LETTER OF SUBMITTAL.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND LABOR,
Coast AND GEODETIC SURVEY,
Washington, October 5, rgrt.

Str: I have the honor to transmit herewith a report of the officer detailed from
the Coast and Geodetic Survey to cooperate with the Bureau of Fisheries and the Mary-
land Shell Fish Commission in surveying the oyster bars of the State of Maryland,
together with certain technical results which are necessary for the interpretation and
use of the plats of the survey made by the Government.

This work has been done under the provisions of the act of Congress entitled “An
act to authorize the Secretary of Commerce and Labor to cooperate, through the Bureau
of the Coast and Geodetic Survey and the Bureau of Fisheries, with the shell fish com-
missioners of the State of Maryland in making surveys of the natural oyster beds, bars,
and rocks in the waters within the State of Maryland,” approved May 26, 1906, and of
the acts of Congress making appropriations for sundry civil expenses of the Government
for the fiscal years ending June 30, 1907, 1908, 1909, 1910, 1911, and 1912.

Respectfully,
O. H. TirrMann, Superintendent.

To Hon. CHARLES NAGEL,
Secretary of Commerce and Labor.

SURVEY OF OYSTER BARS, KENT COUNTY, MD.

INTRODUCTION.
PUBLICATIONS.

The preparation of publications relating to the survey of the oyster bars of Maryland
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

1 See Appendix A for laws relating to the cooperation of 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.

8 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, and Kent 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 reportseare each arranged for
distribution and use in one county only without reference to other published records, much of the text of this publication 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.

6 See Appendix B for an extract from the ‘‘Second Report of the Maryland Shell Fish Commission,’’ giving a concise sum-
mary of the “Haman Oyster Culture Law.””

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 inerease 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.2 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 ot hydrographic projections and triangulation stations shown on
the county progress maps attached to each report.

1 See Appendix D of this publication for “Statistics of results of combined operations of the Government and State.”

2 Hon. George M. Bowers, Commissioner of Fisheries, has detailed for this service Dr. H. F. Moore, Assistant, Bureau of Fish-
eries.

3 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, Kent County, Md. 15

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 Jandmarks 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.

INSTRUCTIONS.

The following letters, together with the laws‘ of the United States relating
to the subject, constitute the ‘‘instructions’”’ received by the chief of the Coast and
Geodetic Survey party engaged 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 Wash-
ington, have proved very beneficial to the work and are greatly appreciated.

ORGANIZATION AND EQUIPMENT.

The personnel and occupation of the party of the Coast and Geodetic Survey have
remained practically unchanged since the beginning of the ‘‘oyster survey.” Besides
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 /nuspector and several other
boats furnished by its own service, and the occasional use of the Bureau of Fisheries
launch Canvasback 1 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 con-
sists of all necessary theodolites, levels, sextants, drafting instruments, hydrometers,
etc., required for all field and office work.

CHRONOLOGICAL STATEMENT OF WORK.

The field work of the Coast and Geodetic Survey in Kent 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 Rock Hall 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 Chesapeake
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 Kent and Queen Annes
counties.

On May 26, 1909, the Oyster was moved from Rock Hall Landing to an anchorage
in the upper part of Chester River near Cliffs Landing where she remained for a little
over a month. i

On June 30, 1909, the house boat was moved to a temporary anchorage off Queens-
town in the lower Chester River. 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 which
were all marked by monuments and signals, locations described, and then occupied
for theodolite 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.

3 The field work of Kent, Baltimore, and Queen Annes counties was so intermixed that the chronological statement of the
work of one of these counties necessarily includes a considerable part of the work of the other two counties.

18 Survey of Oyster Bars, Kent County, Md.

On July 6, 1909, the Governor McLane again moved the Oyster, this time from
Baltimore to an anchorage in Queen Annes County in the Eastern Bay entrance of
Kent Narrows. From this harbor as headquarters a few additional triangulation
observations were made in Kent County although the greater part of work while the
house boat was at this anchorage was confined to Queen Annes and Talbot counties.

