WAR 13. 1914 LETTER OF SUBMITTAL, DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, CoasT AND GEODETIC SURVEY, Washington, May 28, 1913. Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith the final report of the officer de- tailed from the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey as representative of that service on the work of the Maryland Oyster Survey. The report, together with its accompanying index chart, is designed to serve both as a summary of and as an index to the 17 technical publications and 43 oyster charts resulting from the cooperation of the Maryland Shell Fish Commission, the United States Bureau of Fisheries, and the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey in the survey of the oyster resources of Maryland. The 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 Commissioners 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, 1912, and 1913.

HISTORY. A summary view of the history of the oyster industry of Maryland is graphically represented by the diagram by Grave, which faces this page. (XX XVI.) ! Another summary view of the same subject is presented by the chronological table of publications under the head of ‘‘References,” 1 which were selected and arranged partly for that purpose. The diagram and the table of publications, while being in most respects a suffi- cient historical statement for the purposes of this publication, do not do justice to the many whose unselfish activities for the benefit of the oyster industry of Maryland have not followed the line of public work leading to a corresponding amount of printed records. And although these public-spirited citizens and officials are hundreds in number, there stands out at the head of this line of achievement, as do Brooks (V) ! and Winslow (//)' along their respective lines, the author? of the Haman Oyster Culture Law (XLII, pp. 353-372) ' who has most splendidly and persistently led the movement which has molded the history of oyster culture in Maryland for more than twenty years down to the present time. (V/JJ/.)! OBJECT. The immediate object of the Maryland Oyster Survey, as distinguished from the hopes of the ultimate benefits to be derived from that work, having been transformed into actual results, it is needless to emphasize this phase of the subject beyond refer- ring to the statistical statements under the head of ‘‘Results” and to the graphic representation of these same facts on the ‘‘Index Chart.” But the ultimate object of the survey is another matter, and deals more nearly with what the pioneers of the oyster-culture movement in Maryland believed, and now have still more reason to believe, will be the form of the great oyster industry they expect to see erected on the foundation which has been laid for that purpose. VIE) It now seems not only reasonable but probable that within the next generation the citizens of Maryland will be leasing and cultivating a probable 100,000 and a pos- sible 300,000 acres? of so-called ‘“‘barren bottoms” where oysters do not now grow in commercial quantities; that the more than 200,000 acres of natural oyster bars now reserved for the use of the oystermen as a result of the Maryland Oyster Survey will be so conserved and developed that they will produce, as they have done before, twice the amount they now yield; that the oyster industry of Maryland will then be based on an annual production of 20,000,000 bushels of oysters where now it is 1 See “References,” p. 19. 2B. Howard Haman, of Baltimore, Md. 3 At the present date, May 23, 1913, some 36,000 acres have been applied for or leased. 10 SUMMARY OF SURVEY OF OYSTER BARS OF MARYLAND. barely 5,000,000; and that the physical valuation of the State-owned oyster lands will then be $100,000,000, where now it is not more than $20,000,000. (XXIV, p. 208; XLII, pp. 35-46; XLV.)! These are the large expectations that measured, and do still measure, the ulti- mate object of the Haman Oyster Culture Law, and which led to the building of the Maryland Oyster Survey in such a manner that it will serve as a foundation for even a greater development of the oyster industry of Maryland than was forecasted by its founders. ORGANIZATION. The organization of the Maryland Oyster Survey has been indicated in the ‘Introductory statements” and in the ‘‘Conclusions.”’ It is also described in detail in the publications of the Maryland Shell Fish Commission (XLIIJ, pp. 11-25) * and the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey (X LIV, pp. 19-21, 248-250).! In a general way it is sufficient to state that the greater bulk of the work of this particular oyster survey was divided between the Maryland Shell Fish Commission ? and the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey in accordance with the laws (XLIV, pp. 243-246) * authorizing the work and the natural division of the survey- ing operations of the cooperating forces. The work of the Maryland Shell Fish Commission included all the oyster inves- tigations, the special hydrographic operations required to delimitate the various shellfish bottoms, the surveying of the leased oyster lots, and all administrative matters pertaining to Maryland. The work of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey included the establishing of the surveying foundation of triangulation, hydrography and topography, the preparation and publication of the technical and legal descriptions of the boundaries of the various shellfish bottoms reserved for the use of the public, and the preparation and publication of all the oyster charts showing the results of the work of the Maryland Oyster Survey. Dr. H. F. Moore, the well-known scientist of the United States Bureau of Fisheries and representative of that bureau on the work of the Maryland Oyster Survey, has stated that ‘‘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.’’ To which should be added in the way of explanation, that the part of the survey normally coming under the jurisdiction of the United States Bureau of Fisheries was in this case carried on by the State under the supervision of Dr. Caswell Grave, the scientific member of the Maryland Shell Fish Commission. If it had not been for this fortunate circumstance, to again quote Dr. Moore, ‘‘this work would have been conducted by the Bureau of Fisheries acting independently, as has been the case in certain other States than Maryland, the same ends being attamed at greater expense to the Government.’’ (XLIV, p. 20.) ! It should be stated also that the sanitary survey of the oyster-producing waters of Maryland by the United States Bureau of Chemistry was not carried on with the advantage of the same degree of cooperation as probably would have been the case if the character of this feature of the work could have been more nearly forecasted at the beginning. (XX XV.) ' 1 See “References,” p. 19. 3 See “ Personnel,’ p. 14. MARYLAND OYSTER SURVEY. ak METHODS. The methods employed on the work of the Maryland Oyster Survey being indi- cated in outline in the ‘‘Conclusions”’ and also explained in detail in the publica- tions of the Maryland Shell Fish Commission (XLJ///, pp. 48-95)! and the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey (X LIV, pp. 248-249, 172-177, 33-36, 20-21),! it is not in harmony with the plan of this publication to repeat that information here. But there is one point in the methods not adequately explained elsewhere in the publications of the Maryland Oyster Survey which it is believed should be empha- sized. And that point relates to the advantages of the use of geographic coordi- nates in technically and legally defining boundaries of natural oyster bars and leased oyster bottoms. This method of defining property lines under water was also used in the survey of the leased oyster bottoms of Delaware, and outlined in the following extract from the report of that work (XY LVIIJ, pp. 69-74): The difficulties of accurately locating and permanently defining the boundaries of a farmer’s planta- tion on land, even with the aid of monuments, public roads, streams of water, and other points of refer- ence, are often great, judging from the disputes arising from this source. But be that as it may, there can be no doubt as to the difficulties of accurately locating and permanently defining the boundaries of an oysterman’s plantation situated under water at a distance off shore from 1 to 6 miles, as is the case with the leased oyster bottoms of Delaware. (XJ, VIII, map.)! There is only one point on the earth’s surface at the intersection of any one parallel of latitude and any one meridian of longitude, and therefore, there can be no dispute as to the meaning of such a geo- graphic definition of the location of a point, even though all the original triangulation station marks used in its determination, together with the chart on which its position was originally plotted, have been totally destroyed. In the case of the destruction of an original triangulation station mark, or any other point defined by a geographic position, a competent geodetic engineer can reestablish its exact location by means of a new system of triangulation connecting with other distant triangulation station marks which have not been destroyed. In the case of the destruction of the chart on which the position of any such point on the earth’s surface was originally plotted, this point can be replotted by its geographic position with any degree of accuracy permitted by the scale of any new chart constructed for that purpose. If there be no question at the time of the original location and legal adoption of a geographic definition of the location of a point by a given latitude and longitude, there can be no technical or legal question afterwards as to its exact meaning, or as to the exact redetermination of the location of this point, be it either on land or water at its newly determined position, or on a new chart in its newly plotted position. For these reasons, the method of defining the location of boundary points by latitudes and longitudes (geographic positions) was adopted in the survey of the leased oyster bottoms of Delaware. This method is more or less an innovation in oyster surveys which was first used in connection with the work of the Mary- land Oyster Survey. It possesses so many undoubted advantages, and at the same time is so simple in principle and application when once understood, that its adoption by other oyster surveys of other States than Maryland and Delaware seems probable. RESULTS. The results of the Maryland Oyster Survey are presented in many forms and in many places throughout the publications of that survey. Graphically, they are represented on a large scale on the Maryland Oyster Charts, Nos. 1 to 42. (ZIV.)! On a medium-sized scale, they are partly shown on 1See “References,” p. 19. 12 SUMMARY OF SURVEY OF OYSTER BARS OF MARYLAND. the ‘‘ Progress maps” in the series of the 12 county publications of Survey of Oyster Bars of Maryland.!. On a much snaller scale they are represented as a whole on the ‘Index Chart”’ in the folder of this publication. Statistically, the results are also described in various tables both in the publi- cations of the Maryland Shell Fish Commission (X LI/J, pp. 39-47, 102-103, 114-117, 126-127, 132, 145-149, 182-183, 189, 195-199, 206-210, 225-228, 239-241, 246, 321-322, 336-339)! and the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey (X VIII, pp. 181g xX, p. 16, XX p. 16; XA VEL,’ p. 16,7 X20ViE pp. 22-23; ae p. 14; XXXII, p. 14: XXXIX, p. 18; XL, p. 21; XLIV, p. 25; XLVI, pp. 23, 180).1 But as these tables are too separated for the purposes of a summary view, their principle features will be given in groups of statistics arranged in accordance with the class of the results it is desired to present.

INTRODUCTION. PUBLICATIONS. The preparation of publications relating to the survey of the natural 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 part prepared under the direction of the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey consists of this publication and a series of large-scale charts. "The charts show all legal boundaries of natural oyster bars within the waters opened up for leasing with Anne Arundel County and the location of all landmarks (Coast and Geodetic Survey triangulation stations) used in connection with the delineation of these boundaries. This publication gives a technical description of the oyster-bar boundaries and landmarks shown on the charts, and includes the report of the represent- ative of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. The part to be published by the Shell Fish Commission will include a report of the work executed by the commission under the provisions of the oyster-culture laws of Maryland, descriptions of oyster investigations and the delimitation of oyster bars, and other important legal and scientific information. 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 for a correct and practical survey of natural oyster bars; and it being one of the fundamental functions of the Coast and Geodetic Survey to furnish such data for all surveying, charting, and other allied purposes within the area of the operations of the service, the cooperation of the Coast and Geodetic Survey with the Maryland Shell Fish Commission is a practical and useful development_of Government work. 13 14 Survey of Oyster Bars, Anne Arundel County, Mad. LAWS RELATING TO THE COOPERATION. The work of the Coast and Geodetic Survey and of the Bureau of Fisheries, in coop- eration with the Maryland Shell Fish Commission, in surveying and publishing charts of natural oyster bars, establishing permanent landmarks over triangulation stations, and preparing for publication the necessary technical and legal descriptions of boundaries and landmarks delineated on the charts, has been executed in compliance with a request from the Governor of the State of Maryland to the Secretary of Commerce and Labor, and by authority of the following laws of the United States and Maryland: [Act of Congress approved May 26, 1906.] 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 Commissioners of the State of Maryland in making surveys of the natural oyster beds, bars, and rocks in the waters within the State of Maryland. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Secretary of Commerce and Labor be, and he is hereby, authorized and directed, upon the request of the governor of the State of Maryland, to designate such officers, experts, and employees of the Bureau of the Coast and Geodetic Survey and of the Bureau of Fisheries 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; and the Secretary of Commerce and Labor is hereby authorized and directed to furnish to the officers, experts, and employees of said Bureaus so detailed as aforesaid such instruments, appli- ances, and steam launches as may be unecessary to make the survey aforesaid; and the Secretary of Commerce and Labor is hereby authorized to have made in the Bureay of the Coast and Geodetic Survey all the plats necessary to show the results of the aforesaid survey and the locations of the said natural oyster beds, bars, and rocks in the waters within the State of Maryland, and to furnish to the Board of Shell Fish Commissioners of the State of Maryland such copies as may be necessary, and for this purpose to employ, in the District of Columbia and elsewhere, such technically qualified persons” as may be necessary to carry out the purpose of this act. SEC. 2.

The law of the State of Maryland, passed March 9, 1842, authorizing officers of the U. S. 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, 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 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 afterwards 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 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 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 said 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 whichever the final judgment shall be entered, and such appeal, at the option of either party, may and shall be heard before, and the damages 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. Survey of Oyster Bars, Anne Arundel County, Md. 17 CHARTS AND MAPS. CHARTS OF NATURAL OYSTER BARS. The charts” of the natural oyster bars of ‘‘Anne Arundel County and Adjacent Waters,’’ published by the Coast and Geodetic Survey from results of surveys of the Government in cooperation with the Maryland Shell Fish Commission, consist of a series of four sheets, covering the west shore of Chesapeake Bay from Fort Carroll to Holland Point. They are published on the scale of 1 part in 20,000 (approximately 3% inches 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 bar and other boundaries established by the Com- mission, and are certified by them for the purpose of filing in the office of the clerk of the circuit court of Anne Arundel County and in the office of the Commission at Annapolis, as required by the oyster-culture laws of Maryland. In addition to the boundaries, the charts show the location and name of all land- marks (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 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, and are not designated by numbers, as might suggest itself on first thought as being the best method when the great number of oyster bars in the whole State are considered. By the use of local names, it is believed that much confusion will be avoided in the location of oyster bars, especially by those not familiar with charts. J The corners of the oyster bars are numbered from 1 to the total number of corners in each bar under consideration. Where bars adjoin, making one point a corner of two or more bars, these points have two or more numbers, each corresponding to the bar in which the figure is located. The numbers of the corners correspond with the technical and legal descriptions given in this publication under the heading ‘‘ Boundaries of natural oyster bars.’’ The natural oyster bars and landmarks have been grouped in the contents of this publication in accordance with the charts upon which they are shown. To find a par- ticular 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. The contours for the depth of water at mean low tide have been taken from the hydrographic sheets of the Coast and Geodetic Survey at Washington. Four curves “For copies of these charts apply to the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey at Washington, D. C. 330—07 2 18 Survey of Oyster Bars, Anne Arundel County, Md. 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 the oyster industry. The 1-fathom contour (6 feet) and the 5-fathom contour (30 feet) practically include all the natural oyster bars surveyed, while the 3-fathom contour (18 feet) furnishes the curve of about the average depth. The 1o-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 waters not within these limits but opened up for the leasing with the 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 natural oyster bars were determined under the direction of the hydrographic engineer of the Commission by two independent planimeter meas- urements made of the area of the bars as delineated on the smooth projections of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. These areas are given in small figures on the face of the chart within the boundaries of the bars. 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 notes on the charts. PROJECTIONS. The polyconic projections, like the charts which are described in the preceding section, were all constructed by draftsmen of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. ‘These draftsmen also plotted the sextant positions on the smooth projections which determine - the location of the legal boundaries of the natural oyster bars as delineated by the Shell Fish Commission. A copy of each of these projections, with all the plotted positions of triangu- lation 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 natural oyster bar and other boundaries established by the commission. One set of these projections is filed in the archives of the Coast and Geodetic Survey at Washington and the other set is filed in the office of the Shell Fish Commission at Annapolis. PROGRESS MAP. The progress map” attached to this publication is on a scale of one part in a hundred thousand, and shows in outline the work accomplished by the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey in Anne Arundel County and contiguous waters. It gives the scheme of all the charts and smooth projections constructed in connection with the survey of the natural oyster bars, the location and names of all triangulation stations used as a basis for the surveying work, and the ‘‘ Boundaries of county waters’’ established «For this map, see folder at end of this publication.

BOUNDARIES OF COUNTY WATERS, WATERS WITHIN TERRITORIAL LIMITS OF THE COUNTY. The laws relating to oyster culture under which the Maryland Shell Fish Commis- sion is executing its survey, 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.’’ A The boundary line? between the waters ‘‘ within the territorial limits” of Anne Arundel County and the waters in ‘‘any other place,’’ as established by the Shell Fish Commission and delineated on the charts and the smooth projections of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, is technically described and defined as follows : Commencing ata point defined by the intersection of the northern boundary line of Anne Arundel County with the center line of Fort McHenry Channel; thence along the center line of Fort McHenry Channel past Fort Carroll toa point at the intersection of the center line of Fort McHenry Channel and the center line of Brewerton Channel ; thence along the center line of Brewerton Channel to a point defined by the intersection of the center line of Brewerton Channel and a straight line between North Point (Old Tower) and a point defined by latitude 39° 09/ 59.3’ and longitude } 76° 28/ 39.7’’, situated on Rock Point; thence in a straight line to a point defined by latitude 39° 09’ 59.3/’ and longitude 76° 28/ 39.7/’ situated on Rock Point; thence following the mean low-water line along the shore of the bay to a point defined by latitude 39° 08’ 10.6’” and longitude 76° 26/ 21.2’, situated on Frankie Point; thence in a straight line across the mouth of Bodkin Creek to a point situated at the center of the old light-house tower on Bodkin Point ; thence following the mean low-water line along the shore of the bay to a point defined by latitude 39° 03’ 35.2’ and longitude 76° 25’ 56.4’’, situated on Mount- ain Point; thence in a straight line across the mouth of Magothy River to a point defined by latitude 39° 03/ 11.1” and longitude 76° 26’ 18.7”, situated on Persimmon Point; thence following the mean low-water line along the shore of the bay around Sandy Point toa point defined by latitude 38° 59/ 10.1” and longitude 76° 25/ 33.4”, situated on Hackett Point; thence in a straight line across the mouth of Whitehall Bay to a point defined by latitude 38° 58’ 25.0” and longitude 76° 27’ 19.0”, situated on Green- bury Point; thence in a straight line across the mouth of Severn River to a point defined by latitude 38° 56’ 28.0” and longitude 76° 27’ 00.0”, situated on Tolly Point; thence following the mean low-water line along the shore of the bay to a point defined by latitude 38° 54’ 42.0’ and longitude 76° 27’ 25.2’, situated on a point of land on the north side of Fishing Creek; thence in a straight line across the mouth of Fishing Creek to a point defined by latitude 38° 54’ 29.1’ and longitude 76° 27’ 12.9’’, situ- ated on Thomas Point; thence in a straight line across the mouth of South River to a point defined by latitude 38° 53/ 13.6’ and longitude 76° 29/ 21.9’’, situated on Saunders Point; thence following the mean low-water line along the shore of the bay toa point defined by latitude 38° 52’ 10.4” and longi- a@See Charts of Natural Oyster Bars, published by the U: S.

