The preparation of publications relating to the survey of the oyster bars of Mary- land has been divided between the Government and the State in accordance with the laws ' authorizing the work and the natural division of the surveying operations? of the cooperating forces. The publications prepared and issued by the Government under the direction of the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey consist of a series of charts and a technical report for each county surveyed.* The charts show all legal boundaries of oyster bars within the adopted boundaries of the waters opened up for leasing with each county, and the location of all landmarks (Coast and Geodetic Survey triangulation stations) used as a foundation for the delineation of these various boundaries. The technical report gives technical and legal descriptions of all oyster bar and other bound- aries, and descriptions of all landmarks shown on the charts, and includes the report of the representative of the Coast and Geodetic Survey in charge of the work of that service in cooperation with the Bureau of Fisheries and the Maryland Shell Fish Com- mission. ‘These charts and technical reports are prepared and certified for file with the courts and the Commission, as required by the laws of the State, and contain all infor- mation necessary to make a permanent record of the work of the Commission and the Government for all future requirements of the courts, or for any resurveys that may become necessary.* , The publications prepared and issued by the State under the direction of the Shell Fish Commission consist of annual reports® of all the operations of the Commission performed under the provisions of the laws of Maryland,° including results of biological and economic oyster wo Se methods and results of the hydrographic survey of 1 See Appendix A for laws alate to the cooperation eG the Coast and Geodetic Survey and Bureau of Fisheries with the Maryland Shell Fish Commission. 2 See Appendix C for a summary of the particular surveying operations which constitute an “oyster survey’’ as now being carried on in Maryland. 3 These charts and technical reports can be obtained by application to the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey at Washington, D.C. The publications now ready for issue are those for Anne Arundel, Somerset, Wicomico, Worcester, Calvert, Charles, St. Marys, Baltimore, Kent, and Queen Annes Counties. 4 The technical records and charts for each county are published separately on account of the requirements of the oyster- culture laws of the State and the practical considerations which make it desirable to have each county “opened up” for oyster culture as soon as practicable after the completion of its survey. For these reasons and the fact that these reports are each arranged for distribution and use in one county only without reference to other published records, much of the text of this publi- cation is of necessity identical with similar previous publications for other counties. ~ 5 These reports can be obtained by application to the Shell Fish Commission, Marine Bank Building, Baltimore, Md. They are issued annually in October, and the first, second, and third reports are now available for distribution. § See Appendix B for an extract from the “ Second Report of the Maryland Shell Fish Commission,”’ giving a concise summary of the “Haman oyster culture law.’"’ 15 16 Survey of Oyster Bars, Queen Annes County, Md. the boundaries of oyster bars and crab bottoms, the administrative report and financial statement of the Commission, information relating to oyster culture, methods of sur- veying and leasing of oyster lots, and much other important matter of legal and scientific value. These two sets of publications are planned and arranged to supplement each other without unnecessary duplication, and when combined they form a complete report of operations, methods, and results of the work of both the Government and State.! COOPERATION OF THE COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY. The work of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, as the name of the service indicates, includes a survey of the coasts of the United States made on a geodetic basis. This has involved the gradual construction of a great framework of interstate triangulation for use as a foundation for detail hydrographic and topographic surveys, from which there has been compiled and published a complete set of charts of the coasts of the United States, including all waters of Maryland where oysters grow. ‘This existing triangulation, hydrography, and topography is essential as a foundation for a correct and practical survey of natural oyster bars; and it being one of the fundamental func- tions of the Coast and Geodetic Survey to furnish such data, the cooperation of the Coast and Geodetic Survey with the Bureau of Fisheries and the Maryland Shell Fish Commission is a practical and natural development of Government work leading to the conservation and increase of the supply of food. COOPERATION OF THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES. The Bureau of Fisheries has cooperated with the Coast and Geodetic Survey and the Maryland Shell Fish Commission principally as an adviser in matters relating to the biological and economic survey of oyster bars and the methods to be employed for that purpose.” A steam launch, rowing boat, and certain apparatus have also been furnished. The primary function of the Bureau of Fisheries is to increase the productiveness of marine and fresh waters. by such measures as may be best suited to the purpose, and the services rendered in connection with the survey of the oyster bars of Maryland are strictly in line with the fundamental law under which it acts. In certain States other than Maryland similar work has been conducted by the bureau acting independently, the same ends being attained at greater expense to the Government. GENERAL STATEMENT OF WORK OF COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY. The results obtained from the work of the Coast and Geodetic Survey in coopera- tion with the Bureau of Fisheries and the Maryland Shell Fish Commission need very little other summary than is indicated by the published ‘“‘Charts of Natural Oyster Bars’ and the index of hydrographic projections and triangulation stations shown on the county progress maps attached to each report. } See Appendix D of this publication Yor “Statistics of results of combined operations of the Government and State.” * Hon. George M. Bowers, Commissioner of Fisheries, has detailed for this service Dr. H. F. Moore, Assistant, Bureau of Fisheries. * For a detail statement of the very large amount of excellent oyster survey work of the Maryland Shell Fish Commission see the “Annual Reports of the Maryland Shell Fish Commission.” Survey of Oyster Bars, Queen Annes County, Md. 17 The triangulation has been carried on in accordance with the standard methods of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, making this work and that of the ‘Descriptions of Triangulation Stations’”’ of permanent value, not only to the State of Maryland in the survey of her oyster bars, but also to the Government for any future work it may do in the regions covered by the oyster-survey operations. The hydrographic projections and published charts are prepared with all the accu- racy permitted by their large scale, especially as to the boundaries of the various shell-fish bottoms in relation to landmarks, but this accuracy of location on the charts is further added to and permanently fixed by published technical descriptions, which should minimize the probability of any future dispute as to either landmarks or boundaries. Stated another way, and quoting from the report of the ‘Survey of Oyster Bars of Anne Arundel County’’: The geographic positions of the permanent landmarks and signals have been determined with the usual precision of a trigonometric survey, and their locations at all points necessary to provide ample foundation for the surveying and charting operations permitted great accuracy of definition and loca- tion for the natural oyster bar and other boundaries established. At the same time, the very important element of permanency of the positions of boundaries has been secured, as the relocation of geodetic positions can always be accomplished by a competent surveyor, even though the original landmarks and monuments have been washed away, as has been the fate of hundreds of such points established by the Coast and Geodetic Survey on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay during the last 65 years. 20313—12——2 REPORT OF THE WORK OF THE COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY IN QUEEN ANNES COUNTY. INSTRUCTIONS. The following letters, together with the laws‘ of the United States relating to the subjec , constitute the “instructions” received by the chief of the Coast and Geodetic Survey party ngaged on work in connection with the Maryland Shell Fish Commission. They are short and definite, but furnish ample authority and leeway for all legitimate development of the cooperation of the Government and the State in the survey of oyster bars. The “free hand’’ permitted by these orders, together with the aid and many valuable suggestions received from the officers of the survey at Washington, have proved very beneficial to the work and are greatly appreciated.

