of the Geological and Topographic Branches has been greatly
widened since the inception of the bureau, necessitating likewise extensive
growth in the remaining or Administrative Branch of the Survey. From
somewhat crude beginnings in 1882 the Topographic Branch, under
which the work in Ohio is done, has developed its present improved
methods as laid down in Monograph XXII and the manual of May 1,
1903, entitled Instructions Relating to the Work of the United States
Geological Survey, which were prepared under the supervision of the
Director. The following brief explanations were taken chiefly from
these sources, and any one who is especially interested is referred to these
two volumes, where he will find a very complete and comprehensive sys
tem developed.The Federal Survey has undertaken to make a contour topographic
map of the entire country. It is prosecuting this work at many places, as
previously stated, with the co-operation of the local governments. The
whole country is divided into districts, and each year a number of these
are completed. These districts might be limited for convenience by
natural boundaries, as in the case of counties or similar civil divisions, but
it has been found far more convenient to divide the total area into quad
rangles, by parallels of latitude and meridians of longitude, and map these
one by one. This system has accordingly been adopted, and it has great
advantages in the way of uniformity of size of, and ease of reference to
the different sheets.
To produce an accurate and trustworthy map of any extended area,
such as a state, the position of the tract upon the earth's spheroid must
first be fixed. To do this the geographic position of a large number of
points within the area must be accurately determined. This may be done
in three ways : by astronomical observation ; by extending triangulation
from points whose positions have been previously accurately determined
or assumed ; and by primary traverse, which consists in determining new

^O PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE
positions (from old ones assumed or previously determined) by a series
of linear measurements combined with angles, similar to the method of
running a railroad preliminary line with a transit. These three oper
ations, together with the careful determination of a system of elevations,
are embraced in the term "primary control."
All three methods of primary control have been used in Ohio, the first
only sparingly, however. The latitude and longitude of a monument
in the Capitol grounds at Columbus was determined astronomically by
the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey during their transconti
nental survey. A base line was' measured and, a system of triangulation
was expanded in the vicinity, by the present Survey, and connected with
this monument, and later it was joined by primary traverse lines to the
triangulation systems across the northern and southern parts of the State.
These later connections showed the point thus determined at Columbus
to have a station error of considerable amount. Since this was the only
instance of astronomical methods employed to determine position and of
base line measurement, no detailed account of these methods will be here
given. See Monograph XXII for such an account.
Primary Traverse and Primary Triangulation are the two methods
used to cover practically the whole State with horizontal control. The
latter method is capable of much the greater refinement, but becomes too
expensive to use in a flat country like the northwestern portion of Ohio,
on account of the expense of erecting signals. The eastern and south
eastern portions of the State, or approximately that part lying east of a
line drawn from Cleveland through Columbus, lie favorably for tri
angulating and therefore will be covered with this form of control. As
early as 1889 the Coast and Geodetic Survey had carried a belt of trian
gulation across the State following closely the 39th parallel of latitude.
Previous to this the United States Lake Survey extended a system of
triangulation across the northern part of the State closely following the
shore of Lake Erie. The accuracy of these two systems is shown by the
fact that, although conducted independently and by different organizations
at different times, after being separate for a distance of several hundred
miles, when connected in eastern Ohio, they showed a discrepancy of only
twenty-seven feet in determining a given position; and, quite a part of
this discrepancy is to be charged to the connecting system. These two
Federal Surveys, therefore, have furnished an excellent base upon which
to found the remaining primary control in Ohio, and the United States
Geological Survey in furnishing supplementary control has used and will
use their work as basal.
The Primary Triangulation of the Geological Survey is carried on
under the following regulations. Theodolites with eight-inch circles
reading by micrometer eye-piece to two seconds of arc, are used. In
struments are always placed over the center of stations if possible, to
avoid reduction to center, and are protected from sun and wind by suit-

CO-OPERATIVE TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY. 29
able means. In measuring angles extra precautions are taken to guard
against such sources of error, as micrometer run, error of adjustment,
and eccentricity, and no angle is considered as finally determined that has
not been measured on at least five different parts of the circle. The
error of closure of any triangle in primary schemes must not exceed five
seconds of arc.
In connection with the triangulation in each general locality ob
servations on Polaris for azimuth must be made on two nights from at
least two stations. These observations to consist of not fewer than six
angles between mark and star with telescope direct and reversed. Great
care must be taken in adjusting and leveling horizontal axis of the
theodolite, and watch error must be determined by telegraphic compari
son of time, or by astronomical observation. The mark must consist of a
small box with a slit one-eighth of an inch wide placed at a distance of
not less than one mile from the instrument. A systematic form of field
notes is enjoined for these observations, as well as for all the other field
observations. Primary Traverse. The outfit for Primary Traverse consists of a
high grade engineers's transit reading at least to half minutes, a
300-foot steel tape, a spring balance, one 100-foot steel tape,
two thermometers, four hand recorders, two flag poles, and a
good watch. The party should consist of one chief, as transitman, one
recorder, two tapemen, and one flagman. At each station the transitman
should proceed as follows : Set telescope on rear flag, read both verniers,
transit telescope, set on front flag and read both verniers. Shift the
circle and re-measure the same angle with telescope reversed. If the
two angles thus measured differ more than 60 seconds, repeat the opera
tion. Railroads furnish the most advantageous routes for primary traverse,
because of their moderate grades and favorable alignment. Along these
the front tapeman puts a twenty-pound tension on the front end of the 300-
foot tape with a spring balance. He makes a chalk mark on the rail,
or places a tack or nail on a tie. stake, or measuring board, under the
300-foot mark for full tape lengths, and under the fractional graduation at
stations. The distance which he records is checked by the transitman and
by at least one other member of the party. The tack or nail is left sur
rounded by conspicuous chalk marks, and the same process is continued,
The rails should be 'counted by two other members of the party, who
also check the number of tape lengths at the first opportunity. Each sta
tion should be marked by a small-headed tack or pricking needle through
a piece of white paper or cloth, its number being chalked on the rail near
where it falls. The distance between stations should be limited to the
visibility of the flag pole. Rails or center of track must not be used as
alignment sights. ,