WATERS CONTIGUOUS TO THE COUNTY. The oyster-culture 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 Commis- sioners in the city of Annapolis;’’ 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 the leasing with Anne Arundel County, a boundary line between the waters contiguous to, but not within the territorial limits of Anne Arundel County and the waters contiguous to, but not within the territorial limits of adjacent counties, has been established by the Shell Fish Commission. ‘This boundary line“ has been delineated on the charts of the 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 center line of Brewerton Channel and a straight line between North Point (Old Tower) and a point defined by latitude 39° 09’ 59.3/’ and longitude 76° 28/ 39.7’, situated on Rock Point; thence along the center line of Brewerton Channel and a continuation of the same line to a point defined by latitude 39° 09/ 10.6’ and longitude 76° 21/ 00.0/7, situated about 3,°, miles) east ¢ of Seven Foot Knoll Light and 3,3, miles southeast of Craighill Channel Light (Front Range); thence due south in a straight line to a point defined by latitude 39° 03/ 30.0’7 and longitude 76° 21/ 00.0’, situated about 25g miles from Baltimore Light, nearly on a straight line between Baltimore Light and Love Point Light; thence in a straight line to a point defined by latitude 39° 00’ 57.2’ and longitude 76° 21/ 34.0’, situated about 1,9; miles east of Sandy Point Light; thence in a straight line toa point defined by latitude 38° 53/56.2’” andlongitude 76° 24’ 32.0’, situ- ated about 1,4, miles east of Thomas Point Light; thence in a straight line to a point defined by latitude 38° 50’ o1.1// and longitude 76° 26/ 15.0’, situated about 2% miles west of Bloody Point Bar Light; thence in a straight line to a point defined by latitude 38° 42’ 33.4/” and longitude 76° 27’ 40.0/’, situated about 354 miles east of Hog Point; thence in a straight line to a point defined by the inter- section of the mean low-water line of the shore of the bay and the southern boundary line of Anne Arundel County, in the vicinity of Hog Point.

LIST OF NATURAL OYSTER BARS WITHIN DREDGING AREA OF COUNTY. The natural oyster bars open under the existing laws of Maryland for tonging or dredging, as the case may be, are not so classed and shown on the published charts, as it is a matter more or less subject to change by legislation independent of the oyster- culture laws of Maryland. : However, the Commission in establishing the legal boundaries of the oyster bars have so fixed the limits of certain bars that in every case their boundaries are within or coincident with the boundary line between the tonging and dredging areas. In estab- lishing these boundaries, the Commission have adopted the tonging-dredging limits furnished to them through the courtesy of the Commander of the State Fishery Force. Most of the natural oyster bars open for dredging are of large area but few in number, and a complete list of the dredging bars in ‘‘Anne Arundel County and Adjacent Waters,’’ is given below to facilitate the search of anyone desiring to locate them on the published charts: Chart No. 1: Lumps East of Craighill Channel.

EXPLANATION OF DESCRIPTIONS OF BOUNDARIES. The natural oyster bars of Anne Arundel County are gt in number, and their total area as marked out by buoys placed by the hydrographic engineer of the com- mission is 33,666 acres. As provided by law, the limits of the oyster bars are all straight lines, but they inclose areas of all shapes from triangles to complicated nine- sided figures, and of all sizes from 4 acres in the rivers to 7,548 acres in the bay. 22 Survey of Oyster Bars, Anne Arundel County, Mad. The sides vary in length from 93 to 7,529 yards, and in some cases the corners of the boundaries are practically at the triangulation stations from which they are located, while in other instances they are over 10,000 yards from the landmarks most avail- able for the purposes of fixing their positions. 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 executed, and the magnitude of the work with the con- sequent need of fixed and uniform methods, has made the problem of describing the boundaries, one of considerable difficulty and importance. . The boundaries of the natural oyster bars of Anne Arundel County, as estab- lished by the Shell Fish Commission and delineated on the Coast and Geodetic Survey charts and projections, 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, and that they can be continued, with slight modifications to the end of the work. z 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 the county. At the top of each tabular form is given the legal name of the natural oyster bar to be described, its general locality, and the number of the chart on which its legal boundaries are shown. The first column under the heading of ‘‘Corner of bar’’ gives the number corre- sponding 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; but where a corner of one bar is identical with the corner of one or more other bars, only the number of the corner of the oyster bar being described in the table is given in this column. ‘The second and third columns under the headings of ‘‘ Latitude’’ and ‘‘ Longitude”’ give the geographic positions of the corners. ‘These positions have been adopted by the commission as the primary technical definition of the corners, and should be consid- ered as final in case of a dispute arising from discrepancies caused by other means of loca- tion. ‘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 of the Survey, even though all the land- marks and buoys originally used for their location have been destroyed by natural causes or by the acts of vandals desiring to defeat the purposes of the oyster-culture law. The fourth and fifth columns, under the general heading of ‘‘’T'rue bearings’’“ 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 @ The mean magnetic declination in Anne Arundel County in 1907 was 5° 45’ west of north and the annual increase 3’. Survey of Oyster Bars, Anne Arundel County, Mad. 23 difference in minutes of arc between the forward: and back bearings shown in some cases is actual and not accidental, and is due to the fact that the computations took into account the spheroidal shape of the earth. The sixth column under the heading of ‘‘ Distance” gives the three computed dis- tances in yards from the corner of the bar noted in the first column to the triangulation stations named on the corresponding lines in the last column, and vice versa. The seventh and last column, under the heading of ‘U.S.C. & G.S. Triangulation Station,’’“ gives the names of the landmarks from which were computed the correspond- ing ‘‘Latitude,” ‘‘ Longitude,” ‘‘’True bearing,’ and ‘‘ Distance” of the ‘‘ Corner of the bar” designated in the first column. A full description of the location and mark- ings of these triangulation stations is given in another part of this publication, under the heading of ‘‘ Descriptions of landmarks.”’ ” 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. 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 problemis 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 recommended only for cases in dispute that can not be settled satisfactorily by some other method. An explanation of this class of work would be too long for a report of this sort, and those not familiar with this method are referred to the publications on the subject by the Coast and Geodetic Survey. (2) Hydrographic.—This method is the most simple and satisfactory one that can be adopted if the surveyor can obtain the use of the necessary instruments and. assist- ants. It is the one best suited. for the work of the engineers of the Commission in locating 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 triangulation stations of suitable relative ese oes are visible from the off-shore 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. 4 Geographic positions of these triangulation stations can be obtained by application to the Super- intendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey at Washington, 24 Survey of Oyster Bars, Anne Arundel County, Ma. In the case where there is only one engineer having a single sextant, the three- point method can be used, but not until the two angles determining the position of any buoy have been calculated from the ‘‘ Forward bearing’’ given in the tabular forms describing the boundaries of the oyster bars. For example, take ‘‘ Traces Hollow’’ bar, described on page —, and assume that ‘‘Corner No. 3’’ is to be examined as to its position. ‘The angle between the two landmarks ‘‘Cool’’ and ‘‘ Weems,’’ as determined from the forward bearings from this corner, is 101° 02’ and the angle between ‘‘ Weems”’ and ‘‘Field’’ is 68° 52’. Having these two angles, the engineer proceeds to the byoy 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 circumstances, any three landmarks of suitable relative positions 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 on the three-arm protractor and the actual position of the buoy plotted on the chart by shifting the protractor about until the edges 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 positions 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 adjacent 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 position of the corner of the boundary in question. If the engineer possesses two sextants aud a protractor this problem is far easier of solution, as the two angles can be placed 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 locations of points are 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. Survey of Oyster Bars, Anne Arundel County, Md. 25 (3) Magnetic bearings from 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 takes 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 alto- gether, 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 landmark whose position is indicated on the charts can be used by getting their bearings directly from the chart by parallel rulers or a pro- tractor and then applying them in the same manner as the ones published in the tables. (4) Magnetic bearings from shore.—This method will be of special value to engi- neers having an ordinary surveyor’s compass. The compass can be set over the point marking 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 corre- sponding ‘‘back’’ bearing (corrected for local magnetic declination), given in the fourth column of the tables opposite the ‘‘corner’’ in question and on line with the name of the ‘‘station’’ being occupied. 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. 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 ques- ‘Description of tion. The telescope is then pointed to the landmark indicated in the ‘ as having a direction of 0° 00’ oo” from the triangulation station being landmarks”? 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 the ‘‘back’’ bearing and the bearing given in parentheses alongside the zero landmark in the ‘‘ Description of landmarks’’ is then laid 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. and the annual increase is 3/.

EXPLANATION OF DESCRIPTION OF LANDMARKS. The oyster-culture laws of Maryland authorizing the survey of natural oyster bars provide for ‘‘an accurate report of said survey, setting forth such a description of land- marks 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 authorizing 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 effort has been expended in erecting permanent monuments at the triangulation stations and in the proper description of their location. 66 Survey of Oyster Bars, Anne Arundel County, Mad. An effort has been made to arrange the description of stations in a uniform and logical manner. ‘The descriptions start with the assumption that the individual seeking the station has only an indefinite idea of its location. ‘They then gradually proceed from general descriptions of the surroundings of a landmark to the specific details of the character of the center and reference markings. An examination of the descrip- tions themselves will best indicate the method followed. The heading of each description is the name by which the landmark is known and designated in all work and records executed by the commission. Where the same name is used for two or more stations, as is the case in several instances in Anne Arundel County, the general locality of the station being described is given in paren- theses alongside its name. In the first paragraph, under the heading of ‘‘ Locality,”’ is given a description of the general locality of the landmark and the serial number of the published chart of the oyster bars of Anne Arundel County which best shows its location. ‘The second paragraph, under this same heading, furnishes the description of the immediate locality of the landmark and refers to the bearing and distance of the cement monument mark- ing the reference station, as it is the first object that is likely to catch the eye when the immediate vicinity of the desired station is reached. Under the heading of ‘‘ Marks’’ a description is given of the markings of the ‘‘observed station’’ and the ‘‘reference station.’’ It will be noted that although the “observed station’’ is the one ‘‘occupied’’ and ‘‘observed on’’ for horizontal angles, 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 inter- visibility of triangulation stations usually made it compulsory to locate these stations on edges of banks and ends of points of land, which in Chesapeake Bay and tributaries generally means that they will be washed away in a short period of years. The past experience of the Coast and Geodetic Survey in this region showed the necessity of reference marks, if the reestablishment of a new framework of triangulation was to be avoided in the near future. The marks designated in the descriptions as ‘‘the center point of triangle on stand- ard cement monument”’ are all exactly alike. They are made out 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. S.”’ underneath the base of the triangle. All of these monuments have been planted in the same manner, with their tops projecting 3 or 4 inches above the surface of the ground. As the above facts in reference to the ‘‘standard cement monuments’’ are a constant element in all the descriptions, their needless repetition is avoided by this one statement. It is the expectation that the ‘“‘reference stations,’’ the character of which is explained above, will be used in the near future in the place of the original stations. This has been made possible by the careful measurements of direction and distance of these stations from the ‘‘ observed station’’ which are recorded under the heading of ““References.2”2 ) ce ce “To obtain the geographic positions of any of the ‘‘observed stations’’ or of the ‘‘reference stations,’’ application should be made to the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey at Washington. Survey of Oyster Bars, Anne Arundel County, Md. 67 Under the heading of ‘‘ References’’ are given the directions and distances of 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 or location of boundaries of oyster bars, these references will be sufficient in many cases, to relocate the ‘‘observed station’’ or ‘‘reference station’’ when both of them have been destroyed but the reference objects remain. The first reference object given in the descriptions is always a triangulation station visible from the station being described. 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 the name. ‘This furnishes means for the calculation of the bearings of any of the reference objects for the purposes of locating a station by compass bearings, or the relocation of corner buoys of oyster-bar boundaries by the method of horizontal angles described under the heading of ‘‘ Boundaries of natural 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,’’ however, are accurate to the degree indicated by their decimals and in every case have been measured with a steel tape. ) NORTH POINT (OLD TOWER).

INTRODUCTION. PUBLICATIONS. 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 consists 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 description 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. 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, and Baltimore 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 soonas practicableafterthe completion of itssurvey. Forthesereasons and thefact 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 publication is of necessity identical with similar previous pu’ “cations for other counties. ® These reports can be obtained by application to th. S yell Fish Commission, Marine Bank Building, Baltimore,Md. They are issued annually in October, and the first and secon 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 sum- mary of the “Haman oyster-culture law.”’ 9 10 Survey of Oyster Bars, Baltvmore County, Md. and economic oyster investigations, methods and results of the hydrographic survey of 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 funce- 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. 1 See Appendix D of this publication for “‘Statistics of results of eombined 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 Fisheries. 8 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, Baltimore County, Md. IJ 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 aceu- 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. REPORT OF THE WORK OF THE COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY IN BALTIMORE COUNTY. 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 Washington, have proved very beneficial to the work and are greatly appreciated: DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND LABOR, OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY, Washington, June 2, 1900. Sir: In reply to your letter of May 28, requesting me to designate officers of the Coast and Geodetic Survey and of the Bureau of Fisheries to cooperate with the State of Maryland in making survey of and locating the natural oyster beds, I have the honor to inform you that Mr. C. C. Yates will be designated to cooperate on the part of the Coast and Geodetic Survey as soon as Congress makes the provisions of the act effective by providing an appropriation for the purpose. Respectfully, LAWRENCE O. Murray, Assistant Secretary. His Excellency Hon. Epwin WARFIELD, Governor of Maryland, Annapolis, Md. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND LABOR, Coast AND GEODETIC SURVEY, Washington, July 3, 1900. Sir: Upon the receipt of these instructions you will surrender the command, accounts, etc., of the steamer Endeavor to the Hydrographic Inspector * * *. As soon as this transfer is completed you will enter upon the duties of Coast Survey representative on the Shell Fish Commission of Maryland. You will consult the Commissioners, prepare a program of work, and submit estimates in the usual form. You are authorized to come to Washington for consultation from time to time as may be necessary. * * * * * * * * * Very respectfully, O. H. Tirrmann, Superintendent. Capt. C. C. YarTEs, U.S.C. & G.

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 Fisheries 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 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 Baltimore County * dates from April 14, 1909, when the Maryland Shell Fish Commission house boat Oyster was moved from her winter quarters in 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, when practically all the triangulation of the Chesapeake Bay shores of both Baltimore and Kent Counties was completed. On May 26, 1909, the Oyster was moved from Rock Hall Landing to near Cliffs Landing in the upper part of Chester River, and no further work was done in Balti- more County from that date to July 22, 1909, when the anchorage of the Oyster was changed back to Rock Hall to complete some unfinished details of the oyster survey work in that vicinity. On August 5, 1909, the house boat was again moved, this time to Worton Creek, 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 Baltimore and Kent Counties was completed, although some weeks later a party of the Maryland Shell Fish Commission returned to finish certain oyster investigations and hydrographic observations in these waters. The office work connected with the oyster survey of Baltimore County, including compilations and drafting necessary for the preparation for publication of the oyster charts and the technical records, was continued intermittingly with the office work of other counties from the beginning of the field work in Baltimore County to the time of filing of the certified oyster charts and technical reports in the archives of the Com- mission and with the clerk of the circuit court of Baltimore County on August 10, rgrt. 1 By courtesy of Dr. H.