The personnel and occupation of the party of the Coast and Geodetic Survey have Coeiued eee hy HOSE since the ore ee of ee “oyster survey.’’ Besides 1 1 For tl these Aine see hopenais A. 18 Survey of Oyster Bars, Queen Annes County, Md. 19 the chief of party, it consists of the necessary triangulators, computers, draftsmen, and temporary employees required to carry on both the surveying operations in the field and the preparation for publication of oyster charts and technical records in the office at Washington. The equipment for the work of the party has been ample and satisfactory. The large living and office quarters furnished the Government on the Maryland Shell Fish Commission house boat Oyster have been very convenient for the work, besides facili- tating efficient cooperation with the surveying and oyster investigation parties of the State. In addition to the accommodations on the Oyster, the Coast and Geodetic Survey party has had the constant use of the large steam launch /nspector and several other boats furnished by its own service, and the occasional use of the Bureau of Fish- eries launch Canvasback ' and the steamer Governor McLane * of the State fishery force. The greater part of the equipment of instruments for the operations of both the Government and State has been furnished by the Coast and Geodetic Survey and consists of all necessary theodolites, levels, sextants, drafting instruments, hydrometers, ete., required for all field and office work. CHRONOLOGICAL STATEMENT OF WORK. The field work of the Coast and Geodetic Survey in Queen Annes County * dates from April 14, 1909, when the Maryland Shell Fish Commission house boat Oyster was moved from her winter quarters at Baltimore to an anchorage off Rockhall Landing in Kent County. The surveying operations carried on from this harbor covered a period of about six weeks, in which practically all triangulation was completed on the Chesa- peake Bay shores of both Kent and Baltimore counties as well as a considerable part of. the same class of work in the mouth of Chester River in both Queen Annes and Kent counties. On May 26, 1909, the Oyster was moved from Rockhall Landing to an anchorage in the upper part of Chester River near Cliffs Landing, where she was used as the head- quarters for all the oyster-surveying operations in that region for a little over a month. On June 30, 1909, the house boat was moved to a temporary anchorage off Queens- town. This date marked the practical completion of the work in Chester River, the triangulation of which was especially notable for the month of June on account of there having been 92 triangulation stations established, these stations all being marked by monuments and signals and their locations described, besides being occupied for theodo- lite observations. On July 1, 1909, the house boat Oyster was towed by the State steamer Governor McLane to Baltimore Harbor, where the following four days, which included a Sunday and a holiday, were spent in taking on coal, water, and other supplies. On July 6, 1909, the Governor McLane again moved the Oyster, this time from Baltimore to an anchorage in Queen Annes County in the northern part of Prospect Bay and near the southern entrance to Kent Narrows. From this harbor as head- quarters a few additional triangulation observations were made in Kent County, although the greater part of the work was confined to Queen Annes and Talbot counties. 1 By courtesy of Dr. H. F. Moore, United States Bureau of Fisheries. 2 By courtesy of Capt. James A. Turner, commanding. 3 The field work of Queen Annes County was so intermixed with that of Kent and Talbot Counties that the chronological statement of the work in one of these counties necessarily includes a considerable part of the work of the other two counties. 20 Survey of Oyster Bars, Queen Annes County, Md. On July 22, 1909, the house boat was again moved to the vicinity of Rockhall Landing to complete certain oyster-survey operations not finished when the Oyster was there in the spring. And it was not until August 13, 1909, when the house boat was shifted back to Eastern Bay, near the southern entrance to Kent Narrows, that the work in Queen Annes County was resumed. ‘The Oyster remained at this latter anchorage as headquarters for the field work for only two weeks, during which period Governor Crothers, of Maryland, and party visited the house boat and thoroughly examined into the manner and methods by which the work was being conducted. On August 28, 1909, the Oyster was towed to Haddaway Cove, in Talbot County, and work was not resumed in Queen Annes County until October 16, 1909, when the house boat was towed back to Eastern Bay and tied up at the railway wharf at Clai- borne. From this latter point as headquarters the triangulation of Eastern Bay and its northern tributaries to the west of Kent Narrows was practically completed. On October 29, 1909, the Oyster moved to an anchorage in a branch of lower Miles River called Tilghmans Creek and the next day completed a month’s field work, which was notable as far as triangulation was concerned on account of there having been established, marked, described, and located by theodolite observations over 100 tertiary triangulation stations. Two small parties were engaged on this work during this month, one living on the house boat at Claiborne and the other on shore at Cambridge. On December 1, 1909, the house boat Oyster was moved from Tilghmans Creek to an anchorage off the town of St. Michaels, and from this harbor the remaining triangu- lation of Wye and Miles rivers was practically completed. ; On December 21, 1909, active field work of the Maryland Shell Fish Commission was closed at St. Michaels, but a triangulation signal building party continued work from quarters on shore at Oxford for two days longer. On December 24, 1909, the field season for the Coast and Geodetic Survey parties was officially closed, the monthly employees remaining on the house boat Oyster at Baltimore preparing to lay up the launches and small boats for the winter, and all the officers being on leave from the 25th to 31st. No further field work was done in Queen Annes County until March 14, 1910, when a small party was put in the field to complete certain necessary details of triangulation in Queen Annes and Talbot counties. This party first went to St. Michaels and then to Oxford, where it joined the main party on the house boat about the end of April. The next and last field work in Queen Annes County covered only a few days’ period, commencing November 7, 1911, when an officer was detailed to check up and obtain certain details relating to the description of triangulation stations required for the technical publication covering the survey of oyster bars of Queen Annes and Talbot counties. The office work connected with the oyster survey of Queen Annes County, including compilations of geographic information and drafting necessary for the preparation for publication of the oyster charts and the technical records of that county, was continued intermittingly with the office work of other counties from the beginning of the field work in Queen Annes County to the time of filing of the certified oyster charts and technical publications in the archives of the Maryland Shell Fish Commission and with the clerk of the circuit court of Queen Annes County on November 28, rgit.