On July 22, 1909, the house boat was again moved to the vicinity of Rock Hall
Landing to complete certain oyster survey operations not finished when the Oyster was
anchored there in the spring.

On August 5, 1909, the house boat was towed to Worton Creek which is located
at the extreme northern limit of oyster growth in Chesapeake Bay. From this harbor
all the remaining oyster survey work of the Coast and Geodetic Survey in both Kent
and Baltimore counties was completed, although some weeks later a Maryland Shell
Fish Commission party returned to these counties to finish certain oyster investiga-
tions and hydrographic observations.

The office work connected with the “oyster survey’’ of Kent County, including
compilations of geographic information and drafting necessary for the preparation
for publication of the oyster charts and the technical records, was continued inter-
mittingly with the office work of other counties from the beginning of the field work
in Kent County to the time of filing of the certified oyster charts and technical
reports in the archives of the Shell Fish Commission and with the clerk of the circuit
court of Kent County on October 5, rortr. ;

in connection with the oyster survey of Kent 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 Geo-
detic Survey as hydrographic records for future use in connection with the preparation of new editions of charts of the waters
of Maryland. See Appendix D of this publication for ‘‘Statistics of results of combined operations of the Government and

Survey of Oyster Bars, Kent County, Md. 19
GENERAL REMARKS.

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 Com-
mission’s annual report and Commissioner in charge of the biological and economic
oyster investigations, 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.

CHARTS AND MAPS.
CHARTS OF NATURAL OYSTER BARS.

The charts* of the natural oyster bars of Kent County, published by the Coast
and Geodetic Survey from results of surveys of the Government in cooperation with
the Maryland Shell Fish Commission, consist of three sheets covering a portion of the
waters of Chesapeake Bay and all of Chester River, including all oyster-producing
bottoms of Kent County. They are published on a scale of 1 part in 20,000 (approxi-
mately 3; inch to a statute mile) and are constructed on polyconic projections and
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 Com-
mission, and are certified for the purpose of filing in the office of the clerk of the Circuit
Court of Kent County and in the office of the 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 (U. S. 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 understandable
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 corre-
spond with the technical and legal descriptions of this publication under the heading
“Boundaries 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
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.

! 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 Kent 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 U. S. Geological Survey.

Survey of Oyster Bars, Kent County, Md. 21

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 1-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
Kent 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 the 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 given
in the legend and other notes on the face of the charts.

LEASING CHARTS.

The leasing charts of Kent County, like those for Anne Arundel, Somerset, Wicom-
ico, Worcester, Calvert, Charles, St. Marys, and Baltimore counties, have been prepared
under the direction of the hydrographic engineer of the Commission. They are con-
structed on polyconic projections which are based on the United States standard datum
of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, and are made on the scales of 1 part in 5,000 or 1
part in 10,000 as the needs of oyster culture may require.

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 laws 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.

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 Kent County waters are 10 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 lines, 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 Kent 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 carry-
ing out the laws of Maryland relating to oyster culture.

Besides indicating the amount of work done by the Coast and Geodetie 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.

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 ten acres situated within the territorial limits of any of the counties, or
one hundred acres in any other place.”

The boundary line? between the waters “within the territorial limits’’ of Kent
County and the waters in ‘“‘any other place,’’ as established by the Shell Fish Com-
mission 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 technically
described and defined as follows:

‘

of Chester River following the boundary line between Kent County and Queen Annes County to the
State boundary line between Maryland and Delaware.'