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 ovsters 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. 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 Baltimore County, and do not include the many thousands of soundings and examina- tions 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 Maryland. 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 chart of the natural oyster bars of Baltimore County, published by the Coast and Geodetic Survey from results of surveys of the Government in cooperation with the Maryland Shell Fish Commission, covers that portion of the upper Chesapeake Bay and tributaries in Baltimore County in which the waters are sufficiently salt for the growth of oysters. ‘This chart is published on a scale of 1 part in 20,000 (approximately 35 inches to a statute mile). It is constructed on a polyconic projection and is based on the United States standard datum of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. This chart shows all oyster bars and other boundaries established by the commission, and is certified for the purpose of filing in the office of the clerk of the circuit court of Baltimore 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 ‘‘Maryland Oyster 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 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 the Coast and Geodetic Survey oyster survey publication 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 1 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 Baltimore 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. z5 16 Survey of Oyster Bars, Baltimore County, Md. indicated. ‘To find the name of a bar or landmark which is only known by location, consult the progress map at the end of the 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 shellfish 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 ro-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 each 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 shellfish bottoms. The symbols used on the charts for the different kinds of boundaries, triangulation stations, contours of depth of water, ete., 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 Baltimore County, like those for Anne Arundel, Somerset, Wicomico, Worcester, Calvert, Charles, and St. Marys counties, have been prepared under the direction of the hydrographic engineer of the commission. These charts are constructed on polyconic projections and are based on the United States standard datum of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. They 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. Anne Arundel County required 13 leasing charts; Somerset County, 12 charts; Wicomico County, 2 charts; Worcester County, 3 charts; Calvert County, 5 charts; Charles County, 2 charts; St. Marys County, 8 charts; and Baltimore County, 1 chart, to cover their oyster bottoms. 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- EE ————— ee Survey of Oyster Bars, Baltimore County, Md. 17 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 Baltimore County waters are four in number and on the seale 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 Baltimore 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 Maryland 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. 8120—11——2 BOUNDARIES OF THE COUNTY WATERS.1 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 Baltimore 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: Following the boundary line in the middle of Gunpowder River between Baltimore and Harford counties to a point at the intersection of this boundary with a straight line between the northeastern end of Millers Island and the southwestern end of Sprys Island defined by latitude 39° 16’ 58.8’ and longitude 76° 20’ 10.0; thence in a straight line across a part of the waters of the mouth of Gunpowder River to a point on the northeastern end of Millers Island defined by latitude 39° 15/ 51.6’ and longitude 76° 21’ 09.0’; thence along the mean low-water line of the Chesapeake Bay shore of Millers Island or a line across the mouth of all inlets less than too yards in width, as the case may be, to a point on the southwestern end of Millers Island defined by latitude 39° 15/ 19.5’’ and longitude 76° 22’ 51.0’; thence in a straight line across the waters and small marsh islands between Millers Island and Hart Island toa point on the northeastern end of Hart Island defined by latitude 39° 15/ 08.5’ and longitude 76° 22’ 18.0; thence along the mean low-water line of Chesapeake Bay shore of Hart Island or a line across the mouth of all inlets less than 100 yards in width, as the case may be, to a point on the southwestern end of Hart Island defined by latitude 39° 13’ 47.5/’ and longitude 76° 23’ 46.0; thence in a straight line across the waters between Hart Island and the mainland to a point on the mainland of Baltimore County defined by latitude 39° 13’ 45.5’ and longitude 76° 23’ 56.8; thence along the mean low-water line of the Chesapeake Bay shore of Baltimore County or a line across the mouth of all inlets less than 100 yards in width, as the case may be, to a point on the northeastern side of the entrance to Shallow Creek defined by latitude 39° 12’ 15.3’ and longitude 76° 25/ 57.4”; thence in astraight line across the mouth of Shallow Creek to a point on the southwestern side of the entrance to Shallow Creek defined by latitude 39° 12’ 11.1” and longitude 76° 26’ 12.4’; thence along the mean low-water line of the Chesapeake Bay shore of Baltimore County or a line across the mouth of all inlets less than 100 yards in width, as the case may be, to a point located on North Point at the extreme southern end of Baltimore County defined by latitude 39° 11’ 43.8’ and longitude 76° 26’ 34.2; thence in a straight line to a point located in Chesapeake Bay about 150 yards offshore on the foundation of an old stone lighthouse tower defined by latitude 39° 11/ 39.2’ and longitude 76° 26’ 31.4”; thence in a straight line across a part of the waters of the mouth of Patapsco River to a point defined by the intersection of the center line of Brewerton Channel and a straight line between “North Point (Old Tower Foundation)’’ and a point defined by latitude 39° 00’ 59.3 and longitude 76° 28’ 39.7’, situated on Rock Point; thence along the center line of Brewerton Channel to a point defined by the intersection of this line with the center line of Fort McHenry Channel; thence along the center line of Fort McHenry Channel to a point defined by the intersection of this line with the southern boundary line of Baltimore County.* 1 For a complete historical and legal description of the boundaries of the counties of Maryland, the valuable publication en- titled “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. 3 Latitudes and longitudes based on the United States standard datum of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. 18 i, BEE, ie ai Survey of Oyster Bars, Baltimore County, Md. 19 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,” and ‘‘in the office of the clerks of es 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 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 situated in the mouth of the Gunpowder River at the intersection of the boundary between Baltimore and Harford counties and a straight line between the northeastern end of Millers Island and the southwestern end of Sprys Island and defined by latitude 39° 16’ 58.8” and longi- tude 76° 20’ 10.0”; thence in a straight line across a part of Chesapeake Bay to a point situated about 1; miles south of the southern end of Pooles Island and defined by latitude 39° 15/ 30.0” and longitude 76° 16’ 20.4’; thence in a straight line along the waters of Chesapeake Bay to a point situated about 3x3; miles east of “Seven Foot Knoll Light” and 3;3; miles southeast of “ Craighill Channel Light (Front Range)”’ and defined by latitude 39° 09 10.6’ and longitude 76° 21’ 00.0’; thence in a straight line along the continuation of the center line of Brewerton Channel to Brewerton Channel, and thence along the center line of Brewerton Channel to a point defined by the intersection of this line and a straight line between “North Point (Old Tower Foundation)” and a point defined by latitude 39° 09’ 59.3” and ———_ 76° 28/ 30. ”% situated on Rock Point." 1 Latitudes ad longitudes based on the United States amare datum of the United States Coast Pada | Geodetic Say: 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 suryey, 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 station. 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 1t 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 selec- 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. 20 Survey of Oyster Bars, Baltimore County, Md. 21 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 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 locations 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 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 some 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’’ ce observed ’ 22 Survey of Oyster Bars, Baltimore County, Md. 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.” ‘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. S.” 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. 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,”’ 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. “cc 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 Baltimore County was 6° 15’ west of north in rorz and increasing at the rate of 5’ yearly. —— os es ee Survey of Oyster Bars, Baltimore County, Md. 23 DESCRIPTIONS OF TRIANGULATION STATIONS.

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 28 ae ey aaa 9 a EE oa. Survey of Oyster Bars, Baltimore County, Md. 29 complicated 14-sided figures, and of all sizes from 4 acres to 7,548 acres. The sides have varied in length from 93 to 7,529 yards, and in some cases the corners of the boundaries 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 established 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. ; Tvtle—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." Furst 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 “Longitude,” 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 1 These charts can be obtained by application to the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey at Washington, D. C. 30 Survey of Oyster Bars, Baltimore County, Md, Survey, and the points thus defined can be relocated from distant triangulation stations 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 fifth 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.—Vhis 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 of 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 recommended only for cases in dispute that can not be settled satisfactorily by some other method. An explanation of fis class of work would & too long for a report of this sort, and those 1 The mean magnetic variation for Baltimore County was 6° 15’ west of north in rorz and increasing at the rate of 5’ yearly. ? Geographic positions of these triangulation stations can be obtained by application to the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, Washington, D. C. Survey of Oyster Bars, Baltimore County, Md. 31 not familiar with this method are referred to the publications on the subject by the Coast and Geodetic Survey. (2) Hydrographic.—This 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 ‘‘Tea Table’ 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 “‘Pooles Island 2” and ‘‘Craighill Channel Light (rear range)’’ as determined from right to left from the forward bearings from this corner is 122° 06’ and the angle between “ Craighill Channel Light (rear range) ”’ and “Swan Point 3” is 86° 06’. 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 land- marks 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 adjacent 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 32 Survey of Oyster Bars, Baltimore County, Md. 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 position 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 from ofjshore——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 bear- ings 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 from shore —This method will be of special value to engineers having an ordinary surveyor’s compass. The compass can be set over the point marking 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 inter- section 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.—Vhis 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 Baltimore County is 6° x15’ west of north in r9rz and increasing at the rate of s’ yearly. ee Survey of Oyster Bars, Baltimore County, Md. 83 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. BOUNDARIES OF NATURAL OYSTER BARS. TEA TABLE.

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. Section 1. Be il 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. 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 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. 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. 1 Under the rulings of the Comptroller of the Treasury no damages can be collected except through the United States Court of Claims unless an agreement has been made in advance. Survey of Oyster Bars, Baltimore County, Md. 39 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: “t, 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, provision was made for a survey of the natural bars for the purpose of accutately 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.” 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 arule, hold that all bottoms where oys- ters 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 everyone 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, r88z, 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 40 Survey of Oyster Bars, Baltimore County, Md. 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 combined 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. Notre.—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 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.—tIn 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. =7,4 LT = a a eo? oo Survey of Oyster Bars, Baltimore County, Md. AI 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 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 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. 1 See Appendix D of this publication for “Statistics of results of combined operations of the Government and State.” 2 See pp. 104 to 123 of “‘ First Annual Report of Maryland Shell Fish Commission.” 3 See pp. 30 to 67 and 129 to 199 of ‘‘ First Annual Report of Maryland Shell Fish Commission.”’ 4 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.

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 Geodetie 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 «@ 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.” b See Appendix D of this publication for ‘‘Statistics of results of combined operations of the Gov- ernment 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, Calvert County, Md. 13 little other summary than is indicated by the published ‘“‘Charts of Natural Oyster Bars’’ and the scheme of hydrographic projections and triangulation stations shown on the county progress maps attached to each report. 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 boundaries of the various shellfish bottoms in relation to landmarks and the adjacent topography have been shown with all the accuracy permitted by the large- scale oyster charts published especially for that purpose. The technical and legal descriptions of the boundaries and the description of the location of landmarks have been prepared and published in such a manner as to mini- mize the probability of future disputes in reference to their location. 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 sixty-five years. In fact, when the survey of the oyster bars of Maryland is completed, it is believed that it will stand the test of time and practical use as a working foundation for whatever form the oyster legislation of the future may assume, and that the doing of the work systematically and accurately, once for all, will lead finally to the development of a great natural food resource in the form of real oyster culture which will bring ample reward for all expenditures of the “oyster survey.” REPORT OF THE WORK OF THE COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY IN CALVERT COUNTY. INSTRUCTIONS. The following two 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. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND LABOR, OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY, ; Washington, June 2, 1906. Sir: In reply to your letter of May 28, requesting me to designate officers of the Coast and Geo- detic Survey and of the Bureau of Fisheries to cooperate with the State of Maryland in making survey of and locating the natural oyster beds, I have the honor to inform you that Mr. C. C. Yates will be designated to cooperate on the part of the Coast and Geodetic Survey as soon as Congress makes the provisions of the act effective by providing an appropriation for the purpose. Respectfully, LAWRENCE O. Murray, Assistant Secretary. His Excellency Hon. Epwin WARFIELD, ~ Governor of Maryland, Annapolis, Md. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND LABOR, Coast AND GEODETIC SURVEY, IVashington, July 3, 1906. Sir: Upon the receipt of these instructions you will surrender the command, accounts, etc., of the steamer Endeavor to the Hydrographic Inspector. * * * As soon as this transfer is completed you will enter upon the duties of Coast Survey representative on the Shell Fish Commission of Maryland. You will consult the commissioners, prepare a programme of work, and submit estimates in the usual form. You are authorized to come to Washington for consultation from time to time as may be necessary. oe * * # . * * * Very respectfully, O. H. Trrrmann, Superintendent. Capt. C. C. YATEs, U.S.C. and G. S. Steamer Endeavor, Baltimore, Md. @ For these laws see Appendix A. 14 opr. , Survey of Oyster Bars, Calvert County, Md. 15 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 Jnspector and several other boats furnished by their own Service, and the occasional use of the Bureau of Fisheries 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 have been furnished by the Coast and Geodetic Survey and consist 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 Calvert County ° dates from May 2, 1908, when the house boat Oyster left Baltimore for an anchorage in the Patuxent River, inside of Solomons Island. She remained in this harbor for three months, it practically being the only suitable anchorage for the work for the entire Chesapeake Bay shore of Calvert County, as well as for the lower Patuxent River. During this period there was a great amount of windy weather and consequent rough seas, which prevented work in the open bay, and in general the triangulation foundation for the oyster survey made very slow progress. On August 4, 1908, the part of the work necessarily done from the mouth of the Patuxent River was completed, and the Oyster was moved about 7 miles up the river to St. Leonards Creek. ; On August 18, 1908, the headquarters for the field work was again changed by moving the house boat Oyster 8 miles still farther up the river to an anchorage in Battle Creek, where she remained until the completion of that part of the field work which naturally included all the Patuxent River work of Charles and St. Marys counties as well as that of Calvert County, although the results are published separately. On September 3, 1908, the house boat finally left the Patuxent River for a new anchorage in a tributary of the Potomac River, and the field work of Calvert County @ By courtesy of Dr. H. F. Moore, U.S. Bureau of I’isheries. b By courtesy of Capt. James A. Turner, commanding. ¢ The field work of Calvert, Charles, and St. Marys counties was so intermixed in the Patuxent River that the chronological statement of work for any one of these counties necessarily includes a considerable part of the work of the other two counties. 16 Survey of Oyster Bars, Calvert County, Md. was dropped from that date until July 27, 1909, when it was again taken up for a period of four days to add a few details of the triangulation required for the descriptions of stations. : On December 2, 1909, it was again found necessary to obtain further triangulation details for the publication of the technical report for Calvert County, and field work was carried on for that purpose from that date to December 8, 1909. The office work connected with the “‘oyster survey” of Calvert County, including computations and drafting necessary for the preparation of oyster charts and technical records for publications, was continued intermittingly with the office work of other counties surveyed during same season from the beginning of field work of Calvert County to the time of the filing of the certified oyster charts and reports in the archives of the Commission and with the clerk of the circuit court of Calvert County on December 14, 1909.

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: 3 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 wotk. a 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 Calvert 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 Maryland. See Appendix D of this publication for ‘Statistics of results of combined operations of the Government and the State.”’ ei el Survey of Oyster Bars, Calvert County, Md. 17 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. To Mr. Thomas H. Robinson, counsel to the Commission, for courteously furnishing valuable information relating to county boundaries. 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. 20908—10——2 CHARTS AND MAPS. CHARTS OF NATURAL OYSTER BARS. The charts % of the natural oyster bars of Calvert 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 five sheets covering a portion of the waters of Chesapeake Bay and all of Patuxent River, including all oyster-producing bottoms of Calvert County. They are published on a scale of 1 part in 20,000 (approxi- mately 31 inches 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 Calvert County and in the office of the Commission at Annapolis, 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 léasing 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 “ 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 a These charts can be obtained by application to the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, at Washington, D. C. +6 Much of the detail of the inshore topography was obtained from the excellent map of Calvert 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. 18 Survey of Oyster Bars, Calvert County, Md. 19 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. 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 shellfish industries. 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 Calvert 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 shellfish bottoms. The symbols used on the charts for the different kinds of boundaries, triangulation stations, contours of depth of water, etce., 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 Calvert County, like those for Anne Arundel, Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester counties, have been prepared under the direction of the hydrographic engineer of the Commission. These charts are constructed on polyconic projections and are based on the United States standard datum of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. They 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. Anne Arundel County required 13 leasing charts; Somerset County, 12 charts; Wicomico County, 2 charts; Worcester County, 3 charts; and Calvert County 5 charts, to cover their oyster bottoms. ; 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-a¢re law’’ are frequently of irregular 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 rectangles of 1 acre or 5 acres, as may be best suited to the area under consideration, 20 Survey of Oyster Bars, Calvert County, Md. and prospective leaseholders by the rules of the Commission are compelled to select whole rectangles as far as practicable. 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 Annapolis. PROJECTIONS. The polyconic projections 7 covering Calvert County waters are 8 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 office of the Shell Fish Commission, at Annapolis. 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 U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey in Calvert 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 r 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. @ For the scheme of these projections see the progress map at the end of this publication. b These maps and reports can be obtained by application to Maryland Shell Fish Commission, Annapolis, Md. Se 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 Calvert 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 charts and the smooth projections of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, is technically described and defined as follows: “co Commencing at a point defined by the intersection of the mean low-water line of the western shore of Chesapeake Bay in the vicinity of Hog Point and the boundary line between Anne Arundel and Calvert counties; thence along the mean low-water line of the Chesapeake Bay shore of Calvert County across the mouth of all inlets less than 100 yards in width, around Plum Point and Cove Point, to a point defined by latitude 38° 19’ 09’’.8 and longitude 76° 25’ 21’’.0 situated on Drum Point on the northern side of the entrance to Patuxent River; thence along a straight line ending at a point defined by latitude 38° 18’ 35/’.9 and longitude 76° 23’ 59/’.8 situated on Hog Point on the southern side of the entrance to Patuxent River, to a point defined by the intersection of this straight line and the Patuxent River channel boundary line between Calvert and St. Marys counties as laid down on ‘‘Chart No. 20, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland;”’ thence up the channel of Patuxent River following the channel boundary line between Calvert and St. Marys counties and the channel boundary line between Calvert and Charles counties and the channel boundary line between Calvert and Prince Georges counties as laid down on “Charts Nos. 19 and 20, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland;’’ thence continuing up the channel of Patuxent River following the channel boundary line between Calvert and Prince Georges counties to its end on the boundary line between Anne Arundel and Calvert counties. ¢ 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 U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, “which said copies shall be filed in the office of the said Commissioners in the city of Annapolis,” and ‘‘in the office of the clerks of the circuit courts for the respective counties wherein the grounds so designated may lie.” a¥or 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. bSee “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 U.

