A propos de cet article

Ex-library. Original publisher's maroon cloth binding with gilt lettering on spine (including number "654"). 6" x 9 1/4." Ninety-one pages, complete. One black-and-white plate, complete. Index in back. Pages are virtually pristine and intact except for light age toning. Covers are very clean and intact overall but have a few scratches and spots of discoloration on back, fading or sunning on spine, and light to moderate wear to extremities. A Very Good copy. This is Bulletin 654, a report by the United States Department of the Interior and U.S. Geological Survey about "spirit leveling" in Nevada from 1897-1916, inclusive. The Introduction notes how all of the results of previous Nevada spirit leveling were published in Bulletin 488 and that results of later work are published herein. The benchmarks used in spirit leveling are briefly described as having two forms, "a circular bronze or aluminum tablet . cemented in a drill hole in solid rock in the wall of some public building, a bridge abutment, or other substantial masonry structure," or "where masonry or rock is not available . a hollow wrought-iron post . which is set about 3 feet in the ground." The numbers stamped on the benchmarks show the "elevations to the nearest foot as determined by the levelman." The report is principally a list of "precise and primary leveling" benchmarks with about a line or two per entry describing where that benchmark is located in Nevada. The list is alphabetical by location (town, landmark, and the like) within a specific quadrangle or region. Example entry: "[Region] From Lida east along road to fork east of county line, thence southeast to Seattle well. [Constituent location] Eagle City, 300 feet north of well, 125 feet north of road, in limestone ledge; aluminum tablet stamped '8'; Feet: 5,699.922." A brief Appendix about "Secondary Elevations" is in the back.…
