Original publisher's maroon cloth binding with gilt lettering on spine (including number "674"). 6" x 9 1/4." 204 pages, complete. One black-and-white plate, complete. Index in back. Pages are virtually pristine and intact except for "U.S. Geological Survey, Topographic Files" black ink stamp on a front flyleaf, tiny stain on a few of the back leaves, and light age toning.

This is Bulletin 674, a report by the United States Department of the Interior and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) about "spirit leveling" in the state of Washington from 1896-1917, inclusive. The Introduction clarifies that this work, Bulletin 674, contains both previously published information from Bulletins 457 and 557 as well as results from later work. The benchmarks used in Washington 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 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 Washington (in this Bulletin, the types of leveling are interspersed together). The list is alphabetical by location (town, landmark, and the like) within a specific quadrangle or region. Example entry associated with primary leveling: "Blalock Island Quadrangle. [Region] From Castlerock west along Spokane, Portland & Seattle Ry. to McCredie (2 lines). Primary leveling in 1906 by John R. Evans and in 1913 by D. S. Birkett.

Bulletin 566 contains the results of Bulletin 489, but with corrections that match said results with a 1912 adjustment, as well as spirit leveling results from USGS since 1910 (the last year covered by Bulletin 489).

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."

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.

This is Bulletin 561, a report by the United States Department of the Interior and U.S. Geological Survey about "spirit leveling" in the Territory of Hawai'i from 1910-1913, inclusive. The Introduction notes the scope of work as follows: "All results of spirit leveling in the Territory of Hawaii by the United States Geological Survey are included in this report, arranged by quadrangles. All of the elevations are based on tidal bench marks of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, the Corps of Engineers, United States Army, and the Hawaii Railroad Co." The benchmarks used in Hawai'i spirit leveling are briefly described as having two forms, a circular bronze 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."
