Jim Schaller James Vianna, P.L.S. Robert Ihlenburg, P.L.S. “A presentation so big it takes three speakers!” Faced with the daunting task of mapping millions of acres of rugged wilderness and bringing order to conflict- ing land claims, Colvin recognized the need for a standardized system of measurement techniques that would allow for such. The time of compass and chain surveys and disconnected maps would be no more. Starting on known co- ordinates of the US Coast Survey on Lake Champlain, Colvin triangulated westerly into the heart of the Adirondack Wilderness with transit and signal tower. Check baselines were established on most lakes and interior boundary lines were “tied-in” to this reference frame. While Colvin never completed his “Grand Map” of the Adirondacks, his survey work provided that all important bridge between the original colonial era surveys and today’s time. His forethought in perpetuating the original evidence of these early surveys with permanent marks so that today’s surveyors would not face the same difficulties was ahead of his time. Additionally, his use of transit and steel tape rather than compass and chain (which was not fully embraced by the bulk of surveyors in New York until well within the 20th century) ushered in a new era of surveying. The net result of his efforts led to the stabilization of many important land title boundaries within the Adirondack Forest Preserve and allowed for the orderly development thereof. Highlights: The initial points of the Adirondack Survey, discrepancies found with USCS and the Dudley Ob- servatory. Propagation of control into the Adirondacks, i.e. signal towers, transits and baselines etc., elevation control, level runs and benchmarks. “THE GREAT GORE” Richard Bennett, P.L.S. In 1772, the over 80 mile long north line of the Totten and Crossfield Purchase (T&CP) was partially surveyed followed by partial surveys of the Old Military Tract (OMT) and Macomb’s Purchase (MP) to the north. These original surveys covered a period of time that lasted for several decades. Over one hundred years later, both the “Adirondack Survey” and the office of the New York State Engineer performed retracement surveys to locate these ancient boundaries of land which de- lineated protected State - owned forest from private lands as well as defining todays county and town boundaries. Highlights: Original mapping and field notes of the T&CP, Old Military Tract and Macomb’s Purchase between 1772 and the early 1800’s. How these lines were adopted as Town and County boundary lines and the problems that arose due to uncertainties of the location of said lines. Research, investigation and retracements per- formed by Verplanck Colvin. The 1903-04 legislation and survey that finally located the boundaries of St. Lawrence, Franklin, Herkimer and Essex Counties. The court decision that ultimately determined ownership of the Great Gore.

“HISTORY OF THE WARREN AND ESSEX COUNTY LINE” James Vianna, P.L.S. The location of 200+ year old political subdivision lines (municipal boundaries) is perhaps one of the most daunting tasks facing today’s Land Surveyor. Typically, these lines were created by law years before being actually run upon the ground and were then maybe only surveyed once in entirety. Since most property lines today rarely coincide with political lines, original evidence defining the true location of said political lines has become lost to time as these lines are typically not perpetuated with the same vigor as a property line. CONTINUED ON PAGE 5: 4 FROM PAGE 4: Highlights: Representing over two years of research and reconnaissance, this presentation provides a good example of how Colvin’s work perpetuated original evidence for todays surveyors. Attendees will learn the history of how the line was created and which surveys constitute the “legal” boundary between the Counties of Warren, Essex and Hamilton. Rare original field evidence found to date of said surveys and the restoration of a portion of said line in the Hamlet of North River will be examined.

“SURVEY INSTRUMENT ACCURACY THROUGH THE AGES” Milton Denny, P.L.S. Come explore the changing accuracy of survey instruments from Colonial times to to- day’s total station. Turn angles from a mountain top using a survey compass, survey transit, theodolite and total station. Surveyors will be on hand to help train you on the operation of the instruments. Even if you have been surveying fifty years you may learn something new and have a better understanding of the changing accuracy of survey instruments. Highlights: History of very early instruments such as the Roman “groma” – Survey instruments in the dark ages – Instruments in Colonial times – Colonial instrument makers – The standard survey compass and how it operated – The backbone of surveying for 100 years the survey transit – The survey Theodolite – the Total Station and Q&A.

Note: This program will be presented in two one hour segments over two days, involving both class and field time. Attendance is required at both sessions to receive CE credit.