30 PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE
Along highways or open country the tape should be kept level. On
steep slopes a plumb-bob must be used, either to bring the tape vertically
over an established point or to establish a new one, as the case may be.
Tape lengths are marked on the measuring board, tie, or stake with' the
pricking needle. Where slopes are so steep as to render the leveling of
the 300-foot tape impracticable a shorter tape must be used. The chief
and two other members of the party must keep an independent count of
the tape lengths. The temperature of the tape must be taken every hour
of the day. Stations should be made at even tape lengths when prac
ticable. Observations for azimuth should be made on Polaris at the end of
each day's work when practicable, and azimuth stations not to be more
than ten miles apart except on long tangents. These observations and
reductions are made in accordance with the method explained in the
latest manual of the General Land Office, and are to consist of not less
than three direct and three reverse measures on three parts of the circle
between Polaris and azimuth mark. The watch to be compared with
standard time often enough to determine its error within ten seconds.
If the traversed line is very crooked the instrument should be provided for
making solar azimuth observations, and these made twice each day in
addition to Polaris observations.
Two permanent marks, either copper bolts or the standard bronze
tablets of the Survey, should be placed not less than 500 feet apart at the
beginning and end of each line, also at prominent junction points from
which other primary control lines may be started. Careful records, ac
cording to prescribed forms, are to be kept of all operations, and the
positions of many topographic features on the line of the work are also
recorded. Spirit Leveling. After the determination of the horizontal or geo
graphical position of a system of points by any of the methods preceding,
the determination of the elevations of these points above mean sea level
completes the work of primary control. These elevations are determined
by spirit leveling, and this work is entirely independent of the work
of horizontal control ; it may precede, be carried on simultaneously
with, or follow the latter. In connection with the transcontinental trian
gulation belt, the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey carried a line
cf precise levels across the country. This line crossed Ohio along the
line of the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern railroad from Parkers-
burg through Chillicothe to Cincinnati. The United States Lake Sur
vey has also carried a line of precise levels, largely by means of water
gages, from Sandy Hook up the Hudson to Lake Ontario, and along the
line of the Great Lakes to Duluth. The United States Engineers have
carried a line of careful levels from Pittsburg along the Ohio River to Cin
cinnati. The Pennsylvania railroad has carried precise levels from the
sea-board westward through Pennsylvania and Ohio, along the Pittsburg,

CO-OPERATIVE TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY. 31
Fort Wayne and Chicago railroad in the latter State. Finally the Coast
and Geodetic Survey in 1899 connected its own transcontinental line with
the Lake Survey levels by a line of precise levels from Gibralter, Michi
gan, through Toledo and along the Miami and Erie Canal to Cincinnati.
All these lines have thus furnished excellent basal control for the subse
quent spirit leveling of the Co-operative Survey in this State.
The United States Geological Survey has been constantly supple
menting the foregoing systems by new connecting lines until in the spring
of 1903 enough data were accumulated to enable a grand adjustment of
the network of precise levels to be made by the United States Coast and
Geodetic Survey. This adjustment includes the precise levels of the
Mississippi River Commission, and of other organizations, and the re
sulting determinations of the data in Ohio are probably now within a few
tenths of a foot of the true elevation above mean sea at Sandy Hook,
New York.
The spirit leveling of the present Survey is carried on under the
following regulations. For each general locality, the elevation of one
point is very carefully determined and taken as the datum for that lo
cality. Thus, for Columbus, the elevation of an aluminum tablet, set in
the Franklin county court house, was carefully determined by a double
line of precise levels from the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey
bench mark at Chillicothe. All bench marks and other elevations in the
vicinity of Columbus were determined by level circuits starting from
and checking on this court house bench mark, and the bench marks so
set were stamped with the word "Columbus," thus indicating the datum
to which they were referred. In addition to the word "Columbus," the
elevation to the nearest foot was stamped on each bench mark. Eleva
tions cannot be more closely noted on the monuments owing to the fact
that during the early part of any extensive survey the determined eleva-^
tions of many of the data must necessarily be subject to considerable
change by later and increasingly more accurate adjustments. In any
case, the exact elevations, to one-thousandth of a foot, given by the latest
adjustments, may be had from the published lists.
In the West two permanent bench marks are set in each township
or equivalent area; east of the 95th meridian at least one is to be set to
each 36 square miles of area. These bench marks are bronze or aluminum
tablets firmly cemented into masonry foundations of buildings, in bridge
abutments, or some other permanent structure. They will prove ex
tremely valuable to the surveyors and engineers of the State. The in
strument used in setting them, as indeed in all the precise and flying
levels of the Survey, is the ordinary Engineer's Wye level. Careful in
structions covering every detail of the work are contained in the manual
of instructions, and forms of record for each class of work are pre
scribed. The error of closure allowed in the circuits of precise leveling
for establishing bench marks is, in feet, not to exceed 0.05 times the
square root of the distance run in miles.