Before ending this report the representative of the Coast and Geodetic Survey wishes to renew his statement of appreciation of the courteous assistance received from various Government and State officials and others interested in the oyster industry of Maryland, especially to the following: To his colleague from the Department of Commerce and Labor, Dr. H. F. Moore, of the Bureau of Fisheries, whose well-known scientific knowledge of all matters relating to oysters has been of great value to the work. . To Mr. Walter J. Mitchell, chairman of the Maryland Shell Fish Commission, who, by his administrative ability in carrying out the complicated requirements of the oyster laws and by his unfailing tact, has made the cooperation of the various services engaged on the work both agreeable and effective. To Dr. Caswell Grave, secretary of the Commission, who, as editor of the Commission’s annual report and commissioner in charge of the biological and economic oyster inves- tigations, has been brought into constant contact with the Government work and aided its operations in every way. To Mr. Benjamin K. Green, treasurer of the Commission, who has looked after the equipment and commissary of the house boat in such a way as to add greatly to the comfort and convenience of the party of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. To Mr. Swepson Earle, hydrographic engineer to the Commission, whose knowledge of the work from former service in the Coast and Geodetic Survey has greatly facilitated his practical use of the technical data furnished by the Government. And to the many others connected with the Commission or who as residents in the locality where the work was being carried on have greatly assisted by furnishing impor- tant information or willing services. 1 These statistics only include field and office work directly performed by the party of the Coast and Geodetic Survey in connection with the oyster survey of this county, and do not include the many thousands of soundings and examinations of the character of the bottom made by the engineers of the commission, which are of considerable value to the Coast and Geodetic Survey as hydrographic records for future use in connection with the preparation of new editions of charts of the waters of Mary- land. See Appendix D of this publication for ‘Statistics of results of combined operations of the Government and the State.”’ CHARTS AND MAPS.} CHARTS OF NATURAL OYSTER BARS. The charts of the natural oyster bars of Queen Annes County published by the Coast and Geodetic Survey from results of the surveys of the Government in coopera- tion with the Maryland Shell Fish Commission consist of four sheets covering all the oyster-producing waters of that county. They are published on the large scale of 1 part in 20,000 (approximately 3; inches to a statute mile) and are constructed on polyconic projections; and all information shown on them is based on the United States standard datum of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. These charts show all oyster bars and other boundaries established by the Commis- sion, and are certified for the purpose of filing in the office of the clerk of the circuit court of Queen Annes County and in the office of the Maryland Shell Fish Commission, as required by the oyster laws of Maryland. In addition to the oyster bar and other boundaries, the charts show the location and name of all landmarks (United States Coast and Geodetic Survey triangulation stations) used in making the survey, together with the hydrography and topography * necessary to make the technical definitions and delineations of boundaries readily under- standable both by the people engaged in the oyster industry and the general public who may become interested through leasing of barren bottoms for oyster culture. The names of the oyster bars are those used locally, as nearly as could be ascer- tained by the hydrographic engineer of the Commission. When there was no local name in common use, a name was selected from one of the prominent features of the vicinity. By the use of recognized names or those that would naturally suggest certain sections of water, it is believed that much confusion will be avoided in the location on the charts of the oyster bars, especially by those not familiar with the use of maps. ‘The corners of the oyster bars are numbered from 1 to the total number of corners in each area under consideration. Where boundaries adjoin, making one point a corner of two or more oyster bars, these points have two or more numbers, each number corre- sponding to the bar in which the figure is located. The numbers of the corners correspond with the technical and legal descriptions of this publication under the heading ‘‘ Bound- aries of natural oyster bars.” The landmarks and oyster bars have been grouped in the ‘‘Contents”’ of this publi- cation in accordance with the charts upon which they are shown. ‘To find a particular oyster bar or landmark which is only known by name, consult the “Contents”? and the desired chart and general location will be indicated. To find the name of a bar or ! These charts can be obtained by application to the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, at Washington, D. C. 2 Much of the detail of the inshore topography was obtained from the excellent map of Queen Annes County, prepared and published by the Maryland Geological Survey under the direction of Dr. William Bullock Clark from surveys of the Maryland Geological Survey in cooperation with the United States Geological Survey. 22 Survey of Oyster Bars, Queen Annes County, Md. 23 landmark which is only known by location, consult the progress map at the end of this publication for the number of the chart on which it is to be found, and then examine the known locality on the chart for the name of the bar or landmark in question. The contours on the charts showing the depth of water at mean low tide have been taken from the hydrographic sheets of former work of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. Four curves were selected as being the most convenient for taking off from the original hydrographic sheets and the ones of greatest value to those interested in shell fish indus- tries. The r1-fathom contour (6 feet) and the 5-fathom curve (30 feet) correspond in a general way to the inner and outer limits of all the oyster bars surveyed. ‘The 3-fathom contour (18 feet) furnishes the curve of about the average depth of water on the oyster bars, and the 10-fathom contour (60 feet) serves in a general way to indicate the outer limits of probable oyster culture. The boundaries of the waters within the ‘‘territorial limits of the county’? and the boundaries of the “waters contiguous to the county’’ opened up for the leasing with Queen Annes County are plainly indicated on the charts. A full technical description of these boundaries is given in this publication under the heading ‘‘ Boundaries of county waters.” The areas in acres of the oyster bars were determined under the direction of the hydrographic engineer of the Commission by two independent planimeter measurements of the areas as delineated on the smooth projections of th Coast and Geodetic Survey. These areas are given in small figures in parentheses on the face of the chart within the boundaries of the different shell fish bottoms. The symbols used on the charts for the different kinds of boundaries, triangulation stations, contours of depth of water, etc., require no other explanation than that eyes in the legend and other notes on the face of the charts. LEASING