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 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 mean low-water line of the western shore of Chesapeake Bay in the vicinity of Hog Point and the boundary line between Anne Arundel and Calvert counties; thence in a straight line along the Chesapeake Bay boundary between Anne Arundel and Calvert counties as laid down on ‘‘Charts Nos, 4 and 16, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland,” to a point defined by latitude 38° 42’ 33’’.4 and longitude 76° 27’ 40’’.0 situated about 35s miles east of Hog Point; thence in a straight line along the Chesapeake Bay boundary between Calvert and Talbot ~ counties and Calvert and Dorchester counties as laid down on ‘‘Charts Nos. 16, 17, and 18, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland,” to a point defined by latitude 38° 30’ 00’’.o and longitude 76° 25’ 30’7.0 situated about 43 miles east of Governors Run; thence in a straight line along the Chesapeake Bay boundary between Calvert and Dorchester counties as laid down on “Charts Nos. 17, 18, and 20, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland,”’ to a point defined by latitude 38° 23’ 10’’.3 and longitude 76° 20’ 00’’.0 situated about 25% miles east of Cove Point Light; thence in a straight line along the Chesapeake Bay boundary between Calvert and Dorchester counties as laid down on ‘‘Charts Nos. 18 and 20, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland,” to a point defined by latitude 38° 19’ 37’’.7 and longitude 76° 19’ 19’’.0 situated about 514 miles southeast of Cove Point Light and about 514 miles east by north of Drum Point Light; thence along the Chesapeake Bay boundary between Calvert and St. Marys counties as laid down on “Chart No. 20, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland,” to a point defined by the intersection of this boundary and a straight line between a point situated on Hog Point on the southern side of the entrance to Patuxent River defined by latitude 38° 18’ 35’’.9 and longitude 76° 23’ 59.8 and a point situated on Drum Point on the northern side of the entrance to Patuxent River defined by latitude 38° 19/ 09/’.8 and longitude 76° 25’ 21’’.0; thence in a straight line to a point at the end defined by latitude 38° 19’ 09’’.8 and longitude 76° 25’ 21’’.0 situated on Drum Point on the northern side of the entrance to Patuxent River. @ See progress map at the end of this publication. EE Le ee Te a PED I LANDMARKS (U. $8. COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY TRIANGULATICN 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 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 station. 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 vn the separate descriptions as being needless ré petitions: 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 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 reference to well-known and prominent natural or artificial features, such as the 23 24 Survey of Oyster Bars, Calvert 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 31 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 “ce A eT EE a te a iia aN Survey of Oyster Bars, Calvert County, Md. 25 objectionable to the landowner, have led to establishment of ‘‘reference stations.” 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. S.” 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,’ 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. Rejferences.—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”’ “ec ‘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 light-house, church spire, or other permanent and prominent point. Its direction is taken as being 0° oo’ 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 parenthesis 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 @ Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) and the 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. b The mean magnetic variation for Calvert County was 5° 50’ west of north in 1909 and increasing at the rate of 3’ yearly. 26 Survey of Oyster Bars, Calvert County, Md. 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,” 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. HOLLAND.

(See Chart No. 16.) Immediate locality.—Observed station is about 5 feet above high water mark on a narrow strip of solid land 25 yards by 10 yards between the edge of a large marsh and the bay shore, about 60 yards north of the point where the shore line changes direction from north and south to northeast | and southwest. It is about 4 yards west of the bay shore, 4 yards east of top edge of hummock near - marsh, 7 yards east of edge of marsh, 9 yards north northwest of point of a hummock, and 18 yards south by west of point of another hummock. Cement monument marking reference station of 1908 is 2.13 meters S 80° 38’ W of observed station. Marks.—Observed station is nail in center of drain tile set in cement, with top flush with ground, the cement being roughly scribed ‘‘U. S. C. & G.

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 Commissioners, 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 delineation 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 * % 3k 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 cor- ners 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. Therefore 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. 59 60 Survey of Oyster Bars, Calvert County, Md. 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 complicated 14-sided figures, and of all sizes from 4 acres to 7,548 acres. ‘The sides 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 conse- quent 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 established 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 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 parenthesis, 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 num- ber 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 clockwise direction around the bar; but 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 ‘‘Longitude,”’ 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- @ These charts can be obtained by application to the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey at Washington, D. C. Survey of Oyster Bars, Calvert County, Md. 61 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 of the Survey, even though all the landmarks and buoys originally used for their location have been destroyed by natural or other causes. Fourth and fifth 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. triangula- tion station,’’® gives the names of the landmarks from which were computed the cor- responding “‘ Latitude,” ‘‘Longitude,”’ “True bearing,’ and ‘‘ Distance” of the ‘‘Corner of the bar’’ designated in the first column. A full description of the location and mark- ings 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 particu- lar 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 pos- sessed by the engineer and his assistants and partly on his training and experience. a@ The mean magnetic variation for Calvert County was 5° 50’ west of north in 1909 and increasing at the rate of 3’ yearly. b Geographic positions of these triangulation stations can be obtained by application to the Super- intendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, Washington, D. C. 62 Survey of Oyster Bars, Calvert County, Md. (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 explanation of this class of work would be too long for a report of this sort, and those not familiar with this method are referred to the publications on the subject by the Coast and Geodetic Survey. (2) Hydrographic.—This 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 bound- aries of the oyster bars. For example, take ‘‘Hog Point’’ bar, which is the first one described in this publication, and assume that ‘‘Corner No. 1”’ is to be examined as to its position. The angle between the two landmarks ‘‘Hog Point’”’ and “Beach,” as determined from right to left from the forward bearings from this corner is 67° 35’ and the angle between ‘‘Beach’’ and “Ill 2” is 17° 16’. 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 meas- ured 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 ' ? ti Survey of Oyster Bars, Calvert County, Md. 63 poiut thus obtained does not coincide with the true position of the corner of the bound- ary 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 adjacent 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 position 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 locations of points are 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 from ofjshore.—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 cbserver takes 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 by getting their bearings directly from the chart by parallel rulers or a protractor and then applying them in the same manner as the ones published in the tables. . (4) Magnetic bearings from 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 @ The mean magnetic variation for Calvert County is 5° 50’ west of north in 1909 and increasing at the rate of 3’ yearly. 64 Survey of Oyster Bars, Calvert County, Md. 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, and 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. 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° oo’ 00” 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 parenthesis 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. BOUNDARIES OF NATURAL OYSTER BARS. HOG POINT.

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.” Survey of Oyster Bars, Calvert County, Md. gI 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 exer- cise 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, 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, 188r, in the case of William ‘I. Windsor and George R. Todd v. Job T. Moore. : 3 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 oys- tersdo 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 makeit profitable to catch them, and yet where oysters may be successfully planted and propagated. In my opinion these can not be called nat- ural 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 earn- ing 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 combined into a practical scheme of investigating the condition of the ground under consideration. Stated briefly, a /ivelihood is represented by a swm of money obtained from the sale, at a fixed price, of a certain quantity of oysters gathered in a given dime from an allotted area of ground. g2 Survey of Oyster Bars, Calvert County, Md. 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 oys- ter 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. AppEenpIx 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 BEG 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 frame work 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 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-sheil bottoms, and are carried on by the sounding boat party in addition to the usual hydro- graphic 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 Se the presence and quantity of shells or absence of shells. a See Appendix D of this publication for ‘‘Statistics of results of combined operations of the Government and State."’ b See pages 104 to 123 of '‘ First Annual Report of Maryland S hell Fish Commission.” Survey of Oyster Bars, Calvert County, Md. 93 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 char- acteristic 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. @ See pages 30 to 67 and 129 to 199 of ‘‘First Annual Report of Maryland Shell Fish Commission.” + 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. 94 Survey of Oyster Bars, Calvert County, Md, AppENDIxX D.—STATISTICS OF RESULTS OF THE COMBINED OYSTER SURVEY OPERATIONS OF THE GOVERNMENT AND STATE.

INTRODUCTION. PUBLICATIONS. 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 @ 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. b See Appendix C for a summary of the particular surveying operations which constitute an “oyster survey’’ as now being carried on in Maryland. ¢ 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, and Charles counties. @ 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 comple- tion 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. € 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 and second reports are now available for distribution. 9 10 Survey of Oyster Bars, Charles County, Md. performed under the provisions of the laws of Maryland,“ including results of biological and economic oyster investigations, methods and results of the hydrographic survey of 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 @ 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.”’ > See Appendix D of this publication for ‘‘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 Comimission.”’ _ OEE OO OOOO aan Survey of Oyster Bars, Charles County, Md. It 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. 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. REPORT OF THE WORK OF THE COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY IN CHARLES COUNTY. INSTRUCTIONS. The following letters, together with the laws® of the United States relating to the subject, constitute the ‘‘instructions’’ received hy 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 legitinate development of the cooperation of the Government and the State in the survey of ovster 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. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND LABOR, OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY, Washington, June 2, 1900. Sir: In reply to your letter of May 28, requesting me to designate officers of the Coast and Geo- detic Survey and of the Bureau of Fisheries to cooperate with the State of Maryland in making survey of and locating the natural oyster beds, I have the honor to inform you that Mr. C.

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 Jnspector 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. : CRONOLOGICAL STATEMENT OF WORK. The field work of the Coast and Geodetic Survey in Charles County * dates from August 18, 1908, when the house boat Ovster was moved from St. Leonards Creek to an anchorage in Battle Creek which is located about 5 miles to the south of that small portion of Charles County bordering on the Patuxent River. ‘The headquarters of the surveying operations remained at this harbor until the completion of that part of the field work which naturally included all of the Patuxent River waters of Calvert and St. Marys counties as well as those of Charles County, although the results are published separately. On September 3, 1908, the house boat finally left the Patuxent River for a new anchorage in one of the tributaries of Potomac River in St. Marys County, and the field work in Charles County was dropped from that date for a period of nearly two months, On October 28, 1908, the house boat Oyster was towed by the Governor McLane to an anchorage in the lower part of Wicomico River off Rock Point in Charles County. From this anchorage as a headquarters the surveying operations for the Wicomico waters of both Charles and St. Marys counties were carried on until practically completed on November 25, 1909, when the house boat was towed to Bretons Bay off Leonardtown in St. Marys County. ; On December 2, 1909, it was found necessary to obtain additional triangulation information for the publication of the technical report for Calvert County, which inci- @ By courtesy of Dr. H.

Survey of Oyster Bars, Charles County, Md. dentally involved new work required for the report for Charles County, and field work was carried on for that purpose from that date to December 8, 1909. Again from July 20 to August 11, 1910, while the house boat Oyster was anchored in the mouth of the Patuxent River for the purpose of carrying on the oyster survey operations in the bay shore waters of Dorchester County, a number of days when work could not be done in the open bay were emploved in checking up deficiencies in the description of stations required for the forthcoming publications of both Charles and St. Marys counties. The large amount of office work connected with the “oyster survey” of Charles County, including computations and drafting necessary for the preparation for publica- tion of the oyster charts and the technical records, was continued intermittingly with the office work of other counties from the beginning of the field work in Charles County to the time of filing of the certified oyster charts and technical reports in the archives of the Commission and with the clerk of the circuit court of Charles County on January 27, 1QIT.

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 I.abor, 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. a 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 Charles 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 Govern- ment and the State.”’ Survey of Oyster Bars, Charles County, Md. 15 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. To Mr. Thomas H. Robinson, counsel to the Commission, for courteously furnishing valuable information relating to county boundaries. 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 Charles County, published by the Coast and Geodetic Survey from results of surveys of the Government in cooperation with the Maryland Shell Fish Commission, are grouped on one sheet covering a portion of the waters of the upper Patuxent River and all of the waters of the Wicomico River, including all oyster-producing bottoms in Charles County. They are published on a scale of 1 part in 20,000 (approximately 31% inches 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 Charles County and in the office of the Commission at Annapolis, as required by the oyster laws of Maryland. In addition to the oyster bar and other boundaries, the charts show the location and namie 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 @ These charts can be obtained by application to the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, at Washington, D. C. b Much of the detail of the inshore topography was obtained from the excellent map of Charles 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. 16 hee Survey of Oyster Bars, Charles County, Md. 17 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. 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 ro-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 Charles 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, ete., 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 Charles County, like those for Anne Arundel, Somerset, Wicomico, Worcester, and Calvert counties, have been prepared under the direction of the hydrographic engineer of the Commission. These charts are constructed on polyconic projections and are based on the United States standard datum of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. They 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. Anne Arundel County required 13 leasing charts; Somerset County, 12 charts; Wicomico County, 2 charts; Worcester County, 3 charts; Calvert County, 5 charts; and Charles County, 2 charts, to cover their oyster bottoms. 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 77572—11 2 18 Survey of Oyster Bars, Charles County, Md. 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 Charles County waters are 3 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 Charles 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 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. @ For the scheme of these projections see the progress map at the end of this publication. b 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 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 Charles 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: Patuxent River waters of Charles County.—Following the boundary line between Charles County and Prince Georges County along the middle of Swanson Creek as laid down on “ Chart No. 26, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland,” to a point defined by the intersection of this boundary line with the boundary line of Calvert County in Patuxent River; thence along the boundary line between Calvert and Charles counties in Patuxent River as laid down on ‘Chart No. 26, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland,’ to a point defined by the intersection of this boundary line with the boundary line between Charles and St. Marys counties off the entrance to Indian Creek; thence along the boundary line between Charles and St. Marys counties:in the middle of Indian Creek as laid down on “Chart No. 26, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland.”’ Wicomico River waters of Charles County.—Following the boundary line between Charles County and St. Marys County along the middle of Wicomico River as laid down on “Chart No. 26, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland,’’ from the upper end of Wicomico River, as shown on said chart, to a point at the mouth of Wicomico River defined by the intersection of this boundary line with the straight line between the center point of Cobb Point Bar Light defined by latitude 38° 14’ 33.3’ and longitude 76° 40’ 36.9’ and a point on the northwest end of St. Catherine Island defined by latitude 38° 14’ 28.9 and longitude 76° 48’ 10.9’; thence along a straight line dividing the ‘‘ waters within territorial limits of county” and the ‘‘ waters of Potomac River under joint jurisdiction of Maryland and Virginia as to fisheries” to the center point of Cobb Point Bar Light defined by latitude 38° 14’ 33.37 and longitude 76° 40’ 36.9; thence along a line following Cobb Point Bar, as laid down on “Chart No. 26, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland,”’ to a point located on Cobb Point defined by latitude 38° 15’ 17.5’ and longi- tude 76° 50’ 33.4’; thence along the mean low water line of the Maryland shore of Potomac River or a line across the mouth of all inlets less than 100 yards in width, as the case may be, and then continuing along the Maryland shore of Potomac River, crossing the mouth of Potomac River entrances of Neals Sound, around Swan Point, and crossing the mouth of Cuckold Creek and all other creeks, bays, and inlets of Potomac River under the sole jurisdiction of Maryland, to the intersection of this line with the boundary line between Charles County and Prince Georges County.¢ 4 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. b 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 Geodetic Survey. 19 20 Survey of Oyster Bars, Charles 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 respec- tive 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 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 located at the mouth and near the middle of Wicomico River defined by the intersection of the boundary line between Charles County and St. Marys County as laid down on “ Chart No. 26, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland,’’ and the straight line between the center point of Cobb Point Bar Light defined by latitude 38° 14’ 33.3’ and longitude 76° 40’ 36.9’ and a point on the northwest end of St. Catherine Island defined by latitude 38° 14’ 28.9’ and longitude 76° 48’ 10.9’; thence along a straight line dividing the ‘‘ waters within territorial limits of county’ and the “‘ waters of Potomac River under joint jurisdiction of Maryland and Virginia as to fisheries”’ to the center point of Cobb Point Bar Light defined by latitude 38° 14’ 33.3’ and longitude 76° 40’ 36.9’’; thence along a line following Cobb Point Bar as laid down on “‘Chart No. 26, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland,”’ to a point located on Cobb Point defined by latitude 38° 15’ 17.5’ and longitude 76° 50’ 33.4’; thence along the Maryland shore of the Potomac River across the entrances to Neals Sound, Cuckdld Creek, and all other sounds, bays, creeks, or inlets under the sole jurisdiction of Maryland as to fisheries, to the intersection of this line with the boundary line between Charles County and Prince Georges County.¢ @ Latitudes and longitudes based on the United States standard datum of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. 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 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 station. 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.—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 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. 2I 22 Survey of Oyster Bars, Charles County, Md. 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 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 31% 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”’ ‘ Survey of Oyster Bars, Charles County, Md. 23 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.” 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.”’ 4 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.” 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,’ 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 light-house, church sp-re, or other permanent and prominent point. Its direction is taken as being 0° 00’ 007’, 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 n this publication under the heading of ‘‘ Boundaries of oyster bars.”’ @ Geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude, distance, and azimuth) relating to any of the ‘‘ob- served stations’’ or of the ‘‘reference stations’’ described in this publication can be obtained by applica- tion to the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, at Washington, D. C. +6 The mean magnetic variation for Charles County was 5° 20’ west of north in rgro and increasing at the rate of 4’ yearly. 24 Survey of Oyster Bars, Charles County, Md. 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,’’ 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. BARBER.