32 PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE
At least two primary triangulation points or two primary control
lines have previously been required to be established within a fifteen-
minute quadrangle before secondary control may begin on it, and the
sketching be completed. This requirement has now been raised in the
case of primary traverse so that, at present, primary control lines must
traverse two sides of a sheet, and frequently all four sides are so trav
ersed. Since primary control must undergo adjustment at the end of
the season before being plotted on a topographic sheet, the necessity of
keeping it well in advance of the secondary work is apparent. The pri
mary control locates the quadrangle geographically on the earth's sur
face, the secondary control locates all prominent points interior to the
sheet with reference to- the primary control. Since, after adjustment,
the latter is assumed to be absolutely correct, it is evident that a greater
relative error may be permitted in the secondary work. The above re
quirements satisfied, secondary control is begun.
Secondary Control comprises secondary triangulation by transit or
plane-table, usually the latter, secondary traverse by stadia or by buggy,
and flying levels. These will be passed over very briefly, as a full ex
planation of them may be found in the Survey publications already noted,
or in a number of text-books on surveying.
In hilly country like southeastern Ohio, numerous points, such as
churches, lone trees, hill tops, etc., are located by plane-table triangula
tion, the instrument occupying first the primary stations, and later sec
ondary stations of its own determining, and frequently points located by
resection or the- three point problem. The plane-table employed in this
work by the Survey is admirably simple in design, and is provided with
telescopic alidade with vertical arc and stadia wires which prove ex
tremely useful for locating supplementary points and elevations. The
plane-table is the topographers instrument par excellence except for the
one drawback of exposing the map to the moisture of foggy mornings or
showers. After the quadrangle is well spotted with secondary locations, the
roads may be traversed by buggy, and frequent ties made to these sec
ondary points. In buggy traverse the wheel is the distance measurer, and
a small sight alidade placed on the small plane-table board is the direction
indicator. A magnetic needle attached to the board is also provided
as a means of orienting. The circumference of the buggy wheel being
known, its revolutions are counted by means of odometer or by the
traverseman, for distances. The results that may be thus obtained are
surprisingly accurate to an initiate. Of course the circuits will not exactly
close, and the traverseman is required to clearly show the discrepancy;
After a number of these have been run connecting on themselves of
Each other, they are adjusted and transferred to the topographer's
sketch sheet.

CO-OPERATIVE TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY. 33
Buggy traverse is also used in connection with primary traverse in
flat country, except that here it constitutes the bulk of the secondary hor
izontal control. The traverseman, in addition, locates many prominent
topographic features along the road by means of intersections. When
streams or ridges are not traversed by highways, they may be traversed
by stadia lines.
Before, or along with, the buggy traversing the flying levels, so
called, are run. They are usually run along the highways and consist
of determining the elevations of road crossings, summits, depressions
such as stream crossings, and other prominent points. An engineer's
wye level is used for this purpose and circuits are run always closing on
themselves or on each other ; but since these elevations are for sketching
purposes, the same degree of accuracy as for bench mark levels is not re
quired. The frequent elevations thus determined are painted on adjacent
fences at the roadside opposite the point, on telegraph poles, or wherever
they will be readily seen by the contour sketcher who is to follow.
Topographic Sketching. After the secondary horizontal and vertical
control is established and adjusted, the sketching of the contours and
remaining topography follows. Contour sketching requires a trained eye
and should be done by a person of some years' experience, who is ordinar
ily the chief of the party. Before beginning the sketching in the field he
avails himself of all the maps, surveys, and other information obtainable
concerning the sheet, in addition to that gathered by his own men. Con
tour sketching is done on the plane-table with telescopic alidade, and the
instrument occupies many points determined by plane triangulation, or
traverse, or both, the topographer being assisted in tracing the contours
by the numerous elevations along the roadside. The scale of the pub
lished maps is i :62,5oo or about one inch to the mile. The smallest dis
tance, therefore, that can be scaled on the map is about 50 feet. The
topographer, therefore, must locate his points within this distance of
their true position. To more easily accomplish this the field sheets are
sketched to a larger scale than the published maps. A scale of 1 : 45,000,
or about one inch to 4,000 feet, is used for the field sketches, including
buggy traverse sheets.
At the close of the field season the contour maps are drafted and
prepared for engraving in the Washington office. The work of draft
ing consists of inking in the drainage, culture, and contours, and of let
tering the topographic features. Since three separate engravings on
copper have to be made for each quadrangle, one for drainage printed in
blue, one for relief printed in brown, and one for culture printed in
black, the disposition of the lettering requires extreme care. Before
being submitted for engraving the work is carefully edited. Names of
localities are examined and official spelling adopted for such names as
have been passed upon by the United States Board on Geographic Names,
and) other accepted authorities. All other features and symbols are
edited according to an established standard code.

