STAACK, Chief Topographic Engineer INTRODUCTION Scope of report. This bulletin contains the results of all triangu- lation done in Utah by the Geological Survey of the United States Department of the Interior before 1936 and includes those previously published,1 the work for which was done before 1915. Precision. In general, the triangulation described in this report conforms to the specifications for third-order work as now defined by the Federal Board of Surveys and Maps. These specifications, in part, are as follows: The designations for the several grades of control adopted by the Board of Surveys and Maps January 1], 1921, were precise, primary, secondary, and ter­ tiary, named in order of decreasing accuracy. Prior to that time the terms pri­ mary, secondary, and tertiary had been used for the three higher grades of control. The nomenclature adopted in 1921 did not find wide acceptance, and therefore the Board in 1925 adopted the terms first ordsr, second order, third order, and fourth order to designate the four grades of control, first order being applied to the most accurate grade. This brings the nomenciature into better accord with general usage, and it is also easily understood without explanation by one not acquainted with the terms. * * * Triangulation of the third order is ordinarily used for the immediate control of topographic and hydrographic surveys. Extensions of third-order triangulation or of third-order traverse from triangulation or traverse of a higher order should be made so as to control the entire area to be surveyed. Triangles of third-order triangulation should close with a maximum error of 10 seconds and an average error seldom exceeding 5 seconds. Closures in length on lines of first-order or second- order triangulation, on lines of third-order triangulation previously adjusted, or on base lines, should not exceed one part in 5,000. Instructions for conducting third-order triangulation surveys that were in force during the execution of the work described in this report are contained in Bulletin 788, entitled "Topographic instructions of the United States Geological Survey." Parts of those instructions are now obsolete. The United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, also, has published a description of the methods employed in triangu- 1 The results previously published are contained in the following publications of the Geological Survey: 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st Annual Eeports and Bulletins 122, 181, 216, 245, 310, 440, 496, and 644. 1 2 TRIANGULATION IN UTAH, 1871-1934 lation and detailed specifications and instructions for the work.2 Some of the triangulation projects in Utah were conducted with more care than was given the average project, as is shown by the resid­ uals in the original adjustments by least squares, and their results approached the degree of precision that is expected of second-order triangulation. However, as these results have been readjusted, with­ out regard to their higher precision, in conjunction with results that are of average, or third-order precision, it is logical to assume that the average precision of all the results here published is third-order. Instruments used. In the triangulation done before 1928, theodo­ lites of the direction type were used. This type was equipped with a 10-inch circle and two micrometers, each reading to 2-second divisions on a scale or its head. It weighed about 28 pounds without its case, and its tripod weighed about 19 pounds. It was well adapted to mak­ ing azimuth observations and was frequently put to that use in the earlier years of the work, when the projects extended far from first- order bases. Since 1928 the use of repeating instruments has gradu­ ally become common. The type now regarded as the standard is a transit theodolite, with which the angles are measured by the method of repetition. It is equipped with a 7-inch circle and two verniers, each reading to 10 seconds. This instrument weighs about 20 pounds without its case, and its tripod weighs 16 pounds. Station marks. The Geological Survey establishes permanent marks at most of its occupied triangulation stations. (See pi. 1.) These are usually of the same form as those used for permanent marks along lines of leveling and transit traverse, such as bronze or aluminum tab­ lets, iron posts, and copper bolts, but they include also drill holes, marks chiseled on rocks, and natural or constructed objects that can be so described that the exact points whose positions have been com­ puted can be unmistakably identified. The tablets are circular in shape, measure 3% inches in diameter and taper from a thickness of three-eighths of an inch at the center to about a quarter of an inch near the rounded edge. During a short period in the earlier years of the Survey's triangulation the tablets set were made of aluminum. The softness of this metal, however, made them susceptible to damage, so that aluminum as a material for tab­ lets was soon discarded. The earliest tablets were made of bronze, and bronze is the material now specified for standard tablets. Each tab­ let is cast with a 3-inch shank extending from the center of its reverse side, by means of which it is cemented into place, and each bears an inscription on its face. The inscriptions on the tablets already placed differ in many .details, because of changes in design at various times. The face of every tablet, however, is cast with the words "U, 8, !

    United States Department of Agriculture Wilderness Visitors and Forest Service Recreation Impacts: Baseline Rocky Mountain Research Station Data Available for Twentieth General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-117 Century Conditions September 2003 David N. Cole Vita Wright Abstract __________________________________________ Cole, David N.; Wright, Vita. 2003. Wilderness visitors and recreation impacts: baseline data available for twentieth century conditions. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-117. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 52 p. This report provides an assessment and compilation of recreation-related monitoring data sources across the National Wilderness Preservation System (NWPS). Telephone interviews with managers of all units of the NWPS and a literature search were conducted to locate studies that provide campsite impact data, trail impact data, and information about visitor characteristics. Of the 628 wildernesses that comprised the NWPS in January 2000, 51 percent had baseline campsite data, 9 percent had trail condition data and 24 percent had data on visitor characteristics. Wildernesses managed by the Forest Service and National Park Service were much more likely to have data than wildernesses managed by the Bureau of Land Management and Fish and Wildlife Service. Both unpublished data collected by the management agencies and data published in reports are included. Extensive appendices provide detailed information about available data for every study that we located. These have been organized by wilderness so that it is easy to locate all the information available for each wilderness in the NWPS. Keywords: campsite condition, monitoring, National Wilderness Preservation System, trail condition, visitor characteristics The Authors _______________________________________ David N.

Northern Utah was in many ways a Crossroads long before the emigrants, settlers, railroad and military came here. As early as pre-Fremont Native Americans, we find evidence of trails and trade routes across this geographic area. The trappers and traders, both English and American, knew the area and crisscrossed it following many of the Native American trails. They also established new routes. Explorers sought additional routes to avoid natural barriers such as the mountains and the Great Salt Lake. As emigrants and settlers traveled west, knowledge of the area spread. The Crossroads designation was permanently established once the Railroad spanned the nation.

    Previous section Volume contents Appendix A Around the Henry Mountains with Charlie Hanks, Some Recollections By Charles B. Hunt1 It was my good fortune in 1935 to be assigned chief of a U.S. Geological Survey field party studying and mapping the geology of the Henry Mountains, Utah (fig. 1). Geolog- ically the area is of great interest because of the classic work done there in 1876 by G.K. Gilbert for the Powell Survey. In the 1930’s the area still was frontier (fig. 2)—a long distance from railroads, paved roads, telephones, stores, or medical services. It was the heart of an area the size of New York State without a railroad, and a third of that area was without any kind of a road. This was not Marlboro country; it was Bull Durham country. The geological work had to be done by pack train (fig. 3); it was about the last of the big pack- train surveys in the West—the end of an era. It was my good fortune also to obtain the services of a veteran horseman who knew that country, Charles R. Hanks of Green River, Utah (fig. 4). Charlie served as packer dur- ing each of our five field seasons there. He had played a leading role in the history of the area; the town of Hanks- ville was named (1885) for his father when a post office was established there. Charlie, an old-time cow puncher, had spent more hours in saddles than he had in chairs, and he had slept more nights on the ground under the stars than he had in bed under a roof.