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 been delineated on “Charts of Natural Oyster Bars,’ and
“Progress Maps’”’ published by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, and is technically
described and defined as follows:

Commencing at a point defined by the intersection of a straight line across the mouth of Sassafras
River which straight line is defined by a point at its northern extremity situated on the northern side of
Sassafras River in latitude 39° 23’ 15’’.o and longitude 76° 02’ 22’’.5 and by a point at its southern extrem-
ity situated on the southern side of Sassafras River in latitude 39° 22’ 15’’.6 and longitude 76° 03’ 24’’.0
and the boundary line between Kent County and Cecil County along the middle of Sassafras River as
laid down on the “ Progressmap’’ accompanying the report of ‘‘Survey of Oyster Bars, Kent County,
Maryland;”’ thence in astraight line along the channel of the entrance to Sassafras River and across a part
of Chesapeake Bay to a point in Chesapeake Bay about 1’ miles northwest by west of Howell Point
and 134 miles south-southeast of Stony Point defined by latitude 39° 22’ 55’’.o and longitude 76° 08”
o5’’.o; thence in a straight line with Chesapeake Bay to a point about 2!4 miles west of Worton Point
and 214 miles northeast of Pooles Island defined by latitude 39° 19’ 00’.o and longitude 76° 13’ 43/7.5;
thence in a straight line with Chesapeake Bay to a point about 13; miles south of Pooles Island and 35¢
miles west by south of Fairlee Creek defined by latitude 39° 15’ 30’’.0 and longitude 76° 16’ 20’7.4;
thence in a straight line with Chesapeake Bay to a point about 4 miles west by north of Swan Point and
315 miles east of Seven Foot Knoll Light defined by latitude 39° 09’ 10’’.6 and longitude 76° 21’ 00’’.0;
thence in a straight line with Chesapeake Bay to a point about 25¢ miles east of Baltimore Light and 3°<

LANDMARKS (U. S. COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY TRIANGULATION
STATIONS).

EXPLANATION.

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 deserip-
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 Geodic Survey as the said Bureau may he 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 station.

METHOD OF DESCRIBING TRIANGULATION STATIONS.

The separate descriptions of triangulation stations should not be used without reading
the following explanation of the method oj describing the triangulation stations, as at con-
tains certain details that ave common to all the landmarks described in this publication
and which are omitted im the separate descriptions as being needless repetitions:

Name.—tThe 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 selec-
tion of the namie 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 reference to well-known and prominent natural or artificial features, such as the

25

26 Survey of Oyster Bars, Kent 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 3} inches to a statute mile) and show the location of the trian-
gulation 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-
marks usually made it compulsory to locate “observed stations’”’ on edges of banks and
ends of points of land, which in the tide-water 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, Kent County, Md. 27

) G

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 “observed station.” *

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. 5.”
underneath 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,’
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,”

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.

BOUNDARIES OF OYSTER BARS.
EXPLANATION.

The law of the United States authorizing the cooperation of the Department of
Commerce and Labor in the survey of natural oyster bars of Maryland provides for the
designation and employment by the Department of Commerce and Labor of such officers,
experts, and other technically qualified persons ‘‘as may be necessary to cooperate with
the Maryland State Board of Shell Fish Commissioners in making a survey of and
locating the natural oyster beds, bars, and rocks in the waters within the State of
Maryland.” ‘The oyster laws of Maryland provide that the Maryland Shell Fish Com-
missioners, with the aid of such persons as may be designated by the Government, shall
proceed “‘to have laid out, surveyed, and designated on the said charts the natural
beds and bars, and shall cause to be marked and defined as accurately as practicable
the limits and boundaries of the natural beds, bars, and rocks as established by said
survey, and they shall take true and accurate notes of said survey in writing, and make
an accurate report of said survey, setting forth such a description of landmarks as may
be necessary to enable the said board, or their successors, to find and ascertain the
boundary lines of the said natural oyster beds, bars, and rocks, as shown by a delinea-
tion on the maps and charts.’’ The oyster laws of Maryland also provide in another
section that there shall ‘““be made a true and accurate survey of the natural oyster
beds, bars, and rocks * * * with reference to fixed and permanent objects on the
shore, giving courses and distances, to be fully described and set out in a written report
of said survey.”