34 PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE
The engraving and printing complete is done by the Publication
Branch of the Survey at its Washington office, and is of unequaled clear
ness and elegance. The Federal Bureau assumes complete control of
printing and distributing all maps of its making, no matter in what State,
and this is a wise provision, because few States can hope to maintain at
present such efficient publication facilities, and, in addition, the small fee
charged for each sheet prevents wasteful distribution. This fee cov
ering the cost of production, is five cents per sheet, unless one hundred are
ordered in one order, in which case they are two cents apiece. They are
obtained by enclosing postoffice money order, not stamps, addressed to
the Director, U. S. Geological Survey, Washington, D. C, and should
be called for by the name adopted for each sheet. The name chosen is
usually that of the most prominent feature within the quadrangle.

CO-OPERATIVE TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY.

INSPECTION.

Finding the task of examining the results submitted by the Geological
Survey burdensome and of a nature requiring the services of a person
experienced in surveying and mapping, you appointed on August 2, 1901,
Professor C. N. Brown to look after the interests of the State. The
untimely death of Professor Brown on March 6, 1902, deprived the State
of an extremely useful and efficient servant, but not before he had made
a lasting impression on the work.
The Geological Survey has shown itself hospitable to suggestions,
and during his short term of service Prof. Brown suggested a number of
valuable improvements which were adopted, one of which was the num
bering of the sections on the maps. To one not acquainted with the
State this may seem of minor importance; but in Ohio practically every
system used in other states in laying out land was employed, and in
addition some systems which have never been tried elsewhere, have been
used here. The numbering of the sections and the marking of the boundaries
of these special districts will enable any one to readily follow the various
systems used by the Government surveyors when the lands of the State
were first laid out.
The United States Geological Survey officials, one and all, have
afforded every opportunity for the inspection of the work, and I desire
here to thank them for the courteous treatment received. The best of
good feeling has prevailed between State and Federal authorities, and
hearty co-operation has marked the progress of the survey from its be
ginning. I take pleasure in stating that the Federal officials have shown them
selves zealous in faithfully carrying out the provisions of the agreement,
and that in all but a few minor instances, where temporarily impracticable,
the terms of the agreement have been strictly complied with. Further,
the Survey officials have done more in some instances than required to do
by the terms of the agreement. The agreement for the season of 1901
calls for a contour interval of 20 feet, but the sheets in the northwest
portion of the State were surveyed during that season to a 10 foot contour
interval. The Survey also went to the expense of engraving a plate in an
additional color to represent section numbers on these sheets. Engraved
proofs showing outlines of wooded areas on the sheets thus far surveyed,
have not yet been furnished, for the reason that the Geological Survey

36

PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE

is considering the advisability of printing the outlines of wooded areas
as a green overlay upon all the finished maps, and if this is done it will
be a much more valuable arrangement for the general public, than the
arrangement as per agreement.
The work of inspection has consisted of investigating the methods
and execution of the Survey, of carefully examining the photolithographic
and engraved proofs submitted, of examining and checking the expense
vouchers to be paid, and of collecting and editing the ¦ resulting data,
aside from maps, for State publication. The Federal survey also pub
lishes these data from time to time in annual reports and special bulletins.
Regarding the methods of the survey, would say that they are efficient
and economical for the purposes intended, namely : the production of a
map to scale i :62,5oo. The long experience of the Federal bureau has
enabled it to perfect its organization, and to select methods best adapted
to the two distinct kinds of topography, encountered in the State. A de
scription of these methods has been given in the foregoing pages.
Three field parties have been visited and the results of buggy traverse,
plane-table triangulation, and flying levels noted. These results showed
that the methods employed enabled errors to be readily kept well within
the allowable limits laid down by the Survey manual of instructions.
The work of primary control has not yet been examined. The
greater portion of this has been executed before your present representa
tive could inspect the same. It is based, however, upon the best basal
control possible to obtain, that of the United States Coast and Geodetic
Survey triangulation system, and that of the United States Lake Survey.
The work of these two organizations has been connected by the United
States Geological Survey by no less than three lines of primary triangu
lation or traverse across the State which enables all work now to be
reduced to United States standard geodetic datum.
More primary control is used for each sheet now, than at the be
ginning of the survey. Formerly primary traverse on two sides of the
sheet was deemed sufficient. A recent innovation by the Federal Geo
logical Survey is the use of primary traverse on the four sides of each
sheet. Seventeen engraved sheets have been carefully examined. The en
graved maps of the United States Geological Survey represent probably
the most elegant work, in the way of map printing, done in this country,
and few indeed are the flaws that can be found in their drafting, engrav
ing, and printing. However, anyone with large experience knows how
easy it is to occasionally print an erroneous figure, or omit some useful
information from a map, especially where the aggregate of the infor
mation published is very great, and such a person will welcome cor
rections or useful additions to his work. Some few of such amendments
have been made and will receive consideration in the next editions. It
was thought not wise to delay the publication of the 1901 sheets, to make

CO-OPERATIVE TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY. 37
these improvements now, in order that the results of the surveys of 1901
might be immediately available.
The vouchers forwarded by the chief clerk of the United States
Geological Survey have been uniformly correct, no inaccuracies worthy
of mention having been found. In some cases where it appeared that
a mistake might have been made in the rates for subsistence, written in
quiries have brought responses confirming the statements of the sub-
vouchers. The expenditures by the State in some months have greatly
exceeded those of the Geological Survey, and at other times those of the
latter have been greatly in excess. Such arrangements have been will
ingly made by both parties to co-operation, in order that the work might
at no time be delayed. The expenses on both sides are balanced on June
30th of each year.
In January last a visit was made to the Washington office and the
work of drafting, editing, engraving, and printing inspected. Topo
graphic sheets mapped by the Geological Survey in every part "of the
United States are engraved in this office. They are listed for engraving
in the order of completion, and, owing to the large number of sheets
turned into the office, the work of engraving is not able to keep pace with
that of surveying. Consequently, a quadrangle mapped one season is
usually not ready for printing until the second season following. The
care with which the drafting, engraving, editing, and printing is done,
would of necessity delay the publication nearly one year after completion
of the surveying.

