"Tapa MAPPING COMMITTEE

On Novembe r 10, 1983 theWisconsin Topographic MappingCommittee met with Mr. LarryBorgerding, Chief of the Mid­Continent Mapping Center and Mr.William Mengel, Chief of thePlans and Programs Office of theU.W. Geological Survey, Rolla,MO. They discussed a wideranging set of topics, which allhave an impact on the USGSJ smapping efforts in Wisconsin.The following are the moreimportant high! ights of thatmeeting:

a. Mr. Borgerding confirmed theproduction schedule forcompleting the 7.S-minutetopo quad series as reportedon page 1 of the October 1983

.JiLg.r:Jnu.n Mape i....!J..SL. Bu I let in".,He stated that all Wisconsin7.5) quads wi II be releasedfor printing by September of1984. Printing could becompleted by the end of 1984,but a mor e realistic datewould be February Or March of1985. USGS is asking theCommitteeJs assistance inplanning a state presentationupon completion.

b. The status of theIntermediate Series of theUSGS was reviewed. Thisseries of 1:10o,oOo-scalemapping at both 30 minute by1 de9ree quad and countyformat is approximately 6or.complete tor Wisconsin. Mr.Borgerding stated that theBureau of Census plans to usethis scale in a digital formfor the 1990 census and hasrequested the USGS tocomplete the boundary,transportation andhydrography plates in thequad ser i es for a I I the lower48 states and Hawai i by 1987.This production can have asignificant impact on futurecooperative efforts of theCommittee with USGS.

MAPPING COMMITTEE, cant.

c. Therevision program for 7.5-minute topo quads wasdiscussed. Currently theUSGS is using the NationalHigh-Altitude (aerialphotography) Program (NHAP)to verify quads as candidatesfor revision. Wisconsin nowhas total coverage of NHAPwhich places it in a goodposition for schedulingrev i S ions. Cur rent I y themagenta colored printing isbeing applied to mostrevisions. However, incertain areas such as GreenBay and Madison, the USGS isprinting a ntotal n revisionin which this color isel iminated and all revisedfeatures are printed in theirnormal colors. The 7.S J

quads in the Mi Iwaukee areaare under consideration for anew USGS mapping program overmajor cities.

d. A new system of map indexingwas displayed at the meeting.It i nvo Ives the USGSproducing a 43-page, 8 ~ by11 inch size, two-colorbook Iet i I Iustrat i ng thetotal mapping coverage ofWisconsin and an accompanying)Jorderi ng JJ cata Iog wh i c hlists the maps available.This indexing and orderingsystem is to be issued thisspring. After review of thissystem the Committeediscussed the poss i b iIi ty ofWisconsin continuing to printthe current single sheet mapindex. The WisconsinGeological Survey and theState Cartographer}s Officeare currently looking at thecosts of cooperativelyproducing the map index.Developments on these indexeswi I I be reported in futureissues of the ~~JJetlLL'

e. Mr. Mengel stated that sinceWisconsin now has totalcoverage of the NHAP1=80,OOO-scale, black-and-white photography and since

Wisconsin Mapping Bulletin

this photography was flown tothe specifications needed fororthophotoquads, the statemay want to cons i del" thepass i b i ! i ty of deve I op i nsthis program. There would bea cost saving by using theNHAP photography and nothaving to acquirespec it i c a I Iy f lown orthophotocoverage. Mr. Mengel quoteda total cost of $1,500.00 per7.S-minute orthophotoquadusing NHAP. A cooperatingagency would pay ~ this cost.It should be noted that anygovernmental agency cancooperate on mapping projectswith the USGS.

The meet i ng adjourned with theWi scans in Topograph i c Mapp i ngComm i ttee tentat i ve Iy schedu linga late winter meeting to reviewUSGS mapp i"g programs. TheCommittee wi II consider futurecooper-at i ve programs with theU.S. Geological Survey, NationalMapping Division.

