Synopsis

Uncover the precise measurements and methodical work behind early 20th-century geodesy. This government report presents the results of the United States Geological Survey’s primary triangulation and primary traverse conducted during the 1901–02 fiscal year. It compiles station data, meridian lines, and azimuths that anchored a vast framework of topographic control across the nation.

The book details the scope and process of the surveys, including where stations were established, how measurements were recorded, and the personnel who computed the results. It also features an illustration showing the condition of astronomic location and primary control, along with a letter of transmittal that situates the work within the Survey’s broader program.


  • Descriptions of triangulation stations and traverse work across multiple states and regions.

  • Notes on field methods, angular measurements, and meridian lines used to anchor topographic maps.

  • Historical context for how early 1900s geodetic data supported national mapping efforts.

  • Supplemental material including a map illustrating control conditions and location accuracy.



Ideal for readers of early American surveying, history of cartography, and the development of federal mapping programs.