38 PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE

RECOMMENDATIONS.

The people of the State are to be congratulated upon the good
progress made toward securing a complete map of the State, and should
see to it that the consummation of their wishes is not delayed. The ap
propriations thus far made have secured the expected results and there
is thus far no reason for changing the original estimate. It is estimated
that $25,000 per year for five years will complete the survey at the expira
tion of- that time.
Good results are already following the work done. On another page
is recounted the saving of $85,000 to one enterprise by the publication
of one sheet alone. Elsewhere is noted the reconnoissance of oil fields
following the topographic work. The Federal Survey has also in prep
aration a Geological atlas of one quadrangle. Most important of all,
however, twenty-eight sheets covering over 5,000 square miles of the
State have been handsomely engraved and printed and are now available ;
twenty-four others have been surveyed and are being prepared for en
graving while other sheets still are partly surveyed, and much primary
contral has been done. Last but not least the elevations and geographical
positions of numerous permanent marks in various parts of the State have
been determined. These results are tabulated in the appendices to this
report. The United Sates Geological Survey upon the completion of the
work will probably publish in convenient and concise form a descriptive
list of all such marks. Partial lists of this kind have already been pub
lished for other districts by the Federal Survey. If this is not done by
the National Survey, it should be done by the State.
After the completion of the work the final adjustment of all bench
marks can be made to probably within a tenth of a foot of the elevation
above mean sea level, and these finally adjusted elevations should be
stamped upon the permanent monuments set during the survey. Until
such time, their elevations can be known from the lists published from
time to time by Federal and State authorities, which publications are for
gratuituous distribution.
After those quadrangles which are most densely populated, the sec
tion of the State containing our unexploited mineral wealth should receive
priority in order of survey, but this is not a necessity ; if there are special
needs of the State to be served these may receive prior consideration. It

CO-OPERATIVE TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY. 39
is necessary, however, to select for survey in any season quadrangles that
have previously been primarily controlled.
It is recommended that the remaining appropriations be made uni
formly $25,000 per year. Thus far no two have been alike. $25,000
was appropriated for 1901, $20,000 for 1902, and $30,000 for the work
of 1903. This procedure to some extent disorganizes the personnel of the
survey. The remaining work can be executed to somewhat better ad
vantage if a uniform number of skilled topographers with their parties can
be engaged each season.

AGREEMENT
Between the Governor of Ohio and the Director of the United States Geological Survey
for the execution of the Co-operative Topographic Survey of the State of Ohio,
as provided for in An Act (H. B. No. 904) Passed April 16th, 1900.
(1) The preparation of the map shall be under the supervision of the Director of
the United States Geological Survey, who shall determine the methods of survey and
map construction.

44 CO-OPERATIVE TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY.
(2) The order in which, in point of priority, different parts of the state shall be
surveyed, shall be agreed upon in detail by the Governor of Ohio and the Director of
the United States Geological Survey.
(3) The work shall be based upon the triangulation of the United States Coast
and Geodetic Survey, and the United States Lake Survey, and wherever such primary
control is deficient it shall be supplemented by the Co-operative Topographic Survey,
which shall permanently monument all important positions.
(4) The survey shall be executed in a manner sufficiently elaborate to prepare a
map upon a scale of 1:62,500 exhibiting the hydrography, hypsography and public
culture, and all town and county boundary lines and' township land lines, as marked upon
the ground at the time of its completion in form similar to sheets already completed in
this state. The preliminary field maps shall be on such scale as the Director of the
United States Geological Survey may select to secure accuracy in the construction
of the final map.
(5) The hypsography shall be shown by contour lines with a vertical interval
of twenty feet.
(6) The heights of important points shall be determined and furnished to the
Governor of the state.
(7) The outlines of wooded areas shall be represented upon proofs of the en
graved map to be furnished the Governor of the state.
(8) For convenience the United States Geological Survey shall, during the
progress of the field work, pay the salaries of the permanent employes engaged there
on, while the traveling, subsistence and field expenses shall be paid for the same time
by the state. For office work on the map the salaries shall be divided between the two
agreeing parties in such a, way as to equalize all expenses, provided that the total cost
to the State of Ohio of the field and office work shall not be more than twenty-five
thousand dollars ($25,000.00), and provided that the United States Geological Survey
shall expend an equal amount upon the work.
(9) During the progress of the work, free access to the field sheets and records
of the topographers and draftsmen shall be afforded the Governor or his represen
tative for examination and criticism; and should the said Governor of Ohio deem
that the work is not being executed in a satisfactory manner, then he may, on formal
notice, terminate this agreement.
(10) The resulting map shall fully recognize the co-operation of the State of Ohio.
(11) When the work is completed, the Governor of the State of Ohio shall be
furnished by the United States Geological Survey with photographic copies of the
manuscript sheets; and when the engraving is completed and at all times thereafter
when desired, he shall be furnished by the said survey with transfers from copper
plates of the map for use in printing editions of said maps. Geo. K. Nash,