Under the provisions of the laws quoted above the State of Maryland, in coopera-
tion with the Department of Commerce and Labor, must define the boundaries of the
natural oyster bars “‘as accurately as practicable” and also “‘with reference to fixed and
permanent objects on the shore, giving courses and distances.”’ The requirement of
“as accurately as practicable” is easily fulfilled by definition of the location of the
corners of the oyster bars by latitude and longitude. In fact, this method is probably
the most satisfactory and accurate one that could be used for all purposes of legal
definition or for relocation of the oyster-bar boundaries by competent engineers. There-

~fore the additional requirement of “‘giving courses and distances”’ is superfluous and

is only fulfilled in the published definitions on account of the specific provisions of the
law making it compulsory. This part of the description of boundaries has involved
an immense amount of extra computations in order to prevent technical discrepancies
between the latitude and longitude of a corner of an oyster bar and its distance and
bearing from objects on shore of known latitude and longitude without adding anything
to the accuracy and very little to the convenience of practical use of the descriptions
of the oyster-bar boundaries.

As provided by law the boundaries of the oyster bars are all straight lines, but in
the work already completed they have inclosed areas of all shapes from triangles to

go

Survey of Oyster Bars, Kent County, Md. ol

complicated 14-sided figures, and of all sizes from 4 acres to 7,548 acres. ‘The sizes
have varied in length from 93 to 7,529 yards, and in some cases the corners of the bound-
aries have been practically at the triangulation stations from which they are located,
while in other instances they were over 13,600 yards from the landmarks most available
for the purpose of fixing their position.

The varied characteristics of the legal boundaries of the oyster bars indicated by
the above statement, together with the complicated requirements of the law under
which the survey has been made and the magnitude of the work with the consequent
need of fixed and uniform methods, have made the problem of describing the boundaries
one of considerable difficulty and great importance.

The boundaries of the oyster bars of Maryland, as establisaed by the Shell Fish
Commission and delineated on the Coast and Geodetic Survey charts and projections
and on the leasing charts of the Commission, are technically defined and described by a
method somewhat different from that used in other oyster surveys. But it is believed
that the forms finally adopted will fulfill all needs of the survey for both the present
and the future.

METHOD OF DESCRIBING BOUNDARIES.

The descriptions have been arranged in tabular form, thus avoiding many hundred
repetitions of the same words by making one explanation of the tables sufficient for all
oyster bars in each county.

Title —At the top of each tabular form is given the legal name of the oyster bar to
be described, and the one by which it is known and designated in the published oyster
records and on the oyster charts. The adopted name of the oyster bar is the one used
locally, as nearly as could be ascertained by the hydrographic engineer of the Commis-
sion; and when there was no local name in common use a name was selected from one
of the prominent features of the vicinity that would naturally suggest the section of
the waters where the oyster bar was located.

Underneath the name, in parentheses, is given the general locality of the oyster
bar and the serial number of the Maryland Oyster Chart on which its legal boundaries
are shown.'

First column.—This column, under the heading of ‘‘Corner of bar,” gives the number
corresponding to the corner of the boundary as shown on the charts and to the number
on the buoy marking the actual corner of the bar. The numbers of the corners have
been assigned by naming the southernmost point No. 1, thence proceeding in a clock-
wise direction around the bar. Where a corner of one oyster bar is identical with
the corner of the boundaries of one or more other oyster bars, only the number of the
corner of the oyster bar being described in the table is given in this column.

Second and third columns.—These two columns, under the headings of ‘‘Latitude”’
and “‘Tongitude,’”’ give the geographic positions of the corners. These positions have
been adopted by the Commission as the primary technical definition of the location of
the corners, and should be considered as final in case of a dispute arising from discrep-
ancies caused by other means of location. ‘The latitudes and longitudes given in these
columns are based on the United States standard datum of the Coast and Geodetic
Survey, and the points thus defined can be relocated from distant triangulation stations

1 These charts can be obtained by application tothe Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey at Washington, D.C.

of the survey, even though all the landmarks and buoys originally used for their loca-
tion have been destroyed by natural or other causes. .