CHARTS. The leasing charts of Queen Annes County, like those for Anne Arundel, Somerset, Wicomico, Worcester, Calvert, Charles, St. Marys, Baltimore, and Kent counties, have been prepared under the direction of the hydrographic engineer of the Commission. They are constructed on polyconic projections on the scales of 1 part in 5,000 oF 1 part in 10,000 as the needs of oyster culture may require, and the information shown on them is based on the United States standard datum of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. These charts show all the oyster bars, crab bottoms, and clam beds and other boundaries established by the Commission, and also all boundaries of oyster lots leased for the purpose of oyster culture, thus making them comprehensive and valuable records of the results of the operations of the oyster-culture laws. ‘The lots leased under the provision of the “‘old 5-acre law”’ are frequently of irreg- ular shape, but the lots leased under the provision of the new oyster law; must be of rectangular shape by the terms of that act. For this latter purpose the leasing charts have been divided by parallels of latitude and meridians of longitude into small rectan- gles of 1 acre or 5 acres, as may be best suited to the area under consideration, and prospective leaseholders by the rules of the Commission are compelled to select whole rectangles as far as possible. 24 Survey of Oyster Bars, Queen Annes County, Md. For reasons of the present changeable nature of the number of lots leased and the large number of charts required, the leasing charts are not likely to be published for some years, but they can be seen at any time on file at the offices of the Commission, in the Marine Bank Building at Baltimore. PROJECTIONS. The polyconic projections | covering Queen Annes County waters are 12 in number and on the scale of 1 part in 10,000. They were constructed by draftsmen of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, but the sextant positions which determine the location of the legal boundaries of the oyster bars as delineated by the Shell Fish Commission were plotted by the draftsman of the Commission. A copy of each of these projections, with all the plotted positions of triangulation stations, shore line, sextant positions, and boundaries of oyster bars, was made under the direction of the hydrographic engineer of the Commission by pricking through with a sharp needle the intersections of the projection lines and all other points as plotted on the original sheets. These projections (in duplicate) are the original records of all oyster bar and other boundaries established by the Commission, one set being filed in the archives of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, at Washington, and the other set in the archives of the Shell Fish Commission. PROGRESS MAPS. The progress map to be found at the end of this publication is on a scale of 1 part in 100,000, and shows in outline the work accomplished by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey in Queen Annes County and contiguous waters. It gives the scheme of all the charts and smooth projections constructed in connection with the survey, the location and names of all triangulation stations used as a basis for the surveying work, and the ‘‘boundaries of county waters’’ established by the Commission for the purpose of carrying out the laws of Maryland relating to oyster culture. Besides indicating the amount of work done by the Coast and Geodetic Survey in connection with the work of the Shell Fish Commission, this progress map will be of special value for index purposes to engineers and others searching for the particular chart or projection covering the locality of the oyster bars or landmarks that may be under consideration. The progress maps ° accompanying the first and second annual reports of the Mary- land Shell Fish Commission were prepared under the direction of the hydrographic engineer of the Commission. ‘They are on the scale of 1 part in 400,000, and show the outline of the tide-water counties of Maryland, with shaded areas to indicate the waters already covered by the operations of the oyster survey. 1 For the scheme of these projections see the progress map at the end of this publication. 2 These maps and reports can be obtained by application to Maryland Shell Fish Commission, Marine Bank Building, Baltimore, Md, BOUNDARIES OF THE COUNTY WATERS:! WATERS WITHIN TERRITORIAL LIMITS OF COUNTY. The laws of Maryland relating to oyster culture provide that “no person shall be permitted, by lease, assignment, or in any other manner, to acquire a greater amount of land than 10 acres situated within the territorial limits of any of the counties, or 100 acres in any other place.” The boundary line? between the waters ‘‘within the territorial limits’? of Queen Annes County and the waters in ‘‘any other place,” as established by the Shell Fish Commission for the purpose of carrying out the oyster laws, and delineated on the “oyster” charts and the smooth projections of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, is tech- nically described and defined as follows: Commencing at the intersection of the State boundary line between Maryland and Delaware with the boundary line between Queen Annes County and Kent County; thence following the boundary between Queen Annes and Kent counties and down the channel boundary of the upper part of Chester River; thence continuing down the channel of Chester River following the boundary line between Kent County and Queen Annes County as laid down on ‘‘Charts Nos. 29 and 30, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland,”’ to a point in the mouth of Chester River defined by the intersection of this channel bound- ary line with a straight line across the mouth of Chester River defined at its western end by a point on Love Point on the western side of Chester River in latitude 39° 02’ 25.5’ and longitude 76° 18’ 10.0’, and defined at its eastern end by a point on the eastern side of Chester River in latitude 39° 02’ 45.3 and longitude 76° 14’ 05.3’; thence in a straight line ending at a point situated on Love Point on the western side of Chester River defined by latitude 39° 02’ 25.5’ and longitude 76° 18’ 10.0’; thence along the mean low water line or across the mouth of all inlets less than roo yards in width, as the case may be, of the eastern shore of Chesapeake Bay, around Bloody Point to a point situated on Kent Point on the southern extremity of Kent Island defined by latitude 38° 50’ 05.1” and longitude 76° 22’ 06.2’; thence in a straight line eading at a point situated on Wades Point on the eastern side of the entrance of Eastern Bay, defined by latitude 38° 49’ 34.2” and longitude 76° 18’ 04.5” to a point on this straight line defined by its intersection with the boundary line in Eastern Bay between Queen Annes County and Talbot County as laid down on “Chart No. 31, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland;’’ thence along the boundary line between Queen Annes County and Talbot County in Eastern Bay, around Tilghmans Point, up Miles River, turning between Bennett Point and Herring Island into the mouth of Wye River, and up the channel boundary line of that branch of Wye River to the south of Wye Island to the point off the eastern end of Wye Island, all as laid down on “ Charts Nos. 31 and 32, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland;’’ thence continuing up the channel boundary line of Wye River between Queen Annes County and Talbot County to the head of the oyster-producing waters.