* In 1883 and 1890, Messrs. Shumway and Fletcher surveyed Huntington sheet, scale 1:125,000, contour interval 100 feet. The Ohio portion of this, 49 square
miles, was resurveyed on the Guyandot sheet on the larger scale, 1:62,500, contour interval 20 feet, by Mr. Morrill in 1901. The Huntington sheet was pub
lished and engraved.
t In 1901 the Kenova sheet was partially mapped on the scale of 1:125,000, contour interval 100 feet, and in the same year the Ohio portion of this, 40 square
miles, was mapped on the scale of 1:62,500, contour interval 20 feet, by Mr. Morrill, and was given the name of Ceredo quadrangle. The Kenova sheet, covering
portions of West Virginia and Kentucky, was not completed.
X The survey of the Ironton sheet was commenced in 1897 on a scale of 1:125,000 and with a contour interval of 50 feet. That sheet was not completed, nor
has it been engraved, for on the following year, 1898, the southeast quarter of that sheet was resurveyed on the larger scale of 1:62,500, contour intervalj20 feet, and
has been published under the name of the Ironton sheet. On the original mapping 285 square miles were sketched, j ^d

LIST OF PRIMARY TRIANGULATION STATIONS.

PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE

CENTRAL SECTION OF TOPOGRAPHY.
OHIO.
TRIANGULATION STATIONS.
Postions in eastern Ohio published herewith result from the field
work of Messrs. W. T. Griswold in 1900, A. H. Thompson in 1901, and
G. T. Hawkins and S. S. Gannett in 1902.
Previous to the latter date positions depended upon Maryland
Heights and Sugar Loaf stations of the United States Coast and Geo
detic Survey, near Harpers Ferry, W. Va., but during the season of
1902 Mr. Gannett extended a belt of triangulati'on from Wray-Gebhardt
stations in the transcontinental belt of United States Coast and Geodetic
Survey near Huntington, W. Va., up the Ohio River and connected with
previous work near Parker sburg, W. Va.
The discrepancy in latitude and longitude was distributed arbitrarily
so as not to disturb figure adjustments, and has been applied so as to
reduce all positions to the U. S. standard datum as derived from Wray-
Gebhardt. BOND, ATHENS COUNTY.
On a flat ridge covered with fruit trees in Carthage township, 7
miles southeast of Guysville. Station is on eastern edge of summit,
about 4 feet lower and 200 feet east of highest point, on land owned by
William Bond, who lives 300 yards south.
Station mark : A sandstone post 38 by 9 by 9 inches set 36 inches in
the ground, in the center of top of which is cemented a bronze triangula
tion tablet, "Ohio." [Latitude 39° 14' 17.07". Longitude 81° 51' 10.74".]

PRIMARY TRAVERSE.
One hundred and ten geographic positions in northeastern Ohio
were determined by primary traverse during October, November and
December, 1900, by Mr. E. L. McNair, and based- upon three stations
of the United States Lake Survey — Claridon, Warrensville, and Grafton.
Circuits were completed as follows : I. Southward from Warrensville
triangulation station to Hudson; thence to Ravenna; thence by highways
northward to Claridon triangulation station. II. Southward from Hud
son, located by first traverse, to Akron ; westward to Sterling ; thence
northward to Grafton triangulation station. III. Westward from Ster
ling to the eighty-second meridian; thence southward to Wooster, east
ward to Canton; thence northward, closing on Akron. A spur line was
run from Wooster southwestward 4 miles to Millbrook. IV. South
ward from Ravenna to Bayard, thence westward to Canton. V. East
ward from Bayard to 'Kensington triangulation station, which was located
through a series of triangles 270 miles in axial length, based upon Mary
land Heights, Sugar Loaf stations, and on United States standard datum
of the Coast and Geodetic Survey.
The position of Kensington triangulation station, as computed
through the traverse from the lake survey stations compared with that
computed through the triangulation upon the United States standard
datum, shows a discrepancy of 23 feet in latitude and 15 feet in longitude,

the latter giving a location north and west of the former. As this is a
connection between two entirely different systems of triangulation the
discrepancy is very small and is partly attributable to station error and
partly to errors in the traverse lines and triangulation. This error was
distributed in the traverse line between Bayard and Kensington.

PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE

PRIMARY TRAVERSE.
During the month of October, 1901, Mr. Sledge Tatum, topogra
pher, controlled, by means of 140 miles of primary traverse, four quad
rangles in the north-central portion of the State, in Lorain, Huron, Me
dina, Richland, Ashland and. Wayne counties.
The traverse is based upon Camden and Townsend triangulation
stations of the United States Lake Survey and on points near Millbrook
and Burbank, established in 1900 from primary traverse by Mr. E. L.
McNair.

CENTRAL SECTION OF TOPOGRAPHY.
OHIO.
PRIMARY TRAVERSE.
Twenty-seven 15-minute quadrangles, covering portions of 18 counties
in the northwestern portion of the State, were controlled or partly con
trolled by 160 miles of primary traverse along railways by Mr. George
T. Hawkins, topographer, supplemented by 700 miles of traverse run by
Mr. J. R. Ellis along highways, following meridians and parallels as
closely as practicable.
The following geographic positions were determined from primary
traverse in 1901 by Mr. George T. Hawkins, topographer.
The line starts from a point in the western part of the city of Toledo
and follows the Lake Shore Railway to Edgerton, thence southwest via
highways to the Indiana-Ohio State line, thence south along the State
line to the Findlay, Fort Wayne and Western Railway, thence along that
railway to Findlay, where it connects with a line run in 1900.
Geographic positions along Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway, between Toledo
and Edgerton.