[Ektract frotaiSesond Report of Shell Fish Commision.) 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 encowrage 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, 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. 60 Survey of Oyster Bars, Charles County, Md. 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 combined into a practical scheme of investigating the condition of the ground under consideration. Stated briefly, a livelihood is represented by a swm 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. Notre.—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 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, ; : Survey of Oyster Bars, Charles County, Md. 61 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.5 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 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. “ @ See Appendix D of this publication for ‘‘ Statistics of results of combined operations of the Govern- ment and State.’’ b See pages 104 to 123 of ‘“‘ First Annual Report of Maryland Shell Fish Commission.’’ ¢ See pages 30 to 67 and 129 to 199 of ‘‘ First Annual Report of Maryland Shell Fish Commission.’’ @ 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.

INTRODUCTION. PUBLICATIONS. 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 investigations, methods and results of the hydrographic survey of 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 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, Queen Annes, Talbot, and Dorchester 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, third, and fourth 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 summary of the ‘‘Haman oyster culture law.” 58345—13 oyster survey’’ as now being 2 17 18 Survey of Oyster Bars, Dorchester 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. 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 Fisheries. 8 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, Dorchester County, Md. 19 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. : i m } ide . 7 mR aa ae a avy ‘ . ys i y : Pid ’ i ; , Le, ‘ a Mi ir Shik: risus Segal al ; Cpheuttond sit abedda, auth iileh saetndnensih sea silnc vavesneb ann hire entnidg ie dete, tol gale, Hey tial ee ovine ote sbendy Z Vediogi-tetcty oil Whe toot aieten Jeep: th y rithgh Yon 1 how stajut ene wt sertteiriavinl) att ot o@le tod yeted aude te A) « OVER oO” Reto atmemtitimmmas isin vataeb ie ii teitlsaer eke Men chek Bevinepsuer swede w Prat tae ede? eter’ Cenk Sdpeeany 4 seer beg et phat tharos ezoes dereaiely bu areritalcirceel EY OP al Linton (ua ' of Hyun vi czivects od brio nollasal Weegee ehdy tid aohtuinbtent ot eo ithe bliads ifolrta 2datehesl YoSiniaee haiduileter? yobs HORE eee boa ont Alvin a Hhruoripal EE stflsein fs sf T Gite cb ; sal “Ob by ebat ons ont, ny anos my a " é : ates. ty" Alia OT ie a ' 4 as ae 7 it ae, pane be dig peql antagaprid Inui sad sea drei. ik Yamaha ATE alt rer: Lt Yhaaevcrnit etait tha, it) Arvid sot BT: pics fh fol fw gerd has ils %ij ¢ogtay ve verry fed thane ai ace iy iahasyni 350 At Wenly Thal Ba TAS ie Hattie er ind tn 7 SAY SEN ng TH 1H RASS BD aviv Wee derih eaken tien i We heb bei Se) Miemhanl ladigite add Adrittiaeve ya niny: patie cary diel lestheligestindacteaie Praeitiin tee atu linp glosie Wy alsin by net wall eos seta neler ineibaiy ho meet ea | rere ae ath pineal vet yey sat Os 8, 2m pl fa i Sb ebr tales ty Rin’: > Pir iteent-geary st te arvin’ | 4 by i } ty ; : 1-2 4) eA il REPORT OF THE WORK OF THE COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY IN DORCHESTER COUNTY. 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 Washington, have proved very beneficial to the work and are greatly appreciated. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND LABOR, OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY, Washington, June 2, 1906. Sir: In reply to your letter of May 28, requesting me to designate officers of the Coast and Geo- detic Survey and of the Bureau of Fisheries to cooperate with the State of Maryland in making survey of and locating the natural oyster beds, I have the honor to inform you that Mr. C. C. Yates will be designated to cooperate on the part of the Coast and Geodetic Survey as soon as Congress makes the provisions of the act effective by providing an appropriation for the purpose. Respectfully, LAWRENCE O. Murray, Assistant Secretary. His Excellency Hon. Epwin WarFIELD, Governor of Maryland, Annapolis, Md. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND LABOR, Coast AND GEODETIC SURVEY, Washington, July 3, 1906. Sir: Upon the receipt of these instructions you will surrender the command, accounts, etc., of the steamer Endeavor to the Hydrographic Inspector. * * * As soon as this transfer is completed you will enter upon the duties of Coast Survey representative on the Shell Fish Commission of Maryland. You will consult the Commissioners, prepare a program of work, and submit estimates in the usual form. You are authorized to come to Washington for consultation from time to time as may be necessary. * * * * * * * * * Very respectfully, O. H. TittMann, Superintendent. Capt. C. C. YaTEs, U.S. C. and G. S. Steamer Endeavor, Baltimore, Md. 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 1 For these laws see Appendix A. ¥ I 22 Survey of Oyster Bars, Dorchester County, Md. 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 launch Inspector 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, etc., required for all field and office work. CHRONOLOGICAL STATEMENT OF WORK. The field work of the Coast and Geodetic Survey in Dorchester County dates from March 14, 1910, when a subparty was organized and sent out to complete certain unfin- ished details of triangulation in Talbot County and to take up the overlapping triangu- lation between Dorchester and Talbot Counties. This party first went to St. Michaels, then to Cambridge, and finally to Oxford, where the main party on the house boat was joined at the end of April. On April 30, 1910, the house boat Oyster was towed from Baltimore by the State steamer McLane to an anchorage in Tar Creek near Bellevue. While at this harbor the house boat was cleaned, painted, and generally overhauled for the season’s work, and at the same time triangulation was carried on in Choptank River and its tributaries. On May 30, 1910, the house boat shifted her anchorage to Tred Avon River off Oxford, from which point a small amount of field work was done in Dorchester County along with the work in Talbot County. On June 30, 1910, the Oyster was towed to an anchorage off Cambridge, where she remained until the completion of the overlapping field work in Choptank River of both Dorchester and Talbot Counties. On July 20, 1910, the house boat Oyster was towed from Cambridge to an anchorage off Solomons Island in the mouth of the Patuxent River. A greater part of the field work along the Chesapeake Bay shore of Dorchester County was carried on from this harbor. During weather too rough to work in the open Chesapeake Bay, considerable work was also done from this point in checking up descriptions of triangulation stations required for the preparation of the publications covering Calvert, St. Marys, and Charles Soe) a By courtesy of I Dr. H. F. Moore, United States Bureau of Fisheries. 2 By courtesy of Capt. James A. Turner, commanding, 3 The field work of Dorchester County was so intermixed with that of Talbot County that ‘the chronological statement of the work in one of these counties necessarily suet a considerable part of fue work of the other county. Survey of Oyster Bars, Dorchester County, Md. 23 On August 11, 1910, the Oyster was moved across the Chesapeake Bay to an anchor- age in Honga River off Hoopers Island Wharf. A greater part of the oyster-survey work along the lower Chesapeake Bay shore of Dorchester County, as well as that of Honga River and Fishing Bay, was carried on from this point as headquarters. On September 30, 1910, the field work in the southern half of Dorchester County being completed, the house boat Oyster was towed by the steamer McLane to the Little Choptank River and anchored off the town of Madison, where she remained for over two months while oyster-survey operations were being carried on in the Little Choptank River and its many tributaries. On December 4, 1910, the house boat Oyster was moved to the northern side of Little Choptank River to an anchorage in the mouth of Hudson Creek, where she remained in spite of bad weather and ice until the practical completion of the oyster-survey work in Dorchester County. On December 15, 1910, the field work of Dorchester County was completed, and as this was the last county to be surveyed, this date also marks the completion of all the field work of the Maryland Oyster Survey, with the exception of the two days, the 20th and 21st of June, 1912, when a small party, under the charge of Mr. Frank W. Seth, surveyman in the Coast and Geodetic Survey, was put in the field to complete necessary details of triangulation in Talbot and Dorchester Counties. The office work connected with the oyster survey of Dorchester County, including the computations of geographic information and the drafting necessary for the prepara- tion for publication of the oyster charts and the technical records of that county, was carried on intermittingly with the office work of other counties from the beginning of the field work in Dorchester County on March 14, 1910, to the time of filing of the certified oyster charts and technical records in the archives of the Maryland Shell Fish Commission and with the clerk of the circuit court of Dorchester County on August 17, 1912.

See Appendix D of this publication for “Statistics of results of combined operations of the Government and the State.”’ 24 Survey of Oyster Bars, Dorchester County, Md. 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 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. CHARTS AND MAPS. CHARTS OF NATURAL OYSTER BARS.! The charts of the natural oyster bars of Dorchester 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 eight sheets covering all the oyster-producing waters of that county. They are published on the large scale of I part in 20,000 (approximately 33/5 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 Dorchester 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 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. i ! 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 Dorchester 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, Z5 26 Survey of Oyster Bars, Dorchester County, Md. 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 Dorchester 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 Dorchester County, like those for Anne Arundel, Somerset, Wicomico, Worcester, Calvert, Charles, St. Marys, Baltimore, Kent, Queen Annes and Talbot 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 or 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 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. Survey of Oyster Bars, Dorchester County, Md. 27 PROJECTIONS. The polyconic projections ' covering Dorchester County waters are 21 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 Dorchester 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 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 territoriai limifs’’ of Dorches- ter 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: * Commencing at the head of the oyster-producing waters of Choptank River on the channel boundary line between Dorchester County and Talbot County; thence following the channel boundary line between Talbot County and Dorchester County down the upper Choptank River to a point situated about half way between the town of Choptank and Cabin Creek, thence continuing down the channel boundary line of the upper Choptank River as laid down on “Chart No. 35, Natural Oyster Bars, Mary- land’’ around Chancellors Point and pass the city of Cambridge to the entrance of upper Choptank River between Castle Haven Point and Island Creek; thence along the boundary line between Talbot County and Dorchester County in the lower Choptank River as laid down on “Charts Nos. 36 and 37, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland,’’ to a point in the Chesapeake Bay entrance of the lower Choptank River defined by the intersection of this boundary line with a straight line defined at its northwestern end by a point situated on Blackwalnut Point in latitude 38° 40’ 06.6’ and longitude 76° 20’ 24.7’ and defined at its southeastern end by a point situated on Cook Point in latitude 38° 37’ 55.7’’ and longitude 76° 17’ 28.7; thence in a straight line across the southeastern half of the Chesapeake Bay entrance of the lower Choptank River to a point situated on Cook Point defined by latitude 38° 37’ 55-7" and longitude 76° 17’ 28.7’; thence in a southeasterly direction along the mean low-water line or across the mouth of all inlets less than 100 yards in width, as the case may be, of the eastern shore of Chesapeake Bay to a point situated on the northern side of Tripps Bay defined by latitude 38° 36’ 10.4’ and longitude 76° 16’ 21.8’; thence in a straight line across the eastern end of Tripps Bay to a point situated on the southern side of the eastern end of Tripps Bay defined by latitude 38° 35’ 52.7” and longitude 76° 167 o5.1/’; thence in a southwesterly direction along the mean low-water line or across the mouth o/ all inlets less than roo yards in width, as the case may be, of the eastern shore of Chesapeake Bay to a point situated on the northeastern side of the entrance of Brannock Bay defined by latitude 38° 35’ 33.9’ and longitude 76° 16’ 23.8’; thence in a straight line across the entrance of Brannock Bay to a point situated on Mills Point on the southwestern side of the entrance of Brannock Bay defined by latitude 38° 357 07.2’ and longitude 76° 17’ 13.27; thence in a southwesterly direction along the mean low-water line or across the mouth of all inlets less than 100 yards in width, as the case may be, of the eastern shore of Chesapeake Bay to a point situated on Hills Point on the northern side of the entrance of Little Choptank River defined by latitude 38° 33’ 48.6’ and longitude 76° 18’ 41.8”; thence in a straight line across the entrance of Little Choptank River to a point situated on James Island on the southern side of Little Choptank River defined by latitude 38° 31’ 44.9’ and longitude 76° 20 o1.9’’; thence following the northern and western side of James Island along the mean low-water line or across the mouth of all inlets less than 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 pur- pose of carrying out the oyster laws of the State, and may or may not be correct for other purposes. 2See ‘‘Charts of Natural Oyster Bars,”’ published by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, and the progress map at the end of this publication. *Latitudes and Jongitudes based on the United States standard datum of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. 28 Survey of Oyster Bars, Dorchester County, Md. «29 too yards in width, as the case may be, of the eastern shore of Chesapeake Bay to a point situated on the southern end of James Island defined by latitude 38° 30’ 07.6” and longitude 76° 20’ 19.3’;

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 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 in the Chesapeake Bay entrance of the lower Choptank River defined by the intersection of the boundary line between Dorchester County and Talbot County as laid down on “Charts Nos. 36 and 37, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland,’’ with a straight line defined at its northwestern end by a point situated on Blackwalnut Point in latitude 38° 40’ 06.6’ and longitude 76° 20’ 24.7’ and defined at its southeastern end by a point situated on Cook Point in latitude 38° 37’ 55.7’ and longitude 76° 17’ 28.7’; thence along the boundary line between Dorchester County and Talbot County passing into Chesapeake Bay south of Sharps Island as laid down on ‘‘Charts Nos. 36 and 37, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland,’’ to a point in Chesapeake Bay about 5!2 miles southwest of Sharps Island Light and 534 miles northwest of James Island defined by latitude 38° 34’ 29.6” and longitude 76° 26’ 17.0”; thence in a straight line in a southerly direction with Chesapeake Bay to a point situated in Chesapeake Bay about 414 miles west of the southern end of James Island defined by latitude 38° 30’ 00.0’ and longitude 76° 25’ 30.0’; thence in a straight line in a southeasterly direction with Chesapeake Bay to a point situated in Chesapeake Bay about 25¢ miles east of Cove Point Light defined by latitude 38° 23’ 10.3/” and longitude 76° 20’ 00.0’; thence in a straight line in a southerly direction with Chesapeake Bay to a point situated in Chesapeake Bay about 31% miles northeast of Cedar Point Light defined by latitude 38° 10’ 37.7’ and longitude 76° 19’ 19.0; thence in a straight line in a southerly direction with Chesa- peake Bay to a point situated in Chesapeake Bay about 234 miles east of Cedar Point Light defined by latitude 38° 17’ 58.0’ and longitude 76° 18’ 59.7’; thence in a straight line in a southeasterly direction with Chesapeake Bay to a point situated in Chesapeake Bay about 55s miles west of Holland Island Bar Light in latitude 38° o4/ 34.8’ and longitude 76° 12’ o1.0’’; thence in a straight line in an easterly direc- tion across the eastern half of Chesapeake Bay to a point situated on Holland Island Bar Light defined by latitude 38° 04’ 07.3’ and longitude 76° 05’ 45.9”; thence in a straight line in a northeasterly direction toward the entrance of Holland Straits to a point situated about 114 miles north-northeast of Holland Island Bar Light on the boundary line between Dorchester County and Somerset County on the southern side of the Chesapeake Bay entrance of Holland Straits defined by latitude 38° 04’ 40.8’ and longitude 76° 04’ 14.8. 1]atitudes and longitudes based on the United States standard datum of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. » OS 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 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 station. 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 selec- 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 reference to well-known and prominent natural or artificial features, such as the 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. 3r De Survey of Oyster Bars, Dorchester County, Md. 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 31 inches to a statute mile) and show the locations 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 ce 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 some 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 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.” The location of the ‘‘reference station’ in relation to the “‘observed station”’ is fixed : ~\ Survey of Oyster Bars, Dorchester County, Md. 53 for plotting on charts or for computation of its geographic position by checked measure- ments of its distances and azimuth from the “observed station.” 4 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. S.” 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,” 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 tc 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,”’ , “ee “ce 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 Dorchester County was 6° oo’ west of north in r9rr and increasing at the rate of s' yearly, 58345—13—3 34 Survey of Oyster Bars, Dorchester 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. WEATHER BUREAU STAFF.