Fourth and fijth columns.—These two columns, under the general heading of “True
bearing’’' and the specific headings ‘“‘Forward”’ and ‘“‘Back,’’ give bearings measured
from a true north-and-south line. The three “Forward” bearings are from the corner
of the boundary designated in the first column to the triangulation stations named on
the corresponding lines in the last column, and the three ‘“‘Back” bearings are from
these same stations in the last column to the corresponding corner of boundary in the
first column. The difference in minutes of are between the forward and back bearings
shown in some cases is actual and not accidental, and is due to the fact that the com-
putations took into account the spheroidal shape of the earth.

Sixth column.—This column, under the heading of ‘‘Distance,” gives the three
computed distances in yards from the corner of the bar noted in the first column to the
three triangulation stations named on the corresponding lines in the last column, and
vice versa.

Seventh column.—This column, under the heading of ‘U.S. C. & G. S. triangulation
station,” * gives the names of the landmarks from which were computed the corre-
sponding “Latitude,” “Longitude,” ‘“‘True bearing,’ and ‘‘Distance’”’ of the ‘‘Corner
the bar”’ designated in the first column. A full description of the location and markings
of these triangulation stations is given in another part of this publication under the
heading of ‘‘ Descriptions of triangulation stations.”

SURVEYING METHODS FOR RELOCATION OF BOUNDARIES.

There are a number of methods that can be used in the relocation of the actual
boundaries of the natural oyster bars as technically described in this publication and
delineated on the published charts of the Coast and Geodetic Survey and the leasing
charts of the Shell Fish Commission.

The following brief descriptions of five of these more or less different methods
assume a certain amount of experience and knowledge on the part of the engineer in
the particular kind of surveying under consideration, and are only intended as reminders
of ways and means that can be used.

There are two problems that are likely to present themselves to those interested in
the boundaries of natural oyster bars: one, to determine whether the buoys marking
_ the corners have been dragged or otherwise moved from their correct positions, and the
other, to relocate or reestablish a buoy at the point from which it was removed. The
different ways of solving these two problems partly depend upon the instruments
possessed by the engineer and his assistants and partly on his training and experience.

(1) Triangulation.—This method is the one that will give the greatest accuracy, but
on account of its requiring special data and instruments, and being an operation rarely
used by engineers not engaged in geodetic surveying, it is reeommended only for cases
in dispute that can not be settled satisfactorily by some other method. An explana-
tion of this class of work would be too long for a report of this sort, and those not familiar

Geodetic Survey, Washington, D. C,

with this method are referred to the publications on the subject by the Coast and Geo-
detie Survey. :

(2) Hydrographic.—Vhis method is the most simple and satisfactory one that can
be adopted if the surveyor can obtain the use of the necessary instruments and assistants.
It is the one best suited for the work of the engineers of the Commission in relocating
corners of boundaries, as it gives results of the accuracy ordinarily required and is rapid
in execution. Besides, it has the advantage of being available whenever three triangu-
lation stations of suitable relative positions are visible from the offshore points needing
relocation.

Most navigators and others familiar with the use of a sextant are well acquainted
with the graphic three-point method of fixing a position on water, and only a brief
description of the operation will be stated.

In the case where there is only one engineer having a single sextant, the three-point
method can be used if the two angles determining the position of a buoy are first derived
from the ‘“‘Forward’’ bearings given in the tabular forms describing the boundaries of
the oyster bars. For example, take Phoenix Shoal’’ oyster bar, which is the first one
described in this publication, and assume that “Corner No. 3,” is to be examined as to
its position. The angle between the two landmarks ‘“‘Worton Point 2”’ and “ Pooles
Island 2”’ as determined from right to left from the forward bearings from this corner is
132° o4’ and the angle between “ Pooles Island 2”’ and ‘“‘ Bramble.’ is 68° 13’. Having
these two angles, the engineer proceeds to the buoy of doubtful location and measures
the actual sextant angles between the landmarks for which the calculations were made.
If the measured and calculated angles do not agree the buoy is not in its correct position
and the boundary corner must be relocated. This is accomplished by moving the boat
about until a point is reached where the angles do agree, and this point being the desired
location, the buoy can be placed in its correct position.