(London, South Charleston, Springfield, Dayton, Trotwood, Eaton,
Greenville, St. Henry, Colina and Van Wert Quadrangles.)
The following geographic positions were determined from primary
traverse in 1903 by Mr. George T. Hawkins, topographer. The line
starts from the adjusted position of crossing of the Pennsylvania and
Toledo and Ohio Railways about 5 miles northwest of Columbus, follows
Toledo and Ohio Railways southeast to edge of Columbus, thence along
Pennsylvania Railway to London, thence along Big Four Railway to
Springfield, thence along the Erie and Big Four Railways to Dayton,
thence along the Pennsylvania Railway and the Dayton and Union Rail
road to Greenville, thence along Cincinnati Northern Railroad to Haviland
and connected with line run in 1901.

PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE

PRIMARY TRAVERSE.
ASHTABULA COUNTY.
(Jefferson and Andover Quadrangles.)
The following geographic positions were determined by primary
traverse run by Mr. C. B. Kendall, field assistant, during the summer of
1903. The line begins at Andover triangulation station of the United
States Lake Survey, near Andover, and runs northwesterly along Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern Railway to Jefferson, thence west via high
ways to the 81st meridian, thence south to parallel 41" 30', thence east to
milepost 33 on Ohio-Pennsylvania State line. A line was run south from
Jefferson along meridian 80 ° 45' to parallel 41° 30'; and another east
from Jefferson to mile post 15 on Ohio-Pennsylvania State line. A tie
v/as also made to United States Lake Survey station Thompson in north
eastern Geauga county, and Mesopotamia in northwestern Trumbull
county. Positions are given on the United States standard datum.

ELEVATIONS OF PERMANENT BENCH MARKS
AND OTHER POINTS IN OHIO, REFERRED
TO MEAN SEA LEVEL AT SANDY
HOOK, NEW YORK.

The elevations in the following lists are in accordance with the
latest adjustment of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey;
namely : that made in the spring of 1903, and replace all elevations here
tofore published for Ohio by the United States Geological Survey in the
21st, 20th, 19th and all prior annual reports, and in Bulletin No. 185, is

ATHENS AND IRONTON DATUM.

JACKSON, SCIOTO, LAWRENCE AND GALLIA COUNTIES.
(Hamden, Oak Hill, Scioto, Greenup, Ironton, Gallipolis and Point
Pleasant Quadrangles.)
The elevations in the following list were published in the Appendix
to the 19th Annual Report of the U. S. Geol. Survey, and are now based
upon a bench mark of the transcontinental line of precise levels of the
United States Coast and Geodetic Survey at Hamden postoffice, the eleva
tion of which by the 1903 adjustment is 706.380 feet above mean sea level,
and upon the bench mark of the United States Army Engineers at Point
Pleasant, W. Va., and upon bench mark "314 A" of the same bureau at
Catlettsburg, Ky., the elevation of the latter being 548.690 feet above
mean sea level. A correction of 1.101 feet has been subtracted from the
elevations as previously published, excepting that the line, Hamden
Junction via Oak Hill crossing to Point Pleasant has been lowered .285
foot at Hamden, 1.101 feet at Oak Hill crossing and .925 foot at Point
Pleasant. The corrections for intermediate points having been inter
polated. Those bench marks which were set in 1897 were marked with the let
ter "I" referring to Ironton as datum. Those set in 1898 were marked
with the letter "A," referring to Athens, of the transcontinental line, as
the permanent datum. The marking" of bench marks set in 1897 and
stamped "I" is approximately 2 feet lower than the present published and
accepted heights of the same and those set in 1898 and marked "A" are
1 foot higher.
All of the above spirit leveling was done under the direction of Mr.
Hersey Munroe, topographer, by Mr. E. L. McNair, levelman. Feet.

CANTON AND CLEVELAND DATUM.

(Precise Leveling!)
CUYAHOGA, SUMMIT AND STARK COUNTIES.
(Cleveland, Akron and Canton Quadrangles.)
The elevations in the following list are the results of a line of pre
cise leveling connecting the Lake Survey Gage bench mark at Cleveland
with bench mark No. 'j'] at Canton of the Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne and Chi
cago Railroad between Pittsburg, Pa., and Lima, Ohio. This line and that
of the railroad company were included in the precise level net adjusted in
1903 by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, and these elevations result from
that adjustment which lowers the original elevation by this line 0.095
foot at Canton with respect to Cleveland. There has, therefore, been
0.095 foot correction distributed uniformly in proportion to the mileage.
The total length of the line is 59.7 miles and the total divergence between
the two simultaneous direct and reverse rodded lines is 0.076 foot.
The party outfit was similar to and the methods of leveling the same
as that in previous use.
The leveling was done during part of October and November, 1902,
by Mr. D. H. Baldwin, topographer in charge.
The permanent bench marks recovered on the Cleveland and Canton
quadrangles were marked respectively with the letters "CLEVELAND"
and "CANTON" and the figures of elevation obtained by the field results
of the primary lines which are one foot too high to accord with the mark