* 1 For a complete historical and legal description of the boundaries of the counties of Maryland, the valuable publication entitled “The Counties of Maryland—Their Origin, Boundaries, and Election Districts,’’ prepared by Dr. Edward B. Mathews and published by the Maryland Geological Survey under the direction of Dr. William Bullock Clark, Superintendent, should be consulted, as the boundaries described in this publication have been established and technically defined for the purpose of carrying out the oyster laws of the State, and may or may not be correct for other purposes. 2 See “Charts of Natural Oyster Bars,’’ published by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, and the progress map at the end of this publication. * Latitudes and longitudes based on the United States standard datum of the United States Coast and Geedetic Survey. 25 26 Survey of Oyster Bars, Queen Annes County, Md. WATERS CONTIGUOUS TO COUNTY. The oyster laws of Maryland provide that a true and accurate delineation of all natural oyster bars shall be made on copies of charts of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, “ which said copies shall be filed in the office of the said Commissioners in the city of Baltimore,” and ‘‘in the office of the clerks of the circuit courts for the respective counties wherein the grounds so designated may lie.” For the purpose of carrying out the latter part of this section of the law and for the purpose of establishing the limits of the oyster-culture area to be opened up for leasing with each county surveyed, it is necessary for the Shell Fish Commission to establish a boundary line between the waters contiguous to but not within the terri- torial limits of each county and the waters contiguous to but not within the territorial limits of adjacent counties. This boundary line has béen delineated on the ‘Charts of Natural Oyster Bars,” published by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, and is technically described and defined as follows: Commencing at a point defined by the intersection of the boundary line between Queen Annes County and Kent County as laid down on “Chart No. 29, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland,’’ with a straight line across the mouth of Chester River, defined at its eastern end by a point on tie eastern side of Chester River in latitude 39° 02’ 45.37 and longitude 76° 14’ 05.3’’, and defined at its western end by a point on Love Point on the western side of Chester River in latitude 39° 02’ 25.5’ and longitude 76° 18’ 10.0’; thence following the boundary line between Queen Annes County and Kent County, passing around and about 1 mile to the northeast of Love Point Light, as laid down on “Chart No. 20, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland,’’ to a point in Chesapeake Bay about 258 miles east of Baltimore Light and 35% miles west of Love Point Light, defined by latitude 39° 03’ 30.0’ and longitude 76° 21’ 00.0”; thence inastraight line with Chesapeake Bay toa point in Chesapeake Bay about 134 mileseast of Sandy Point Light and defined by latitude 39° 00’ 57.2’ and longitude 76° 21’ 34.00’; thence in a straight line with Chesapeake Bay to a point in Chesapeake Bay about 1,9; miles east of Thomas Point Light, defined by latitude 38° 53’ 56.2” and longitude 76° 24’ 50.2’’; thence in a straight line with Chesa- peake Bay to a point in Chesapeake Bay about 214 miles west of Bloody Point Bar Light defined by latitude 38° 50’ o1.1’” and longitude 76° 26’ 15.0; thence in a straight line with Chesapeake Bay to a point in Chesapeake Bay about 3'% miles southwest of Bloody Point Bar Light defined by latitude 38° 48’ 06.6 and longitude 76° 26’ 37.1”; thence following the boundary line between Queen Annes County and Talbot County passing between Bloody Point Bar Light and Poplar Island, as laid down on “Chart No. 31, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland,”’ to a point defined by the intersection of this boundary line with a straight line across the entrance of Mastern Bay defined at its western end by a point situated on Kent Point on the southern extremity of Kent Island in latitude 38° 50’ 05.1’ and longitude 76° 22’ 06.2’ and defined at its eastern end by a point situated on Wades Point on the eastern side of the entrance of astern Bay in latitude 38° 49’ 34.2’ and longitude 76° 18’ 04.5/.! !

The oyster laws of Maryland authorizing the survey to be made by the Shell Fish Commission provide for ‘‘an accurate report of said survey, setting forth such a descrip- tion of landmarks as may be necessary to enable the said board, or their successors, to find and ascertain the boundary lines of said natural oyster beds, bars, and rocks, as shown by delineation on the maps and charts.’’ The law of the United States author- izing the cooperation of the Department of Commerce and Labor in the survey of natural oyster bars of Maryland provides for the erection of “such structures as may be necessary to mark the points of triangulation, so that the same may be used for such future work of the Coast and Geodetic Survey as the said bureau may be hereafter required to perform in prosecuting the Government coast survey of the navigable waters of the United States located within the State of Maryland.’ Under the provisions of the sections of the laws stated above, the markings and descriptions of landmarks must be sufficient for the present and future needs of both the Government and the State. With this end in view, considerable work has been expended in erecting permanent monuments at the triangulation stations and in the proper description of their location. An effort has been made to arrange the descriptions of location and character of landmarks in a uniform and logical manner. ‘The descriptions start with the assump- tion that the individual seeking a landmark has only an indefinite idea of its location. They gradually proceed from description of the general locality of a landmark to the descriptions of its immediate surroundings. This is followed by specific details of the character of the center and reference marks and a “round”’ of reference angles and distances which in themselves frequently contain enough information to furnish an independent and reliable location of the triangulation sfation. METHOD OF DESCRIBING TRIANGULATION STATIONS. The separate descriptions of triangulation stations should not be used without reading the following explanation of the method of describing the triangulation stations, as it con- tains certain details that are common to all the landmarks described in this publication and which are omitted in the separate descriptions as being needless repetitions: Name.