The laws providing for the survey of the oyster bars of Maryland also contain a section which requires ‘‘ an accurate survey of and delineation upon the maps and charts aforesaid of all bottoms of the tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay where grass grows and it is profitable to scrape for soft shell or shedder crabs, and shall have such bottoms propezly designated by permanent objects on the shore, as provided hereinbetoze for natural oyster beds, bars, and rocks, which said crabbing sections shall be exempt from leasing for oyster culture.”’ As far as is known, the crab bottoms of Maryland * were the first of their kind to be surveyed and therefore they presented a new problem, which was found to differ? in many ways from that of a survey of oyster bars. ; In a general way, it can be stated that the boundaries of the crab bottoms as estab- lished by the Maryland Shell Fish Commission and delineated on the ‘‘Maryland Oyster Charts” published by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, are confined to waters between the 1-fathom contour (6 feet depth of water) and the shore line. Therefore, in most cases the mean low water line of the shore has been adopted as an inner boundary for the crab bottoms, but the same system of straight lines and numbered corners used to delineate the oyster bars has been retained for defining the off-shore water boundaries. The boundaries of the crab bottoms of Maryland, as established by the Shell Fish Commission and shown 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 but little different from that used for the description of the boundaries of oyster bars. 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 crab bottoms in each county. Title.—At the top of each tabular form is given the legal name of the crab bottom to be described, and the one by which it is known and designated in the published records and on the oyster charts. The adopted name of the crab bottom is the one used locally, as nearly as could be ascertained by the hydrographic engineer of the Commission; 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 crab bottom was located. . Underneath the name, in parentheses, is given the general locality of ‘the crab bottom and the serial number of the ‘‘Maryland Oyster Chart,’ on which its legal boundaries are shown.* Furst column.—This column, under the heading of ‘Corner of bottom,’ gives the number corresponding to the corner of the boundary as shown on the charts and to the 1 Crab bottoms within the meaning of the laws of Maryland were found only in Somerset and Dorchester Counties. 2 See pages 69 to 70 of ‘‘ First Annual Report of Maryland Shell Fish Commission” for description of ‘Survey of crabbing grounds.’’ * These charts can be obtained by application to the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey at Washington, D. C, 164 Survey oj Oyster Bars, Dorchester County, Md. number on the buoy marking the actual corner of the bottom. The numbers of the corners have been assigned by naming the southernmost point No. 1, thence proceeding in a clockwise direction around the bottom. Where a corner of a crab bottom is identical] with the corner of the boundaries of one or more other crab bottoms or oyster bars, only the number of the corner of the crab bottom being described in the table is given in this column. Second and third columns.—These two columns, under the headings of ‘‘ Latitude”’ and ‘‘Longitude,” 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 discrepan- cies 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 of the survey, even though all the landmarks and buoys originally used for their location have been destroyed by natural or other causes. Fourth and fijth columns.—These two columms, 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 or arc between the forward and back bearings shown in some cases is actual and not accidental, and is due to the fact that the compu- tations took into account the spheroidal shape of the earth. Sixth column.—TYhis column, under the heading of ‘Distance,’’ gives the three computed distances in yards from the corner of the bottom 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 corresponding “Latitude,” “Longitude,” “True bearing,’’ and ‘‘ Distance’”’ of the ‘‘Corner of bottom”’ 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.”’ Notes.—The descriptive notes relating to the shore line boundaries which appear between the descriptions of corners located on land require no explanation other than the statement that the laws of Maryland reserve to riparian owners all waters of ‘‘any creek, cove, or inlet less than one hundred yards in width at its mouth at low tide.” ” 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 crab bottoms as technically described in this publication and delineated on the published charts of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, and the ‘‘leasing charts’’ of the Maryland Shell Fish Commission, but as they are practically the same as those ' The mean magnetic variation for Dorchester County was 6° oo’ west of north in 1911 and increasing at the rate of s’ yearly. * Geographic positions of these triangulation stations can be obtained by application to the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, Washington, D.C. Survey of Oyster Bars, Dorchester County, Md. 165 required for the relocation of oyster-bar boundaries, the description of the ‘‘Surveying Methods for Relocation of Boundaries” given in this publication under the heading of “Boundaries of Oyster Bars’’ will be sufficient to indicate several methods that can be used in the relocation of crab-bottom boundaries.

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. 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. 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 free- holders, residents of the same judicial district, to proceed with as much dispatch 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, wpon 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. 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 ! Under the rulings of the Comptroller of the Treasury no damages can be collected except through the United States Court of Claims unless an agreement has been made in advance. 7 Survey of Oyster Bars, Dorchester County, Md. 177 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. AppENpDIxX 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. x. 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 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.”’ 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 5834513 12 \ 178 Survey of Oyster Bars, Dorchester County, Md. 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. 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 combined into a practical scheme of investigating the condition of the ground under consideration. Stated briefly, a livelihood is represented by-a swm 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. Notre.—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 60. 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 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 Survey of Oyster Bars, Dorchester County, Md. 179 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 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. ' See Appendix D of this publication for ‘Statistics of results of combined operations of the Government and State.” * See pp. to4 to 123 of First Annual Report of Maryland Shell Fish Commission. 3 See pp. 30 to 67 and 129 to 199 of First Annual Report of Maryland Shell Fish Commission. ‘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.

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. 5. C. S.” 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,’’ whether used for marking the 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. Rejerences.—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,’ a3 observed ” « 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 Kent County was 6° 15’ west of north in rorz and increasing at the rate of 5’ yearly, 28 Survey of Oyster Bars, Kent 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. WORTON POINT 2.

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: ‘rt. 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.’”’ 1 Under the rulings of the Comptroller of the Treasury no damages can be collected except through the United States Court of Claims unless an agreement has been made in advance. a od oy % yee ‘s er° N Survey of Oyster Bars, Kent County, Md. 12 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.”’ 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. 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 combined into a practical scheme of investigating the condition of the ground under consideration. Stated briefly, a livelihood is represented by a swm 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.—tThe 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 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 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 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. 1 See pages roq4 to 123 of ‘‘ First Annual Report of Maryland Shell Fish Commission.” 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. 14126—12 9 = = = 5 1S) < Ne = “8 2 = y 130 O *saqoe oLL'S st ynoLJaUNOD Jo sleq 19}SA0 [eINjeU JO BAIe [BIOL ¢ *AJUNOD VMO UL} a10UT Jo sorjst}e]S Aq paJaAOd satzUENDb ssa’ z . *a1n}]No 1a}sA0 10} panado aie satjtmod asay} [1301 peys -qnd aq 00 [[TM Sz][Nsor jo sorst}e}s [EUY Inq ‘paystuy weaq sey sarjUNOD JajsayoIod pue ‘joqiey ‘sanwy UaanG UIAIOM\ “sp10daI pu szieyo 1a}sAo paysi[qnd ay} jo uoreiedaid aq} a PEeZTIFN Sead HOTA ‘AVAING StJapoad PUL 4sBOD at} JO FIOM snorAaid mors Sunset Aydeiso1pAy pure ‘Aydess0d0} ‘woryeynsuer} jo JUNouTe a51v] VY} apNpour 40 Op Sorjst}e4s asaq, 7 **payst[qnd sdeur ssaiz0rg, ee 3 paysiqnd syoday + *paysi[qnd sjieys Ja3sAQ- RRS Se rn ae cite sissies a yesaisle.sle'sis/e © eiaieiels Sleseleeid s ojelw\e ey aimcirigeiciucieirje ls ****paredaid syivyo dursee’T 6 “****pajjojd pue paiedaid suorjoaforg gs y “snjeiedde uleyo pue ssutpunos Aq pasaAood sayim arenbS: 6r0 ‘LE Oe a IE *s010}}0q [JaYs J9A0 ssuIpunNos jo JaqunN flame eee c enna recacetercneserctsccersseeseeeerWnetcerscaeenenarcns Paysi[qe}se suo1ze}s apry, orb Core dhs **** patdnoo0 stor} e3s DONesT}saAut JaysAQ, 69£ snjeiedde Uleyo Y}AA 010}30q [Jays JO DOT}EMIMTEXA JO sat, oze sere ee ess“ TOTPEENS We} AQ petaAod Ja}eM JO saytur arenbsS Orr “"*" Dorjeynsaen} Aq paraAoo aut] a10Ys Jo sorry fer “pays qeiso syIvUIpuLy] Worjeynsuersy, zoe pajyaed pure pazrooy sAonq Aiepunog Spaq Ure jo say “****pajvatijap pue padaains spaq urea, ate p erntaitstetncotsce’aiale suaray **$u10}}0q qvso Jo sazoy erisiaivaie’s eps ou “"**""pajealifap pue paAsAins sur0}}0q qeid OII ‘ItI g gfo'z | g9S‘Lze | go9 ‘fe 6 Sear bee Bee ee sieq Ia}sA0 [vinjen jo soy air ¥9 Sr Le 16 Sisla(a.6in/alnco's(afatelule/a‘e als\s/wistain ict \aleio’s)ale/e/atein siais.e'e, ate payeammap pue padaains sieq 49)8A0 [eanjEN, | : | Ayunog.

INTRODUCTION. PUBLICATIONS. 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 investigations, methods and results of the hydrographic survey of 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. 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. 5 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.” on 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. 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 Fisheries. , 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, Queen Annes County, Md. 147 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. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND LABOR, OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY, Washington, June 2, 1906. Srr: In reply to your letter of May 28, requesting me to designate officers of the Coast and Geo- detic Survey and of the Bureau of Fisheries to cooperate with the State of Maryland in making survey of and locating the natural oyster beds, I have the honor to inform you that Mr. C. C. Yates will be designated to cooperate on the part of the Coast and Geodetic Survey as soon as Congress makes the provisions of the act effective by providing an appropriation for the purpose. Respectfully, LAWRENCE O. Murray, Assistant Secretary. His Excellency Hon. Epwin WARFIELD, Governor of Maryland, Annapolis, Md. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND LABOR, Coast AND GEODETIC SURVEY, Washington, July 3, 1906. Str: Upon the receipt of these instructions you will surrender the command, accounts, etc., of the steamer Endeavor to the Hydrographic Inspector. * * * As soon as this transfer is completed you will enter upon the duties of Coast Survey representative on the Shell Fish Commission of Maryland. You will consult the commissioners, prepare a program of work, and submit estimates in the usual form. You are authorized to come to Washington for consultation from time to time as may be necessary. * * * * * * * Very respectfully, O. H. Tirrmann, Superintendent. Capt. C. C. YATEs, U.S.C. and G. S.

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 8 1 For these laws see Appendix A. I 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 fatty 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 Jnspector 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 noe 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 kes part of the work was confined to Queen Annes and 2 aE hoe counties. 1 By courtesy of Dr. H. F. Moore, United. States Bureau sat 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 roo 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, rgr1. : . { oh a Survey of Oyster Bars, Queen Annes County, Md. 21 STATISTICS. ! eAAIMALCS AMCutLian I AbMOM SIPMAlS CLECEE A rav\eic: cace/sitie e[oicies vhe oie lbiave bieie veg kts 6 essslae o nese aie ele 186 Monuments planted to mark triangulation Stations. ..... 06. 0s ewes cates ene de cee neecinee eee 183 Triangulation stations occupied for observations of horizontal angles. .... 2.0.0.0... 0. cc eee eee 178 RIL aIL AAO TRS EAIOU SUE COV ELEC crop taisieie sate visieri aise 6 ere\cie io 6 Leleieca. 216) 219 slo eyn/elsie ave bid eve eYeie 0 siale viele ete 15 EMEA MA OM StAtOUS CStADMISHECS crs ta avai eiceine se caylee sete cls cane eves cadnte ss tue qoseed 184 Total old and new triangulation stations marked and described... 2... 2.2.0... 006.00 e cece eee 199 Linear miles of shore line covered by triangulation (approximate). ........0..0 00 0c cece eee ee 240 Raquare miles covered by. triangulation.

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 [arle, 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 I 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 1 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 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 contigtious 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 given 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 or 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 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. 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 t 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 4oo,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 aud reports can be obtained by application to Maryland Shell Fish Commiission, Marine Bank Building, Baltimore, Md. st ba Do EY Page GS i ee et Mg ir ee! 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 or at its western end by a point on Tove 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 chusies Ri er 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 100 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° 40’ 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 Wve River, and up the channel boundary line of that branch of Wye River to the south of Wye Island to the point off the eee 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 W ye River between Queen Annes County and Talbot County to the head of the oyster- producing: waters.* !

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 Geodetic 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 been 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 the eastern side of €hester River in latitude 39° 02’ 45.3’ 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 x mile to the northeast of Love Point Light, as laid down on “Chart No. 29, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland,’’ to a point in Chesapeake Bay about 25 miles east of Baltimore Light and 354 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 miles east 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°; 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 2'4 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 Eastern 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 Eastern Bay in latitude 38° 49’ 34.2’ and longitude 76° 18’ 04.5/”.! 1 Latitudes and longitudes based on the United States standard datum of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. LANDMARKS (U. $. 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 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 station. ; 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 selec- 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 reference to 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 31% inches to a stattite 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 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.” “ec i Le a Survey of Oyster Bars, Queen Annes County, Md. 29 “ec 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.”’ 4 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. S.” 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,” 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 Mes ene obtained by pace or careful SEL ue “meters,” ce 1 Géomnhiee ere (latitude, ieaeude. distance, and azimuth) yivelatiny 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. * The mean magnetic variation for Queen Annes County was 6° 15’ west of north in rorr and increasing at the rate of s’ 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.

A true and accurate delineation of the same shall be made on copies of published maps and 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 Annapolis, and the said commissioners shall further cause to be delineated upon copies of the published maps and charts of the United States coast and geodetic survey, of the largest scale, one copy for each of the counties of this State in the waters of which there are natural oyster beds, bars and rocks, all natural beds, bars and rocks lying within the waters of such county, which maps shall be filed in the offices of the clerks of the Circuit Court for the respective counties wherein the grounds so designated may lie. * * * Src. 87. The Governor of this State is hereby requested to ask the assistance of the United States coast and geodetic survey, and of the United States Fish Commissioner, to aid in the carrying out of the provisions of the preceding section. * * * * * * * * Src. 89. As soon as practicable after the first day of April, 1906, the said commissioners shall organize, and shall at once proceed, with the assistance of such person or persons as may be detailed by the United States coast and geodetic survey and the United States Fish Commissioner, to aid them in their work, and of such persons as may be appointed under the preceding section, 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 delineation on the maps and charts provided in this Act; said report shall be completed and filed in the office of the board in the city of Annapolis within ninety days after the completion of the survey of any county. Said commissioners shall cause the same to be published in pamphlet form, and transmit copies of the same to the Clerksof the Circuit court for the respective counties, where the charts have been filed or directed to be filed as hereinafter provided; the said report to be filed by the clerks of the several counties in a book kept for that purpose. And the said survey and report, when filed, subject to the right of appeal hereafter provided for in this Act, shall be taken in all of the courts of this State as conclusive evidence of the boundaries and limits of all natural oyster beds, bars and rocks, lying within the waters of the county wherein such survey and report are filed, and shall be construed to mean in all of the said courts that there are no natural oyster beds, bars or rocks lying within the waters of the counties wherein such report and survey are filed other than those embraced in the survey authorized by this Act, and that all areas of the Chesa- 172 Survey of Oyster Bars, Queen Annes County, Md. peake Bay and its tributaries within the State of Maryland, not shown in the survey to be natural oyster beds, bars or rocks shall be construed in all the courts of the State to be barren bottoms and open for disposal by the State for the purpose of private planting or propagation of oysters thereon under the provisions of this Act; provided, that the said survey and report shall not be construed as to affect in any manner the holdings by citizens of this State in any lot which may have been appro- priated or taken up under the laws of this State prior to the approval of this Act. 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. 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 aRDGnUBES 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 ance 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 jttry 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 ! Under the rulings of the Comptroller of the Treasury no damages can be collected except through the United States Court of Claims unless an agreement has been made in advance. 0 Dg eee “ee eae, > ™- Survey of Oyster Bars, Queen Annes County, Md. itis 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. {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 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.”’ 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, Oucen 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. E APPLICATION OF DEFINITION. i 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 swm 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. Notre.—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 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 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 allt i ten Se ee ee oe oe oe ee Survey of Oyster Bars, Queen Annes County, Md. 175 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. 1 See Appendix D of this publication for ‘Statistics of results of combined operations of the Government and State.” 2 See pp. 104 to 123 of First Annual Report of Maryland Shell Fish Commission. 3 See pp. 30 to 67 and 129 to 199 of First Annual Report of Maryland Shell Fish Commission. 4 No mention is made here of the large amouut 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. 176 Survey of Oyster Bars, Queen Annes County, Md.

MARYS COUNTY, MD. 25 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. 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 shellfish 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 1o-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 St. Marys 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 shellfish bottoms. The symbols used on the charts for the different kinds of boundaries, triangulation stations, contours of depth of water, ete., 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 St. Marys County, like those for Anne Arundel, Somerset, Wicomico, Worcester, Calvert, and Charles counties, have been prepared under the direc- tion of the hydrographic engineer of the Commission. These charts are constructed on polyconic projections and are based on the United States standard datum of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. They 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. Anne Arundel County required 13 leasing charts; Somerset County, 12 charts; Wicomico County, 2 charts; Worcester County, 3 charts; Calvert County, 5 charts; Charles County, 2 charts; and St. Marys County, 8 charts to cover their oyster bottoms. 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 26 SURVEY OF OYSTER BARS, ST. MARYS COUNTY, MD. 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 St. Marys County waters are 15 in number and on the seale 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 St. Marys 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 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 tidewater 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. ?