The elevations in the following list are based upon an aluminum tablet
in the court house at Columbus, Ohio, Marked "778 Columbus." The
elevation of this is accepted as 777.295 feet above mean sea level, derived
from Coast and Geodetic Survey bench mark "Q" at Chillicothe the ele
vation of which as determined by the adjustment in 1903 of precise leveling
is 638.182. The initial points upon which this leveling depends are bench
marks on the East and West Columbus quadrangles, see Appendix to the
21st Annual Report U. S. GeoJ. Survey, which gives all previous work in
this locality. The elevation there listed being lowered 0.300 feet.
The leveling on the Dublin and the Westerville quadrangles was done
under the direction of Mr. Wm. H. Griffin, topographer, in 1901 and 1902,
by Mr. C. H. Birdseye, levelman.
The leveling on the Delaware quadrangle was done in 1901 under the

PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE

TOLEDO DATUM.

WOOD, SANDUSKY, ERIE, HURON, SENECA, LORAIN AND HANCOCK COUNTIES.
' Bowling Green, Elmore, Fostoria, Findlay, Fremont, Bellevue, San
dusky and Vermillion Quadrangles.)
The elevations in the following list are based upon Coast and Geodetic
Survey bench mark "W" at Toledo, a copper bolt in the southwest side of
the United States Custom House building marked "U. S. C. & G. S." The
elevation of this by the adjustment of 1903, by that bureau, of precise level
ing, is 603.889 feet above mean sea level. The initial points upon which
these levels depend are other bench marks of the Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey on the precise line from Grafton, Mich., to Cincinnati, Ohio, and
this list is adjusted to accord with Cleveland datum through connection
at Brownhelm station. For other elevations in this locality see Appendix
to 2 1st annual report U. S. Geological Survey. The elevations there listed
are to be increased 0.806 foot to accord with corrected datum.
The leveling here listed was done in 1901. The double rodded con
trol line from Tontogany east to Old Woman Creek and remainder of
work on Fremont, Bellevue and Sandusky quadrangles was done under
the direction of Mr. Nat. Tyler, topographer, by Messrs. D. C. Wither-
spoon and A. C. Freundburg, levelmen.
The remainder of the work on the Bowling Green and Elmore, and
all leveling on the Fostoria and Findlay quadrangles was done under the
direction of Mr. C. E. Cooke, topographer, by Mr. J. A. Belford, levelman
and Duncan Hannegan, topographer.
The continuation of the double rodded line to Brownhelm and re
mainder of work on the Vermillion quadrangle was dont under the direc
tion of Mr. C. W. Goodlove, topographer, by Mr. Dennis D. Doty, level-
man. All permanent bench marks dependent on this datum are marked
with the letters "TOLEDO" in addition to the figures of elevation.

APPENDIX H
ORGANIZATION AND PERSONNEL OF THE SURVEY.

226 PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE

ORGANIZATION.

The United States Geological Survey was organized originally to
carry on work in geology, but it was found necessary to precede such work
in a district with a topographic map, and from this necessity and other
demands of extended character the topographic branch has grown to its
present extensive organization and efficiency. Five branches constitute
the Geological Survey, as follows :
Geologic Branch.
Topographic Branch.
Hydrographic Branch.
Publication Branch.
Administrative Branch.
The present work of surveying and mapping Ohio is carried on by
the Topographic, Publication, and Administrative Branches.
The Topographic Branch is divided into the following four divisions :
Division of Triangulation, having charge of primary control.
Division of Topography, having charge of the topographic surveying.
Office Work, comprising the drafting of the surveyed sheets.
Division of Geography and Forestry, at present doing no work in the
State. The expense of the work 'done in Ohio by this branch is shared
equally by the State and Federal Bureau.
The Publication Branch is divided into —
Division of Illustrations.
Photographic Laboratory.
Editorial Division.
Division of Engraving and Printing.
By the last two divisions the work of editing, engraving and printing
the maps is carried on, after they have been surveyed and drafted. The
expense of the work done by these two divisions on Ohio maps is borne
entirely by the Federal Bureau.
The Administrative Branch has charge of disbursements and accounts
and the other miscellaneous work of administration. The expense of the
work on Ohio maps done by this branch is borne by the Federal Survey
with the exception of about $1,000 per year, withdrawn to cover expenses
of general supervision of the work of the surveying parties during the
field season.
For purposes of administration, the work of the Topographic Branch
in 1 90 1 was placed under section chiefs, the work in eastern Ohio being

CO-OPERATIVE TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY.

227

allotted to the Atlantic Section of Topography, Mr. H. M. Wilson, geogra
pher, in charge — and that of the flatter western and northwestern portion
being assigned to the Central Section, Mr. J. H. Renshawe, geographer,
in charge. In 1902 the work of the entire State was assigned to the
Central Section of Topography. June 30, 1903, a reorganization of the
Topographic Branch was effected by which the work of its administra
tion was divided between two sections, the Eastern and Western, and
Ohio was assigned to the Eastern Section of Topography, Mr. H. M.
Wilson, geographer, in charge. Under the section chiefs the work is car
ried on by parties in charge of skilled assistants of the rank of topogra
pher. A list of these and other permanent employees of the Survey, who
have been engaged in Ohio work is given below. The work of the topog