NORTH AMERICAN VERTICAL DATUM (NAVD 88) ADJUSTMENT

The f i r s t phase of thereadjustment of the North~merican vertical datum be9anwith the conversion of NationalGeodetic Survey (NGS) archivalob s e r ve t i e na I I eve ling data tocomputer-readable form. It beganin 1975 and finished in January1982. The prel iminar~ editin9'va Ii dat i On, and rev i ew of thesedata were completed in November1982. This involved 15,000 linesof leveling c o nt.e i n i na a t.o t.a l of1,300,000 ki l ome t e r s (808,000mi les> of first- and second-orderbench marks. These 457,000 benchmark d e s c r- i pt ions inc! ude thetype of monument, stamping,inst.ructions to recover the mark,and other descriptiveinformation. They are now partof the National Geodetic Surve~

data base.

The dv ne mi c nature of thevertical control network re~uires

a framework of newl~ observedelevation differences forobtaining real i s t l c contemporaryhe19ht values from thereadjustment. To e c c ome I ishth is, NGS se I e c t e d 100, ODDkilometers for r- e l e o e t i ns .Replacement of disturbed Ordest.ro~ed monuments preceded thea c t u e I Ieve ling. As of AU9ust1983, 45,000 k i ! ometers ofleveling were finished, withcompletion scheduled forSeptember 1986.

Stud. i es r-e Ia t e d to cr-usta Imat ~ on, subs i de nc e . and otherresearches have dramat i ca I Iyinc~eased the re~uirements forhighly accurate elevations.Bench marks that are used asreference po i nts for theseprecise surve~s must have veryh j gh stab iii t~ and ! ongev i t~.Prior to the start of any precisesurvey, the user need.s to knowthe rei iabi I ity of the benchmarks that are be j ng used asreference po i nts. NGS hasdivided the monuments into the

Wisconsin Mapping Bulletin 3

following four classes, basedupon their r e I l a b i I ity:

QuaI~ Bench Mar k Oescr i,2t i en

A Monuments of the mostrei i ab l e nature whichare expected to holdtheir elevations ver~

we I I.B Monuments which probabl~

wi I I ho I d the i relevations wei I.

C Monuments which may holdtheir elevations but arec ammon I y subject tosurface groundmovements.

o Monuments of guest ion-able or unknownrei iabi I l t y .

Frost depth, soi I conditions, andlocal subsidence are some factorswh i ch work upon bench markmonuments causing verticalmovement. The degree to whichmonuments maintain verticalstabi I it~ under the influence oflocal disturbing effects is afactor in determining the gual it~

of a bench mark. Generally,stee I rods or pipes that aredriven to a depth sufficent toresist these effects, Or diskscemented into large rocks ormassive structures, areconsidered to be of qual it~ B.

The lo0,OOO-km <160,900 mi l e )framework for NAVD 88, which isca I I ed Bas i c Net A, is compr i sedof qua I i t~ A and B monuments.Although it is desirable to haveever~ monument of gual ity A, acompromise had to be reachedbetween what is desirable andwhat is most cost effective. Themajor i ty of the monumentsestabi ished tor NAVD 88 are ofgua I i t~ B, with gua I i ty Amonuments set at 16-km (26 mi Ie)intervals, at junctions ofI eve I i ns lines, and at the ))base})of each spur line to water 'eve'gages.

To provide automated retrievalcapabi I ity and apply position­dependent correct ions to theobservations, a geographicposition (latitude, longitude)must be determined for each benchmar k , For those monuments notconnected to the hor i z n n t.e Icontrol network, the effortinvolves plotting bench marks onappropriate maps usingdescr i pt i ve data and thendetermining a nscaledH positionby digitizing equipment.Positions have now beendetermined for 394,000 of thebOO,OOO bench marks.

In the ear 1y history of "theUnited States, the compasswas indispensable tosurveyors, and because onebrand, the Tates Compass, wasso cheap, many surveyorsbought it.