—The title at the top of each separate description is the name by which the landmark or triangulation station is known and designated in all work and pub- lished oyster records or oyster charts of both the Government and State. ‘The selee- tion of the name is usually left to the triangulator establishing the station, and it may or may not have geographic or other significance in reference to the locality. General locality —Under this heading is given the general locality of the landmark in referenceZto well-known and prominent natural or artificial features, such as the 27 28 Survey of Oyster Bars, Queen Annes County, Md. nearest body of water, town, river, steamer wharf, well-defined point of land, church, or any other feature that is likely to remain both permanent and prominent. This heading also covers a reference to the published chart or map which shows the location of the station most clearly. Nearly all the triangulation stations described in this publication are plainly indicated by name and a triangulation symbol on the published charts of oyster bars of Maryland. In this case they are referred to by serial number only, the words “‘charts of oyster bars of Maryland” being omitted to avoid needless repetition. These published oyster charts are on the large scale of 1 part in 20,000 (approximately 34% inches to a statute mile) and show the location of the trian- culation stations so clearly that in many cases the written descriptions will not be required to find them. Immediate locality—Under this heading is given the description of the ‘observed station” in reference to its immediate surroundings. This is supposed to include a statement of the station’s estimated elevation above high water or some other well- defined level of the locality, such as a road or house; the character of the ground on which it is located, such as marsh land, sand beach, cultivated field, or meadow; esti- mated bearings in points of the compass and estimated distances in yards from (not to) easily recognized features, such as extreme end of point, edge of bluff, bank of creek, line of telephone poles, shore line, barn, house, fence, ditch, trees, or any other definite detail, such as being on range with the tangent of an island and a church; and so forth. When a standard monument has been established near the station as a “reference station,” this heading also covers a statement of the true bearing of the monument in degrees and minutes and its measured distance in meters, as it is the first object that is likely to catch the eye when the immediate vicinity of the desired station is reached and might be mistaken for the center mark of the ‘“‘observed station” unless special attention is called to it. The distinction between the “‘observed station”’ and “‘reference station’’ should be carefully noted by anyone making use of the description of stations for any future surveying operations. ‘The “observed station”’ is located at the particular triangulation point covered by the description of stations and is the one whose geographic position is first computed, as ‘ it is the point which was “‘occupied”’ and “‘observed on”’ for horizontal angles. _How- ever, in spite of the primary importance of the location of the “‘observed station,” it will be noted from the description of stations that frequently it is not marked as well ” as the “reference station,’ and in many instances has only a pine stub to indicate its position. ‘This is the case for the reason that the necessity of intervisibility of land- ce marks usually made it compulsory to locate ‘‘observed stations’? on edges of banks and ends of points of land, which in the tidewater section of Maryland generally means they will be washed away in a short period of years. The past experience of the Coast and Geodetic Survey in this region has shown the great need of ‘‘reference stations,”’ if the frequent reestablishment of a new framework of triangulation is to be avoided. The chief reason and need for the establishment of the ‘‘reference station,’ or secondary station, as it might be well named, is explained in the preceding paragraph, but in several instances other reasons, such as the location of the ‘‘observed station’’ on an unstable sand dune, in a cultivated field, in front of a residence, or other places objectionable to the landowner, have led to establishment of “reference stations.” Survey of Oyster Bars, Queen Annes County, Md. 29 ’ The location of the ‘‘reference station’”’ in relation to the “‘observed station”’ is fixed for plotting on charts or for computation of its geographic position by checked measure- ments of its distances and azimuth from the " Marks.—Under this heading is given a description of the character of the permanent monuments or other marks of the location of the ‘‘observed station,’’ and of the “‘ refer- ence station’’ where one has been established. All the marks designated in the descriptions as ‘“‘the center point of triangle on standard cement monument” are exactly alike. These monuments are made of cement, sand, and gravel, and are 2 feet long and 8 inches square at top and bottom. ‘Their tops are all marked with the same brass mold and show a center hole surrounded by a triangle, with the letters “‘M. S. F. C.” arranged around the vertex and the letters “U.S. C. $8.” undemeath the base of the triangle. The center hole is always in the center of the top of the monument by construction, and if this is found to have been broken off without disturbing the bottom the center of its square section can be used as the location of the station. All the “‘standard cement monuments,” whether used for marking the “observed station”’ or ‘‘reference station,’ have been planted upright in exactly the same manner, with their tops projecting 3 or 4 inches above the surface of the ground, unless otherwise stated. Therefore, as the above facts in reference to the “‘standard cement monuments”’ are a constant element in all cases, the repetition of these facts in the description of stations is made needless by this one statement. References.—Under this heading are given the ‘“‘rounds”’ of directions and distances to all objects that might be useful in locating the stations when the surface marks can not be found. It is also contemplated that for general purposes of topography, hydrog- raphy, or location of boundaries of oyster bars these references will be sufficient in many cases to relocate the position of an ‘‘observed station’’ or “‘reference station’? when both of them have been destroyed. The first reference object given in the descriptions is always a triangulation station visible from the station being described, this, if possible, being a lighthouse, church spire, or other permanent and prominent point. Its direction is taken as being 0° 00’ 00’’, and the directions of all other objects are measured from it as an initial point, the angles being taken in a clockwise direction (left to right). The true bearing? of the initial object is always given in parentheses alongside its name. ‘This furnishes means for the calculation of the bearings of any of the other reference objects for the purposes of locating a station by horizontal angles or for the relocation of corner buoys of oyster-bar boundaries by the method of compass directions described in this publication under the heading of “‘ Boundaries of oyster bars.” The distances in the last column under “‘References”’ are given in three different units, which vary according to their accuracy. The ‘‘miles” are statute miles and may be considered only as rough estimates. The “yards” are more accurate, but must be looked on as results generally obtained by pacing or careful estimating. The “‘meters,”’ ce observed station.” ’ ‘ 1 Geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude, distance, and azimuth) relating to any of the “observed stations” or of the “reference stations” described in this publication can be obtained by application to the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, at Washington, D. C. 2 The mean magnetic variation for Queen Annes County was 6° 15‘ west of north in rorr and increasing at the rate of 5’ yearly. 30 Survey of Oyster Bars, Queen Annes County, Md. however, are accurate to the degree indicated by their decimals and in every case have been measured with a steel tape. In the same manner the accuracy of the directions are indicated by the refinement of angular measure with which they are recorded. DESCRIPTIONS OF TRIANGULATION STATIONS. SWAN POINT 3.

