+frex3wv Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Thanks - I am now even more perplexed reagrding the marks I am looking for as the south coordinates are in the middle of the river when the mark should be on a hill. Thanks for helping though. Edited April 28, 2013 by frex3wv Quote
DaveD Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Coordinates for 1 mile north are -- 38 22.099 / 81 37.582 Coordinates for 1 mile south are -- 38 20.359 / 81 37.582 Computed using NGS utility FORWARD. Quote
+frex3wv Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Thanks DaveD. All meridian mark discussion has moved to its own thread. So.. I brought it off topic - now bringing it back ON topic: USGS marks. Quote
+billwallace Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 ... I need the coordinates (in same format for use in GPS) exactly one mile north and one mile south of: N 38° 21.229 W 081° 37.582... FizzyCalc is a nice tool for your box Quote
+frex3wv Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Hi all - going to look for marks from 1902 tomorrow and here are a few words I ran across: "custom-house" and foundation "water table." Any idea what I am looking for? Quote
kayakbird Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Hi all - going to look for marks from 1902 tomorrow and here are a few words I ran across: "custom-house" and foundation "water table." Any idea what I am looking for? From the Free Dictionary: 2. (Fine Arts & Visual Arts / Architecture) an offset or string course that has a moulding designed to throw rainwater clear of the wall below. I bet somebody will come up with a logged photo shortly.

kayakbird Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Couldn't remember where I had seen one, but GSAK filtered it right out of North Dakota. Minot Public Library A rather extra fancy 'Water Table". MEL Quote
+Harry Dolphin Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Ah! I was wondering what a water table was! Quote