If the engineer can obtain the use of both a sextant and a three-arm protractor
(‘position finder’), the availability of the hydrographic method is increased, as the use
of the protractor is essential in case of the washing away or destruction of one or more
of the landmarks originally used in describing the boundaries. Under these circum-
stances, any three landmarks of suitable relative position that are visible from the
point to be located can be utilized. For example, the engineer can proceed to the buoy
of doubtful position and measure the two adjacent sextant angles between the three
landmarks selected. These two angles are set off on the three-arm protractor and the
actual position of the buoy plotted on the chart by shifting the protractor about until
the edge of each of the three arms passes through the center of the symbols on the
chart marking the position of the three landmarks selected. The center of the hub of
the protractor will indicate on the chart the actual position of the buoy, and if the
point thus obtained does not coincide with the true position of the corner of the boundary
as given on the chart, the surveyor can proceed to locate the buoy correctly by reversing
the operation. This is done by placing the center point of the hub of the protractor
over the corner of the boundary in question and measuring on the chart the two adja-
cent protractor angles between the three selected landmarks. One of the angles thus
obtained is set on the sextant and the boat moved about until the two landmarks are
shown by the sextant to subtend the same angle obtained from the protractor. The

second angle is then placed on the sextant and the same operation gone through, and
so on, first using one angle on the sextant then the other until a point is.reached where
both observed sextant angles are practically identical with the protractor angles. The
point thus located is the desired one and the buoy can be placed to mark the true posi-
tion of the corner of the boundary in question.

If the engineer possesses two sextants and a protractor, this problem is far easier
of solution, as the two angles can be set off on separate sextants and the observer can
quickly find the desired point where they agree with the protractor angles by using one
sextant after the other without the need of resetting either.

If there are two observers, two sextants, and a protractor, it can be seen that the
best conditions for both rapid and accurate hydrographic location of a point is attained.
In fact, this is the method by which the buoys at the corners of the boundaries were
originally placed by the hydrographic engineer to the Commission.

(3) Magnetic bearings jrom offshore.—This method of fixing a position on water is
a simple and well-known one in navigation. It is available to anyone having a boat
compass and will be of special use to the State fishery force in investigating cases where
buoys are supposed to have been moved for illegal purposes.

In the case where a buoy is supposed to have been moved from its true position the
observer can take compass bearings to the three landmarks given in the last column of
the tables opposite the boundary corner in question. These bearings are then corrected
for the local declination,’ and if the results agree with the published bearings the buoy
is correctly located.

In the case where the buoy is not in its correct position, or has disappeared altogether,
the desired point can be determined by maneuvering the vessel until the corrected bearings
agree with the ones in the tabular descriptions, when the buoy can be anchored in its
proper location.

In the case where the landmarks, for which the bearings are published, have been
destroyed or washed away, any landmarks whose positions are indicated on the charts
can be used. This can be done by getting their bearings directly from the chart by
parallel rulers or a protractor and then applying these new bearings in the same manner
as the ones published in the tables.

(4) Magnetic bearings jrom shore.—This method will be of special value to engineers
having an ordinary surveyor’s compass. The compass can be set over the point mark-
ing a “triangulation station’’ on shore, the name of which is given in the last column
opposite the “corner” in question. The instrument is then set at the corresponding
“back”’ bearing (corrected for local magnetic declination) given in the fifth column
of the tables opposite the “corner’’ in question. The direction thus determined will
give one range on which the desired point must be located. ‘The compass can then be
moved to a second triangulation station and another range located in a similar manner.
The intersection of these two range lines will give the desired point; but in general it
should be checked by an additional range line determined from a third station.