The law of the State of Maryland, passed March 0, 1842, authorizing officers of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey to enter upon the lands within the State limits for the purposes of the survey, is as follows: AN ACT Concerning the Survey of the Coast of Maryland. Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland, That it shall and may be lawful for any person or persons employed under and by virtue of an act of the Congress of the United States, * * * at any time hereafter to enter upon lands within this State for the purpose of exploring, sur- veying, triangulating, or leveling, or doing any other matter or thing which may be necessary to effect the objects of said act, and to erect any works, stations, buildings, or appendages requisite for that purpose, doing no unnecessary injury to private or Other property. Src. 2.1 And be it enacted, That in case the person or persons employed under the act of Congress aforesaid, can not agree with the owners or possessors of the land so entered upon and used as to the amount of damage done thereto by reason of the removal of fences, cutting of trees or injury to the crop or crops growing on the same, it shall and may be lawful for the said parties or either of them to apply to the chief justice for the time being or one of the associate judges of the judicial district in which such land may be situated, who shall thereupon appoint three disinterested and judicious free- holders, residents of the same judicial district, to proceed with as much despatch as possible to the examination of the matter in question, and the faithful assessment of the damages sustained by the owners or possessors aforesaid, and the said freeholders or a majority of them, having first taken and subscribed an oath or affirmation before the chief or associate justice aforesaid or other person duly authorized to administer the same, that they will well and truly examine and assess as aforesaid, and having given five days’ notice to both parties of the time of their meeting, shall proceed to the spot, and then and there upon their own view and if required, upon the evidence of witnesses (to be by them sworn or affirmed and examined), shall assess the said damages, and shall afterward make report thereof and.of their proceedings in writing under their hands and seals and file the same within five days thereafter in the office of the clerk of the county in which the land aforesaid is situated, subject to an appeal by either party to the county court of the said county within ten days after filing as afore- said, and the said report so made as aforesaid if no appeal as aforesaid be taken, shall be held to be final and conclusive as between the said parties, and the amount so assessed and reported shall be paid to the said owners or possessors of the land so damaged within twenty days after the filing of said report, and the said chief or associate justice as aforesaid, shall have authority to tax and allow upon the filing of said report, such costs, fees and expenses to the said freeholders for the performance of their duty as he shall think equitable and just, which allowance shall be paid by the person or persons employed under the act of congress aforesaid, within the time last above limited, but if an appeal as aforesaid be taken, the case shall be set down for hearing at the first term of county court aforesaid, ensuing upon and after appeal, and it shall be lawful for either party immediately after the entry of such appeal, to take out summons for such witnesses as may be necessary to be examined upon the hearing aforesaid, and the said court shall have power in its discretion to award costs against which ever the final judgment shall be entered, and such appeal at the option of either party may and shall be heard before and the damage assessed by a jury of twelve men to be taken from the regular panel and elected as in other cases.

APPENDIX B.—THE HAMAN OYSTER CULTURE LAW. [Extract from Second Report of Shell Fish Commission.] OBJECT. “The legislature in placing chapter 711 of the acts of 1906, better known as the Haman Oyster Culture Law, upon the statute books of Maryland, had a twofold object in view. 1. To encourage an industry in oyster culture upon the barren bottoms beneath the tidewaters of the State. 2. To prevent the leasing of natural oyster bars for the purpose of oyster culture.”’ SURVEY. “To make the leasing of barren bottoms possible and the leasing of natural bars impossible, pro- vision was made for a survey of the natural bars for the purpose of accurately locating and marking the same. It was definitely provided that no barren bottoms should be leased in any part of the State until the natural bars of that region had been surveyed, charted, and marked with buoys.”’ DEFINITION OF A NATURAL OYSTER Bar. NATURAL BAR NOT DEFINED. “The Shell Fish Commission is instructed by section go of the Haman Oyster Culture Law to exercise its judgment liberally in favor of the natural bars when surveying, charting and buoying them, but other than this the Commission is uninstructed in this important matter. The responsibility of defining a natural bar is placed upon the Commission.”’ : DIVERSITY OF OPINION. “No definition of a natural oyster bar could be formulated by any man or body of men which would meet with the approval of all parties concerned. Oystermen, as a rule, hold that all bottoms where oysters grow or have grown naturally even though now practically barren of oysters should be considered natural bars. Other citizens of the State who are not directly interested in the oyster business, but interested in the oyster industry from the standpoint of revenue, hold, asa rule, that no bottoms should be excluded from leasing for oyster culture which, by methods known to oyster culturists, may be made to yield a greater number of oysters than they now produce.”’ “Tt should be evident to every one that neither of these definitions could be adopted by the Com- mission as a working basis for determining which of the grounds surveyed are natural oyster bars.”’ THE GOLDSBOROUGH DEFINITION. The definition of a natural oyster bar which very nearly approaches a reasonable and satisfactory compromise between the views of the subject held by oystermen on one hand and by oyster culturists on the other is that contained in an opinion rendered by Judge Charles F. Goldsborough in the circuit court for Dorchester County in the July term, 1881, in the case of William T. Windsor and George R. Todd v. Job T. Moore. This definition has been adopted by the Shell Fish Commission as the basis for the determination of the status of the various oyster bottoms surveyed, and is as follows: What then is a natural bar or bed of oysters? It would be.a palpable absurdity for the State to attempt to promote the propagation and growth of oysters and to encourage its citizens, by a grant of land, to engage in their culture, if the lands authorized to be taken up were only those upon which oysters do not and can not be made to grow. That there may be lands covered by water in the State where no oysters can be found, but where, if planted, they could be cultivated successfully, may be 174 Survey of Oyster Bars, Queen Annes County, Md. possible, but, if so, I imagine that their extent must be too limited for them to be of much practical, general advantage for the purposes of such a law as the one under discussion; but there are thousands of acres of hard and shifting sands where oysters not only are not found, but where it would be folly to plant them, and these latter it can not be supposed that the State intended to offer to give away, for the simple reason that the State could not help knowing that nobody would have them. — : Upon the other hand there are large and numerous tracts where oysters of natural growth» may be found in moderate numbers, but not in quantities sufficient to make it profitable to catch them, and yet where oysters may be successfully