MARYS COUNTY, MD. 27 BOUNDARIES OF THE COUNTY WATERS. WATERS WITHIN TERRITORIAL LIMITS OF COUN'TY. 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 St. Marys 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 technically described and defined as follows: Patuxent River waters of St. Marys Counly.—Following the boundary line between St. Marys County and Charles County along the middle of Indian Creek as laid down on Chart No. 19, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland, to a point defined by the intersection of this boundary line with the boundary line in the Patuxent River between Calvert County on one side and Charles and St. Marys counties on the other side as laid down on Chart No. 19, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland; thence down the channel of Patuxent River following the channel boundary line between St. Marys and Calvert counties as laid down on Charts Nos. 19 and 20, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland, to a point in the mouth of Patuxent River defined by the intersection of this boundary line with a straight line connecting a point defined by latitude 38° 109’ 09.8 and longitude 76° 25’ 21.0’ * situated on Drum Point and a point defined by latitude 38° 18’ 35.9 and longitude 76° 23’ 59.8’ situated on Hog Point; thence along a straight line ending at a point defined by latitude 38° 18’ 35.9” and longitude 76° 23’ 59.8’ situated on Hog Point on the southern side of the entrance to Patuxent River. Chesapeake Bay waters of St. Marys County—Commencing at a point defined by latitude 38° 18 35-9 and longitude 76° 23’ 59.8’ situated on Hog Point on the southern side of the entrance to Patuxent River; thence along the mean low water line of the Chesapeake Bay shore of St. Marys County across the mouth of all inlets less than 100 yards in width, around Cedar Point and Point No Point, across the mouth of St. Jerome Creek, and around Point Look-in to a point defined by latitude 38° 02’ 11.0’ and longitude 76° 19’ 20.8’ situated on Point Lookout on the northern side of the mouth of Potomac River. Potomac River waters of St. Marys County.—Commencing at a point defined by latitude 38° 02’ 11.0 and longitude 76° 10’ 20.8” situated on Point Lookout on the northern side of the mouth of Potomac River; thence along the mean low-water line of the Potomac River shore of St. Marys County across the / -mouth of all inlets less than roo yards in width, around Cornfield Harbor and Cornfield Point to a point defined by latitude 38° 04’ 53.4’ and longitude 76° 22’ 24.2’ situated on a point on the south side of the entrance to Briscoe Creek; thence in a straight line across the mouth of Briscoe Creek to a point defined by latitude 38° 05’ 05.4” and longitude 76° 22’ 35.3” situated on a point on the north side of Briscoe Creek; thence along the mean low-water line of the Potomac River shore of St. Marys County across the mouth of all inlets less than roo yards in width, to a point defined by latitude 38° 05’ 14.6’’ and longitude 76° 22’ 47.8’ situated on the southeastern side of the entrance to Harry James Creek; thence in a straight line across the mouth of Harry James Creek to a point defined by latitude 38° 05/ 27.6/” and longitude 76° 23’ 16.5’ situated on the northwestern side of the entrance to Harry James Creek; thence along the mean low-water line of the Potomac River shore of St. Marys County across the mouth of all inlets less than roo yards in width, to a point defined by latitude 38° os’ 37.8’ and longitude 76° 23’ 33.2’ situated on Gravs Point on the eastern side of Calvert Bay entrance to Smiths Creek; 1 For a complete historical and legal description of the boundaries of the counties of Maryland, the valuable publication enti- tled “ The Counties of Maryland—Their Origin, Boundaries, and Election Districts,’’ prepared by Dr. Edward B.

MARYS COUNTY, MD. 29 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,”’ 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 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 located at the mouth and near the middle of Patuxent River defined by the intersection of Patuxent River channel boundary line between Calvert County and St. Marys County as laid down on Chart No. 20, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland, and the straight line between a point situated on Hog Point on the southern side of the entrance to Patuxent River defined by latitude 38° 18’ 35.9 and longitude 76° 23’ 59.8’ | and a point situated on Drum Point on the northern side of the entrance to Patuxent River defined by-latitude 38° 19’ 09.8’ and longitude 76° 25/ 21.0; thence along the Chesapeake Bay boundary between Calvert and St. Marys counties as laid down on “‘ Chart No. 20, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland,”’ to a point defined by latitude 38° 190’ 37.7’ and longitude 76° 19’ 19.0’ ’ situated about 534 miles southeast of Cove Point Light and 5!4 miles east by north of Drum Point Light; thence along the Chesapeake Bay boundary between St. Marys and Dorchester counties as laid down on ‘‘ Chart No. 20, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland,’’ toa point defined by latitude 38° 17’ 58.0” and longi- tude 76° 18’ 59.7” situated about 234 miles east of Cedar Point Light; thence along the Chesapeake Bay boundary between St. Marys and Dorchester counties as laid down on ‘‘ Charts Nos. 20, 21,and 22, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland,’’to a point defined by latitude 38° o4’ 34.8’ and longitude 76° 12’ o1.0”” situated near the middle of Chesapeake Bay near a Shoal marked by a red buoy of the U. S. Bureau of Lighthouses, which is about 55g miles west by north of Holland Island Bar Light and 71g miles east by north of Point Lookout Light; thence with the waters of Chesapeake Bay in a straight line between Somerset County and St. Marys County as laid down on ‘‘ Charts Nos. 22 and 23, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland,’’ to a point on Smith Point defined by the intersection of the straight line Maryland-Virginia boundary across Chesapeake Bay and the mean low-water line of the southern shore of Potomac River; thence in a straight line across the mouth of Potomac River along the line dividing the ‘‘ waters of the Potomac River under the joint jurisdiction of Maryland and Virginia as to fisheries’’ from the waters of St. Marys County in Chesapeake Bay, as laid down on ‘‘ Chart No. 23, Natural Oyster Bars, Maryland,’’ to a point defined by latitude 38° 02 11.0” and longitude 76° 10 20.8” situated on Point Lookout on the northern side of the mouth of Potomac River.” 1 Latitudes and longitudes based on the United States standard datum of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. 2 The waters of the Potomac River, although belonging to the State of Maryland, are under the joint jurisdiction of Maryland and Virginia as to fisheries, and for this reason the Maryland Shell Fish Commission did not consider it necessary to define the “‘waters contiguous to St. Marys County”’ lying in the Potomac River. LANDMARKS (UNITED STATES COAST AND. GEODETIC SURVEY TRIAN- GULATION 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 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 gradully 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 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 selec- 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 reference to well-known and prominent natural or artificial features, such as the 3° > a aes ee ey | ever, in spite of the primary importance of the location of the SURVEY OF OYSTER BARS, ST. MARYS COUNTY, MD. 31 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’”’ betng omitted to avoid needless repetition. These published oyster charts are on the large scale of 1 part in 20,000 (approximately 35 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- “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 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 “e 32 SURVEY OF OYSTER BARS, ST. MARYS COUNTY, MD. objectionable to the landowner, have led to establishment of “reference stations.” 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 tridngle 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. S.’ 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,’”’ whether used for marking the “‘obsetved 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 other- wise 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 befound. 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 destroved. 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’ 007’, 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 ) «c ce 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 St. Marys County was 5° 25‘ west of north in roro and increasing at the rate of 4’ yearly. [Sk PRR 81 » ‘ SURVEY OF OYSTER BARS, ST. MARYS COUNTY, MD. 58 looked on as results generally obtained by pacing or careful estimating. The ‘“‘meters,”’ 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.

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 cr 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 asafore- 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 LP the regular panel and elected as in other cases.

MARYS COUNTY, MD. AppENDIxX 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 natwral 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, chartered, 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 exer- cise 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, 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 oysterymen 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, SURVEY OF OYSTER BARS, ST. MARYS COUNTY, MD. 201 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 combiaed 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. Norte.—tThe factors into which the Commission resolved the livelihood problem, the values 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 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, 202 SURVEY OF OYSTER BARS, ST. MARYS COUNTY, MD. 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 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 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. 1 See Appendix D of this publication for ‘‘Statistics of results of combined operations of the Government and State.”’ 2 See pages 104-123 of *‘ First Annual Report of Maryland Shell Fish Commission.” 3 See pages 30-67 and 129-199 of ‘‘ First Annual Report of Maryland Shell Fish Commission.’’ 4 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. 203 SURVEY OF OYSTER BARS, ST.

SURVEY OF OYSTER BARS, SOMERSET COUNTY, MD. INTRODUCTION. PUBLICATIONS. The preparation of publications relating to the survey of the oyster bars, crab bottoms, and clam beds 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, crab bottoms, and clam beds 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 boundaries, 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 Commission. 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 information 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 part prepared and issued by the State under the direction of the Shell Fish Commission consists of an annual report? of all the operations of the Commission performed under the provisions of the laws of Maryland,¢ including results of biological and economic oyster investigations, methods and results of the hydrographic survey of 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- @ 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. b 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 ready for issue are those of Anne Arundel and Somerset counties. Those of Wicomico and Worcester counties are now being prepared. ¢ See page 16 and the progress map attached to this publication. @ These reports can be obtained by application to the Shell Fish Commission, Annapolis, Md. They are issued annually in October, and the first report is now available for distribution. € See Appendix D for an extract from the “First Report of the Maryland Shell Fish Commission,’’ giving a concise summary of the “Haman Oyster Culture Law.” 13 14 Survey of Ovster Bars, Somerset County, Md. 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 for a correct and practical survey of natural oyster bars; and it being one of the fundamental functions 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 advisor 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 fur- nished. 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 bar#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 REMARKS. 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 the many who may not understand the necessity for the great amount of work being done or r its com- plicated character. To those familiar with surveying methods on open waters the necessity for the various operations performed are evident, 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 Sous: attainable a.

Such refinement of survey work as 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. The technical records which established the relation between the offshore oyster boundaries and triangulation landmarks are sufficient for the requirements of engi- neers 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 barren 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. 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 hydrographic survey is a necessary operation of a complete oyster survey. ; Consequently, the necessary components of a satisfactory foundation for a complete oyster survey are the three classes of survey operations technically named triangula- tion, 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 navigational charts.

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. REPORT OF THE WORK OF THE COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY. INSTRUCTIONS. The two 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 Washington, has proved very beneficial to the work, and is greatly appreciated. _ DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND LABOR, OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY, Washington, June 2, 1906.

EQUIPMENT. 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 4 Survey party has had the constant use of the large steam launch Inspector and several z other boats furnished by their own Service, and the occasional use of the Bureau of Fisheries 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 have been furnished by the Coast and Geodetic Survey and consist of all necessary theodolites, levels, sextants, drafting instruments, hydrometers, ete., required for all field and office work. CHRONOLOGICAL STATEMENT OF WORK.° ’ On June 20, 1907, the “Charts of Natural Oyster Bars”’ and report? of “Survey of Oyster Bars” for Anne Arundel County were issued and filed, and the survey records and reports for that county have been filed in the archives of the Survey at Washington. In addition to this work, a Coast and Geodetic Survey signal-building party was engaged in the erection of triangulation signals in Somerset County from May 2 to June 25 in cooperation with a signal-building party of the Shell Fish Commission. @ By courtesy of Dr. H, F. Moore, U. S. Bureau of Fisheries. b By courtesy of Capt. James A. Turner, commanding. ¢ The field and office work relating to Somerset County is so intermixed with that of Wicomico County that this statement includes part of the work of the latter county. @ See this report for an account of the work from July 3, 1906, to June 20, 1907. 50095—08——3 18 Survey of Oyster Bars, Somerset County, Md. From June 25 to November 6, when the field work in Somerset and Wicomico counties was practically completed, the usual routine of field and office work was followed without material interruption except that resulting from the moving of the house boat Oyster from Crisfield to Manokin River on July 13, then to Piney Island on August 27, and to Wicomico River, on August 30, where she remained until her removal to Nanti- coke River on September 30. From this latter date the work in Wicomico County predominated, and when the field surveys were practically completed on November 6 the entire party left by rail for Worcester County, it being impracticable to move the house boat to the waters of that locality. j At the close of the survey work in Worcester County in the last part of December, office work relating to Somerset and Wicomico counties was actively commenced at Baltimore* and was continued without material interruption. until March 23, 1908, when a subparty went to Worcester and Somerset counties to finish some details of field _ work in those sections required for the preparation of the technical reports and oyster charts. 3 The very large amount of work of computation and drafting necessary to make the results of the survey of the previous season available for publication was nearly com- pleted on May 2, when it was transferred to the Government quarters on the house boat — Oyster, which left Baltimore on the same day with the party and outfit for her anchorage off Solomons Island, in the Patuxent River. The active field work in Calvert County dates from May 2, but from that time until the filing of this report and the oyster charts of Somerset County the chief of party, in addition to his regular field duties, was frequently at Baltimore and Washington to look after their final preparation for publication.

The results obtained from the work of the Coast and Geodetic Survey in-Somerset County in cooperation with the Bureau of Fisheries and the Maryland Shell Fish Com- mission need no other summary than is indicated by the published ‘“‘Charts of Natural Oyster Bars’’ and the scheme of hydrographic projections and triangulation stations shown on the progress map at the beginning of this report. 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 were prepared with all the accuracy 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 by published technical descriptions which should minimize the proba- bility 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 location 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 sixty-five years. In fact, when the survey of the oyster bars of Maryland is completed, it is believed that it will stand the test of time and practical use as a working foundation for whatever form the oyster legislation of the future may assume; and that the doing of the work systematically and accurately, once for all, not only means a better foundation of a great oyster industry by irradicably locating the natural oyster bars for the use of the public, but also a better and more permanent superstructure of oyster culture for the individual by the reason of the integrity of the foundation on which it stands. Before ending this report the representative of the Coast and Geodetie 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 efficient cooperation, well-known experience, and scientific knowledge of all matters relating to oysters have been of great value to the work. 20 Survey of Oyster Bars, Somerset County, Md. 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 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 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. To Thomas H. Robinson, counsel to the Commission, for courteously furnishing valuable information relating to county boundaries. 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 important information or willing services. CHARTS AND MAPS. CHARTS OF NATURAL OYSTER BARS. The charts? of the natural oyster bars of ‘“Somerset County and Adjacent Waters,”’ published by the Coast and Geodetic Survey from results of surveys of the Government in cooperation with the Maryland Shell Fish Commission, consist of a series of five sheets covering the eastern shore of Chesapeake Bay from Hooper Strait to the Maryland- { Virginia boundary, including Tangier and Pocomoke sounds and numerous other tributaries. They are published on a scale of 1 part in 20,000 (approximately 314 inches 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, crab bottoms, clam beds, and other boundaries established by the Commission, and are certified for the purpose of filing in the office of the clerk of the circuit court of Somerset County and in the office of the Commission at Annapolis, 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 Survey, at Washington, D. C. » Much of the details of the inshore topography was obtained from the excellent map of Somerset 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, Somerset County, Md. 21 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, crab bottoms, and clam beds are those used locally, as nearly as could be ascertained by the hydrographic engineer of the Commission. When there was no local name in common use, as was generally the case with the crab bottoms, 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 and crab bottoms, especially by those not familiar with the use of maps. The corners of the oyster bars, crab bottoms, and clam beds 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, crab bottoms, or clam beds, as the case may be, these points have two or more numbers, each number corre- sponding to the bar, bottom, or bed in which the figure is located. The numbers of the corners correspond with the technical and legal descriptions of this publication under the headings of ‘Boundaries of natural oyster bars,” ‘“‘Boundaries of crab bottoms,”’ and ‘‘ Boundaries of clam beds.” The landmarks, oyster bars, crab bottoms, and clam beds have been grouped in the “Contents”’ of this publication in accordance with the charts upon which they are shown. To find a particular bar, bottom, bed, or landmark which is only known by name, consult the ‘‘Contents’’ and the desired chart and general location will be indi- cated. To find the name of a bar, bottom, bed, or landmark which is only known by location, consult the progress map at the beginning 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, bottom, bed, 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 industries. The 1-fathom contour (6 feet) corresponds in a general way to the outer limits of the crab bottoms, while the waters outside of this curve and inside the 5-fathom contour (30 feet) practically include all the oyster bars surveyed. The 3-fathom con- tour (18 feet) furnishes the curve of about the average depth of water on the oyster bars and the 1o-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 Somerset 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, crab bottoms, and clam beds 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 22 Survey of Oyster Bars, Somerset County, Md. Coast and Geodetic Survey. These areas are given in small figures in parentheses on the face of the chart and are usually located within the boundaries of the different areas. 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 Somerset County, like those for Anne Arundel County, have been prepared under the direction of the hydrographic engineer of the Commission. These charts are constructed on polyconic projections and based on the United States standard datum of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. They are made on the scales of I part in 5,000 or 1 part in 10,000, as the needs of oyster culture may require. Anne Arundel County required 13 leasing charts and Somerset County 12 to cover their oyster bottoms. 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 irregular shape, but the lots leased under the provision of the new oyster laws must be of rec- tangular 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 rec- tangles of 1 acre or 5 acres, as may be best suited to area under consideration, and prospective leaseholders by the rules of the Commission are compelled to select whole rectangles as far as practicable. 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 Annapolis. PROJECTIONS. The polyconic projections” covering Somerset County waters are 13 in number and on the scale of 1 part in 10,000. They were all constructed by draftsmen of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, who also plotted the sextant positions on the smooth projections which determine the location of the legal boundaries of the oyster bars, crab bottoms, or clam beds as delineated by the Shell Fish 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 office of the Shell Fish Commission at Annapolis. @ For the scheme of these projections see the progress map at the beginning of this publication. Survey of Oyster Bars, Somerset County, Md. 22 PROGRESS MAPS. The progress map to be found at the beginning of this publication is on a scale of 1 part in 100,000, and shows in outline the work accomplished by the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey in Somerset 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 map? accompanying the ‘First Annual Report of the Maryland Shell Fish Commission”’ was prepared under the direction of the hydrographic engineer of the Commission. It is on the scale of 1 part in 400,000 and shows 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 of Maryland. BOUNDARIES OF 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 Somerset 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 charts and the smooth projections of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, is technically described and defined as follows: Commencing at a point defined by the intersection of the channels of Wicomico Creek and Wicomico River; thence with the channel of Wicomico River along the boundary line as laid down on Chart No. 5 of the “Natural Oyster Bars” of Maryland, published by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, to a point defined by the intersection of the channel of Nanticoke River with Wicomico River; thence in a straight line to a point defined by @ latitude 38° 11’ 50/”3, and longitude 75° 58’ 20.8, situated in upper end of a4 This map and report can be obtained by application to Maryland Shell Fish Commission, at Annapolis, Md. > 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. ¢See “Charts of Natural Oyster Bars,” published by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, and the progress map at the beginning of this publication. @Tatitudes and longitudes based on the United States standard datum of the U.