(5) Horizontal angles measured at landmarks.—This process is a modification of the
triangulation method, and will be useful to engineers who have a transit and desire
considerable accuracy.

1 The mean magnetic variation for Kent County is 6° rs’ west of north in 1911 and increasing at the rate of 5’ yearly.

Survey of Oyster Bars, Kent County, Md. 95

The instrument is placed over a “triangulation station,’’ the name of which appears
in the last column of the tabular description opposite the ‘‘corner” in question. The
telescope is then pointed to the landmark indicated in the * Descriptions of landmarks”’
as having a direction of 0° 00’ oo’ from the triangulation station being occupied by the
transit. The tabular description of the boundaries is next examined and the “back”
bearing of the questionable boundary “corner” from the landmark being occupied is
taken out. The angle calculated from this ‘‘back”’ bearing and the bearing given in
parentheses alongside the zero landmark in the “Descriptions of landmarks” is then
set off on the transit and a range line established on which the desired point must be
located. A similar process is then carried on at a second station, and so on until the
position of the buoy is satisfactorily fixed.

The law of the State of Maryland, passed March 9, 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.

SeEcTION 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

126 Survey of Oyster Bars, Kent County, Md.

States, * * * atany time hereafter to enter upon lands within this State for the purpose of exploring,
surveying, 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.

Sec. 2.) 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 freeholders,
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 posses-
sors 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 proceed-
ings 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 aforesaid, 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 afore-
said, 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.

Sec. 3. And be it enacted, That if any person or persons shall wilfully injure or deface or remove
any signal, monument or building or any appendage thereto, erected, used or constructed under and
by virtue of the act of congress aforesaid, such person or persons so offending shall severally forfeit and
pay the sum of fifty dollars with costs of suit to be sued for and recovered by any person who shall first
prosecute the same before any justice of the peace of the county where the person so offending may
reside, and shall also be liable to pay the amount of damages thereby sustained, to be recovered with
costs of suit in an action on the case, in the name and for the use of the United States of America, in
any court of competent jurisdiction.

AppENDIx B.—THE HAMAN OYSTER CULTURE LAW.
[Iextract from Second Report of Shell Fish Commission.]
OBJECT.

“The legislature in placing chapter 711 of the acts of r906, better known as the Haman Oyster
Culture Law, upon the statute books of Maryland, had a twofold object in view:
rt. To encourage an industry in oyster culture upon the barren bottoms beneath the tidewaters of
the State.
562: elo: prevent the leasing of natural oyster bars for the purpose of pues culture.”

1 Under the rulings of the Comptroller of the Treasury no danas can be collected except aioe the United States Court
of Claims unless an agreement has been made in advance.

Survey of Oyster Bars, Kent County, Md. 12

N

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 90 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.’’ f

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, as a 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
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.

128 Survey of Oyster Bars, Kent County, Md.
APPLICATION OF DEFINITION.

3efore 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 combined into a practical scheme of investigating the condition of the ground
under consideration.

Stated briefly, a /ivelihood 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.

Nore.—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.

Appenpix 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 there 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 boundaries 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 engineers 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
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 componénts 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 founda-
tion special surveys and investigations pertaining particularly to oysters or other shell fish.

1 See Appendix D of this publication for ‘‘Statistics of results of combined operations of the Government and State.”

Survey of Oyster Bars, Kent County, Md. 129

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 affect 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 investigatiofis, 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.

2 See pages 30 to 67 and 129 to 199 of “First Annual Report of Maryland Shell Fish Commission.”

8 No mention is made here of the large amount of administrative work of the Commission, which is greatly complicated and
increased by the effect of the oyster-survey operations on many thousands of people whose interests are more or less involved; or
of the large amount of survey work involved in the survey and record of the boundaries of oyster lots leased from the State by
private individuals for the purposes of oyster culture.
