A propos de cet article

Ex-library. Original publisher's maroon cloth binding with gilt lettering on spine (including number "573"). 6" x 9 1/4." 123 pages, complete. One black-and-white plate, complete. Index in back. Pages are virtually pristine and intact except for five blue ink library stamps on front and back pastedowns and front free endpaper and light age toning. Covers are very clean and intact except for light to moderate wear to extremities, fading along spine and near spine on front and back. A Very Good copy. This is Bulletin 573, a report by the United States Department of the Interior and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) about "spirit leveling" in Arizona from 1899-1915, inclusive. The Introduction clarifies that this work, Bulletin 573, contains both the earlier information about Arizona spirit leveling as found in Bulletin 463 and results from later work. The results in Bulletin 573 were changed to match a 1912 adjustment. The benchmarks used in Arizona spirit leveling are briefly described as having two forms, a circular bronze or aluminum tablet cemented in a drill hole in the rock wall of a public buildings, bridge abutment, or other architectural structure or, in the absence of rock or architecture, a wrought-iron post set into the ground. The numbers stamped on the benchmarks show the "elevations to the nearest foot as determined by the levelman." The Introduction also explains the differences between primary and precise leveling. The Table of Contents shows that some areas of Arizona were measured using primary leveling while others used precise leveling. The report is principally a list of "primary leveling" and "precise leveling" benchmarks with about a line or two per entry describing where that benchmark is located in Arizona. The list is alphabetical by location (town, landmark, and the like) within a specific quadrangle or region. Example entry under "Precise Leveling": "Red Rock Quadrangle. [Region] From Yuma west along Southern Pacific R. R. to New Mexico State line (part of line). [Constituent location] Picacho, 11 feeet northeast of track, in north corner of northwest concrete pier of water tank; aluminum tablet; Feet: 1,620.89." Example entry under "Primary Leveling": "Desert Well Quadrangle. [Region] From Highland Canal southeast along Florence Road to Desert Well. [Constituent location] Mesa, 6.25 miles southeast of, 60 feet south of road, on north side of giant cactus about 30 feet high; iron post stamped '1295 Phnx'; Feet: 1,295.679." Appendix A ("Elevations adjusted by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey from precise leveling") and Appendix B ("Secondary elevations") are in the back.…