planted and propagated. In my opinion these can not be called natural bars or beds of oysters, within the meaning of the act of assembly, and it is just such lands as these that the State meant to allow to be taken up under the provisions of the above-mentioned section of the act. But there is still another class of lands where oysters grow naturally and in large quantities and to which the public are now and have been for many years in the habit of resorting with a view to earning a livelihood by catching this natural growth, and here, I think, is the true test of the whole question. Land can not be said to be a natural oyster bar or bed merely because oysters are scattered here and there upon it, and because if planted they will readily live and thrive there; but whenever the natural growth is so thick and abundant that the public resort to it for a livelihood, it is a natural oyster bar or bed and comes within the above-quoted restriction in the law, and can not be located or appropriated by any individual. APPLICATION OF DEFINITION. Before this definition may be of use in determining, accurately and scientifically, the status of an oyster ground, its central idea, “livelihood,’’ must be expanded into accurately determinable factors, and these factors must be confined into a practical scheme of investigating the condition of the ground under consideration. Stated briefly, a livelihood is represented by a sum of money obtained from the sale, at a fixed price, of a certain quantity of oysters gathered in a given time from an allotted area of ground. Knowing the value of each of these factors it becomes possible to calculate the number of oysters an oyster ground must produce per square yard in order that oystermen may secure a livelihood by working upon it. Notr.—The factors into which the commission resolved the livelihood problem, the value assigned to each factor, and the scheme devised for practical use in examining and applying the definition to oyster bottoms are given in outline in their second report under the heading of the preceding extract, and in detail in their first report on pages 32 to 69. APPENDIX C.—SUMMARY OF THE PARTICULAR SURVEYING OPERATIONS WHICH CON- STITUTE AN “OYSTER SURVEY’’ AS NOW BEING CARRIED ON IN MARYLAND. Explanation.—A brief account of the particular surveying operations which constitute an ‘“‘oyster survey’’ as now being carried on in Maryland will assist in the interpretation of records contained in the technical part of this report, and will be of interest to many who may not understand the necessity for the great amount of work being done or its complicated character. To those familiar with methods used in surveying and charting the characteristic features of large bodies of water tnere is an evident necessity for the various operations performed, especially when it is known that the boundaries of the public oyster bars and of the private lots leased for purposes of oyster culture must be surveyed and charted with the greatest practical accuracy. To others it will be sufficient to state that the actual experience gained from oyster surveys in other States has proven that in order to avoid endless dissatisfaction and litigation it is necessary to accurately locate and per- manently establish oyster boudaries as is now being done in Maryland. Triangulation survey.—Such refinement of survey work as that demanded by the conditions of an oyster survey when carried on at considerable distances offshore can only be obtained by the use of a system of triangulation as a framework or foundation. Therefore, a triangulation survey including the permanent marking of the positions of landmarks with monuments and a record of the descriptions of their locations for future recovery is a necessary operation of a complete oyster survey. Topographic survey.—The technical records which establish the relation between the offshore oyster boundaries and triangulation landmarks are sufficient for the requirements of engineérs in making resurveys, but do not supply the needs of others who are interested in the same boundaries by reason of their occupation as oystermen concerned as to the public oyster bars, or oyster culturists concerned Survey of Oyster Bars, Queen Annes County, Md. I wn / as to the leasable bottoms. For these it is necessary to have the charts of the survey show the relation of the shore line and other topographic features to the boundaries of the public oyster bars and private oyster farms. Therefore, a topographic survey is a necessary operation of a complete oyster survey Hydrographic survey.—In the settlement of the important question of what is, or what is not, a natural oyster bar, and in the consideration of bottoms to be selected for purposes of oyster culture, information as to the depth of water and the character of the bottom is required. Therefore, a hydro graphic survey is a necessary operation of a complete oyster survey. Necessary foundation for an oyster survey.—Consequently, the necessary components of a satis- factory foundation for a complete oyster survey are the three classes of survey operations technically named triangulation, topography, and hydrography, or, stated in another way, the foundation of a practical oyster survey includes the surveying operations usually followed by the Coast and Geodetic Survey leading up to the preparation and publication of nautical charts. $ Special surveys and investigations pertaining to oysters.—Having obtained this cartographic survey for a foundation, partly by new work and partly from records of previous work of the Government, the combined operations! making up an ‘‘oyster survey’’ are completed by superimposing on this foundation special surveys and investigations pertaining particularly to oysters or other shell fish. The special surveys pertaining to oysters furnish information as to the location and outline of oyster- shell bottoms, and are carried on by the sounding boat party in addition to the usual hydrographic work.? This operation consists of the observation and record of the character of vibration of a wire and chain apparatus which is dragged over the bottom, the vibrations or lack of vibrations indicating the presence and quantity of shells or absence of shells. The special oyster investigations * consist of the actual determination of the kind and quantity of oysters on the bottom, and such economic and biological studies of the supply of oyster food, density of water, character of the bottom, and other important matters as affects the growth of oysters. In this work the oyster investigation stations are located and buoyed by the hydrographic party while engaged in the survey of the oyster-shell limits. They are selected with the view of obtaining characteristic data which can be used for the interpretation of the recorded vibrations of the chain apparatus at all other points covered by the survey. Preparation of results—The actual surveying operations and oyster investigations having been completed for any one county, there still remains technical work of nearly equal magnitude to that described.* This work consists of the preparation of charts and technical descriptions of boundaries and landmarks for publication by the Government, the preparation of that part of the annual report of the commission covering the special oyster surveys and investigations, the making of the leasing charts and finished projections, and finally the filing of the oyster charts and records with the courts and the commission, thus opening a county for oyster culture. Summary.—From the foregoing account it can be seen that a complete oyster survey properly conducted so as to answer all practical requirements of the present and permanency of results for the future is a very complicated affair, involving many lines of surveying and other scientific work, and requiring the professional services of experts in the various operations of cartographic surveying and shell-fish investigations. !