“DEFLECTION OF THE VERTICAL ON LARGE SCALE RETRACEMENTS” Milton Denny, P.L.S. In mountainous terrain, deflection of the vertical can play an important role in the accuracy of your survey. Definitions and real world examples will be presented. How to determine if the original surveyor took into account deflection of the vertical. Even the great surveyor Andrew Ellicott fell victim to this mathematical principal. Instruc- tions on how deflection of the vertical will affect your instruments will be presented. Highlights: Participants will learn the role that gravity plays in survey accuracy and know where to go for help in adjusting survey results. Examples on how deflection of the vertical in Andrew Ellicott’s work resulted in him show- ing information that is not correct.

W. & L. E. GURLEY AND THE CHARLES E. SMART COLLECTION

William Skerritt Brad Utter A “once in a lifetime” opportunity to view rare Gurley instruments and learn from the experts. With the epi- center of all things “Gurley” being only an hour away in Troy NY, and Colvin’s reliance on them to purchase and repair his equipment, we simply couldn’t have passed up this presentation. In 1993, Teledyne Gurley gave Charles E. Smart’s collection of American surveying instruments to the NY State Museum. Smart’s collection was formed in parallel with his historical research and culminated in his publication of “The Makers of Surveying Instruments in America Since 1700”, the seminal work on the subject. The presenters will explore the history and development of W. & L. E. Gurley as embodied in unique artifacts from the Smart, Gurley Precision Instruments, and Skerritt collections. Many of these artifacts, presented both as images and in person, have never before been shown. Together, they will help expand the understanding of Gurley’s innovative production. With the NY State Archives being the holders of W. & L. E. Gurley corporate records, Mr. Utter has researched this vast collection to present on the working relationship between Colvin and Gurley. 5 “VERPLANCK COLVIN -A BIOGRAPHY” Jim Schaller The story of Verplanck Colvin’s life, career, and an overview of the Adirondack Survey and later NYS Land Survey. Colvin’s destiny was to be in the Adirondacks. A surveyor by training, he was often at odds with politicians, and outside interests, yet was drawn to the forests of upstate New York to map the mountains and eventually realize a dream. His obsession with obtaining new knowledge of the mountain summits, lakes, and rivers, and a life of tramping and surveying in the woods – planted the seeds for his involvement in the efforts to press for a forest preserve, or park for the Adirondacks. His respect and love of the Adirondack Wilderness fueled his concern for its future, and his accurate mapping, coupled with his pleas for preservation of the forests, resulted in the creation of the largest park in the continental U.S. today – the Adirondack State Park & Forest Preserve – comprising some 5.8 million acres.

“The Great Forts of Lake George” Dr. David Starbuck The southern tip of Lake George was home to some of the greatest forts in the United States, dating chiefly to the French & Indian War, but with some sites reoccupied during the American Revolution. Fort William Henry, Fort George and Fort Gage were pivotal in the for- mation of our country, and this is where nearly all of the action took place in “The Last of the Mohicans” story by James Fenimore Cooper. All of these sites have seen major archaeological projects over the past sixty years, and this presentation will include many of the most signifi- cant archaeological findings made by Dr. Starbuck and his colleagues over the past twenty years (work that has been sponsored by SUNY Adirondack). Many examples of historic maps of the Lake George area from the 1700s will be featured. These exciting findings have been the subject of programs on The Learning Channel and The National Geographic Channel, and these excavations have been described in many news stories that have been carried na- tionally by the Associated Press. You will hear about and then visit some of these great sites.

Verplanck Colvin: Storyteller and Adirondack Forest Preserve Champion Jerry Pepper “Colvin was a man of many talents and boundless energy which he lavished on his beloved Adirondacks with barely believable and hazardous treks, very believable maps, lithographs and monuments. He could have been a famous artist or author, but instead he threw himself and his fortune into surveying and trying to save this remote region from those who were depleting it. And he was successful at both.” — Kermit Remele, LS Colvin proposed to rely on trigonometry rather than compasses to determine the locations of Adirondack peaks. He and his party carried scientific instruments which he had bought with his own money. Taking measurements from dawn to dusk, Colvin pushed his men from peak to peak in all sorts of weather. Some quit when he prohibited alcohol in the survey camps. In addition to fighting their way through miles of wilderness in the harshest weather, the survey crews had to ward off bear attacks on their camps. Colvin never produced his grand map of the Adirondacks. Instead, his achievement lay in publicizing and preserving the mountains, through his survey reports, published between 1873 and 1899, and in the speeches he made to groups throughout the state. A natural story teller, in the spirit of contemporaries like Samuel Clemens, Charles Dudley Warner, and William H.H. Murray, Colvin’s story revealed the mystery, adventure, and grandeur of New York’s wild northern mountains to the state’s growing urban population.