LANDMARKS (U. S. COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY TRIANGULATION STATIONS). EXPLANATION OF DESCRIPTIONS OF LANDMARKS. The oyster laws of Maryland authorizing the surveys 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 locations of landmarks ina uniform and logical manner. The descriptions start with the assumption that the individual seeking to find a landmark has only an indefinite idea of its location. @ See progress map at the end of this publication 50095—8——4 26 Survey of Oyster Bars, Somerset County, Ma. They then gradually proceed from general descriptions of the surroundings of a land- mark to the specific details of the character of the center and reference markings. An examination of the descriptions themselves will best indicate the method followed. The heading of each description is the name by which the landmark or triangulation station is known and designated in all work and records of the Government and State. Under the heading of “Locality”’ the first paragraph gives a description of the general locality of the landmark and the serial number of the published ‘Chart of Oyster Bars’’ of Maryland which best shows its location. The published charts are on the large scale of 1 part in 20,000, and show the location of the triangulation stations so clearly that in many cases the written descriptions will not be required to find them. Under the same heading of ‘‘ Locality” the second paragraph furnishes the deserip- tion of the immediate locality of the landmark and refers to the bearing and distance of standard cement monument marking the reference station, as it is the first object that is likely to catch the eye when the immediate vicinity of the desired station is reached. Under the heading of ‘‘Marks’’ a description is given of the character of the mark- ings of the ‘‘observed station”’ and the reference station. It will be noted that, although the ‘observed station”’ is the one ‘‘occupied”’ and ‘‘observed on”’ for horizontal angles, and also the one whose geographic position is computed, 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 these stations on edges of banks and ends of points of land, which in Chesapeake Bay and tributaries generally means that 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 necessity of reference marks, if the frequent reestablishment of a new framework of triangulation is to be avoided. 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,” 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. 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. It is the expectation that the reference stations,” the character of which is explained tions,’’ application should be made to the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey at Wash- ington, D. C. Survey of Oyster Bars, Somerset County, Md. 27 tions.’ This has been made possible by the careful measurements of direction and distance of these stations from the ‘‘observed station,’’ which are recorded under the heading of ‘‘ References.” Under the heading of ‘“‘References’’ are given the directions and distances of 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, hydrography, 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. Its direction is taken as being 0° 00’ 00”, and the direction 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 parenthesis alongside the 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 compass bearings or for the relocation of corner buoys of oyster-bar boundaries by the method of horizontal angles 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,”’ 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 direction with which they are recorded. “ce a9 DESCRIPTIONS OF TRIANGULATION STATIONS. SENATOR.

EXPLANATION OF DESCRIPTIONS OF BOUNDARIES. The oyster bars of Somerset County are 37 in number, and their total area, as marked out by buoys placed by the hydrographic engineer of the Commission, is 27,566 acres. As provided by law, the boundaries of the oyster bars are all straight lines, but they inclose areas of all shapes from triangles to complicated fourteen-sided figures, and of all sizes from 3,083 acres to 10 acres.” The sides vary in length from 130 to 6,800 yards, and in some cases the corners of the boundaries are practically at the triangulation stations from which they are located, while in other instances they are over 13,600 yards from the landmarks most available for the purpose of fixing their positions. 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, has made the problem of describing the boundaries one of considerable difficulty and importance. The boundaries of the oyster bars of Maryland, as established by the Shell Fish Commission and delineated on the Coast and Geodetie 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 future. 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 the county. At the top of each tabular form is given the legal name of the oyster bar to be described, its general locality, and the serial number of the ‘“‘Charts- e Oyster Bars” of Maryland on which its legal boundaries are shown. The first column, under the heading of ‘‘Corner of bar,’”’ gives the number corre- sponding 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 clockwise direction around the bar; but where a corner of one oyster bar is identical with the @ For similar statistics for other counties that have — surveyed, see Appendix C ee this publi- cation. 56 Survey of Oyster Bars, Somerset County, Md. corner of the boundaries of one or more other oyster bars, crab bottoms, or clam beds, only the number of the corner of the oyster bar being described in the table is given in this column. The second and third columns, under the headings of ‘‘ Latitude’’ and “‘ Longitude,” give the geographic positions of the corners. These positions have been adopted by the Commission as the primary technical definition of the corners, and should be considered as final in case of a dispute arising from discrepancies 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 of the Survey, even though all the land- marks and buoys originally used for their location have been destroyed by natural causes or by acts of vandals desiring to defeat the purposes of the oyster laws of Maryland. The fourth and fifth 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 computations took into account the spheroidal shape of the earth. The sixth 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. The seventh and last column, under the heading of ‘““U. 5. C. & G. S. triangulation station,’ gives the names of the landmarks from which were computed the correspond- ing ‘“‘Latitude,” “Longitude,” ‘True bearing,” and ‘‘ Distance” of the “Corner of 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 ‘‘ Description 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 mean magnetic variation of Somerset County for 1908 was 5° 30’ west of north, and increasing at the rate of 3’ yearly. > Geographic positions of these triangulation stations can be obtained by application to the Super- intendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey at Washington. Survey of Oyster Bars, Somerset County, Md. 57 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 recommended only for cases in dispute that can not be settled satisfactorily by some other method. An explanation of this class of work would be too long for a report of this sort, and those not familiar with this method are referred to the publications on the subject by the Coast and Geodetic Survey. (2) Hydrographic.—This 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, but not until the two angles determining the position of any buoy have been derived from the ‘‘Forward bearing”’ given in the tabular forms describing the boundaries of the oyster bars. For example, take ‘‘Turtle Egg Island” 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 “‘Senator’’ and “Deal Island Church”’ as determined from right to left from the forward bearings from this corner is 128° 39’ and the angle between ‘‘Deal Island Church” and “‘Crab”’ is 99° 30’. 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 calcula- tions 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 accom- plished by moving the boat about until a point is reached where 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 cireum- stances, any three landmarks of suitable relative positions 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 50095—08——8 58 Survey of Oyster Bars, Somerset County, Md. 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 bound- ary 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 adjacent 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 land- marks are shown by the sextant to subtend the same angle obtained from the pro- tractor. ‘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 pro- tractor angles. The point thus located is the desired one and the buoy can be placed to mark the true position 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 locations of points are 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 offjshore.—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 takes 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 alto- gether, the desired point can be determined by maneuvering the vessel until the cor- rected 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 by getting their bearings directly from the chart by parallel rulers or a pro- tractor and then applying them 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 «The mean magnetic variation of Somerset County for 1908 was 5° 30’ west of north and increasing at the rate of 3’ yearly. Survey of Oyster Bars, Somerset County, Md. 59 “back” bearing (corrected for local magnetic declination), given in the fourth column of the tables opposite the ‘“‘corner”’ in question and on line with the name of the ‘“‘sta- tion” being occupied. 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 trian- gulation 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. 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’ oo0’’ 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 the ‘‘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. BOUNDARIES OF NATURAL OYSTER BARS. TURTLE EGG ISLAND.

BOUNDARIES OF CLAM BEDS. EXPLANATION OF DESCRIPTIONS OF BOUNDARIES. The Maryland legislature of 1908 in an act” passed to prescribe additional duties to be performed by the Board of Shell Fish Commissioners provided for the establish- ment of boundaries of certain clam beds in Pocomoke Sound, which were to be “‘sur- veyed and designated on charts’’ and records prepared and filed in every particular as provided for by the Maryland laws for the survey of natural oyster bars. The clam beds specified by the law are only 3 in number, with total acreage of 506. acres, the largest bed being 180 acres and the smallest 152 acres. The boundaries of these clam beds were surveyed and established by the Shell Fish Commission and delineated on the ‘‘Charts of Oyster Bars’’ published by the Coast and Geodetic Survey in a manner identical with that used for the establishment of the oyster bar boundaries. Therefore the “Explanation of descriptions of boundaries,” under the heading of ‘‘ Boundaries of oyster bars,” to be found in another part of this publication, will apply to the clam beds. « For the text of this act see Appendix B of this publication. Survey of Oyster Bars, Somerset County, Md. yg ha SURVEYING METHODS OF RELOCATION OF BOUNDARIES. For similar reasons to those given under the previous heading, the ‘Surveying methods of relocation of boundaries,” given under the heading of ‘‘ Boundaries of oyster bars,’ to be found in another part of this publication, will apply to clam beds.

[Extract from First 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, provision 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.” 118 Survey of Oyster Bars, Somerset County, Mad. 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.”’ DEFINITION ‘OF A NATURAL OYSTER BAR. 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 consid- ered 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 culturalists, 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 bar which very nearly approaches a reasonable and satisfactory compromise between the extreme views given above and which has therefore been adopted by the Commission, 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 . Tood, v. Job T. Moore. It is as follows: , What then is a natural bar or bed of oysters? It would bea 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 cannot be located or appropriated by any individual.”’ O CHART No.10. 1 | } i Fold-out Placeholder | This fold-out is being digitized, and will be insert edat , future date. : : i ¢ 7 ae —— eee pets eS = a $405 Asians Tey, Sihpid- sersed attic DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND LABOR COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY O.

BOUNDARIES OF THE COUNTY WATERS.4 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 Wicomico 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 charts and the smooth projections of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, is identical with the boundary line between Wicomico County and the adjacent counties of Dorchester and Somerset; therefore technically all waters opened up for leasing with Wicomico County are within the “territorial limits’’ of that county. 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 U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, ‘‘which said copies shall be filed in the office of the said Commissioners in the city of Annapolis,” 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. But technically, as explained under the preceding heading of ‘“‘Waters within territorial limits of county,’ there are no “‘waters contiguous to the county’? in Wicomico County; and therefore there are no waters opened up for leasing with that county in which a person can lease ‘‘a greater amount than ten acres.”’ « 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. bSee “Charts of Natural Oyster Bars,” published by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, and the progress map at the end of this publication. 20 tes eg 2 a a es ee ae LANDMARKS (U. S. COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY TRIANGULATION STATIONS). EXPLANATION OF DESCRIPTIONS OF LANDMARKS. The oyster laws of Maryland authorizing the surveys 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 locations of landmarks in a uniform and logical manner. The descriptions start with the assumption that the individual seeking to find a landmark has only an indefinite idea of its location. They then gradually proceed from general descriptions of the surroundings of a landmark to the specific details of the character of the center and reference markings. An exam- ination of the descriptions themselves will best indicate the method followed. The heading of each description is the name by which the landmark or triangulation station is known and designated in all work and records of the Government and State. Under the heading of “Locality” the first paragraph gives a description of the general locality of the landmark and the serial number of the published “Chart of Oyster Bars” of Maryland which best shows its location. The published charts are on the large scale of 1 part in 20,000, and show the location of the triangulation stations so clearly that in many cases the written descriptions will not be required to find them. Under the same heading of “ Locality’’ the second paragraph furnishes the descrip- tion of the immediate locality of the landmark and refers to the bearing and distance of standard cement monument marking the reference station, as it is the first object that is likely to catch the eye when the immediate vicinity of the desired station is reached. Under the heading of ‘‘ Marks” a description is given of the character of the mark- ings of the ‘‘observed station”’ and the reference station. It will be noted that, although 2 22 Survey of Oyster Bars, Wicomtco County, Mad. the “observed station’’ is the one “‘occupied”’ and ‘“‘observed on”’ for horizontal angles, and also the one whose geographic position is computed, 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 these stations on edges of banks and ends of points of land, which in Chesapeake Bay and tributaries generally means that 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 necessity of reference marks, if the frequent reestablishment of a new framework of triangulation is to be avoided. 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. S.” 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,’’ 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. 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. It is the expectation that the reference stations,” the character of which is explained above, will be used in many cases in the near future in the place of the “observed sta- tions.”’ This has been made possible by the careful measurements of direction and distance of these stations from the ‘‘observed station,’ which are recorded under the heading of ‘‘ References.” Under the heading of ‘“‘References’’ are given the directions and distances of 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, hydrography, 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. 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 parenthesis alongside the name. This furnishes means for the calculation of the bearings of any of the other ” “cc “c ‘ «To obtain the geographic positions of any of the “observed stations” or of the “reference sta- tions,” application should be made to the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey at Wash- ington, D. C. ; b The mean magnetic variation for Wicomico County is 5° 45’ west of north 1908) and is increasing at the rate of 3’ yearly. Survey of Oyster Bars, Wicomico County, Md. 23 reference objects for the purposes of locating a station by compass bearings or for the relocation of corner buoys of oyster-bar boundaries by the method of horizontal angles 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,” 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 direction with which they are recorded. DESCRIPTIONS OF TRIANGULATION STATIONS. COW.

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.” . . . | Survey of Oyster Bars, Wicomico County, Md. 53 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.” DEFINITION OF A NATURAL OYSTER BAR. 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 bar which very nearly approaches a reasonable and satisfactory compromise between the extreme views given above and which has therefore been adopted by“the Commission, 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. Tood, v. Job T. Moore. It 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 cannot be located or appropriated by any individual.” AppENDIxX C.—STATISTICS OF RESULTS OF THE COMBINED OPERATIONS OF THE GOVERNMENT AND STATE. For a further understanding of the character of the oyster survey work that is being carried on in Maryland, the following statistical tabulation of the combined results of the various operations of both the Goyernment and State will be of value.

INTRODUCTION. PUBLICATIONS. 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 @ 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. b See Appendix C for a summary of the particular surveying operations which constitute an “ oyster survey’’ as now being carried on in Maryland. ¢ 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 ready for issue are those for Anne Arundel, Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester counties; those for Calvert, St. Marys, and Charles counties are now being prepared. d@ 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 comple- tion 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. é These reports can be obtained by application to the Shell Fish Commission, Annapolis, Md. They are issued annually in October, and the first and second reports are now available for distribution, ate 12 Survey of Oyster Bars, Worcester County, Md. performed under the provisions of the laws of Maryland,* including results of biological and economic oyster investigations, methods and results of the hydrographic survey of 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 fune- 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 @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.” b See Appendix D of this publication for ‘‘ Statistics of results of combined operations of the Gov- ernment and State.” ¢ Hon. George M. Bowers, Commissioner of Fisheries, has detailed for this service Dr. H. F. Moore, Assistant, Bureau of Fisheries. @¥or 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, Worcester County, Md. 13 little other summary than is indicated by the published “Charts of Natural Oyster Bars” and the scheme of hydrographic projections and triangulation stations shown on the county progress maps attached to each report. 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 shellfish 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 sixty-five years. In fact, when the survey of the oyster bars of Maryland is completed, it is believed that it will stand the test of time and practical use as a working foundation for whatever form the oyster legislation of the future may assume, and that the doing of the work systematically and accurately, once for all, means the establishment of a foundation of a great oyster industry by ineradicably locating the natural oyster bars for the use of the public, and a still greater permanent superstructure of real oyster culture as a reward for individual enterprise, by reason of the integrity of the survey by which the rights of the public are secured.

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. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND LABOR, OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY, Washington, June 2, 1906. Sir: In reply to your letter of May 28, requesting me to designate officers of the Coast and Geo- detic Survey and of the Bureau of Fisheries to cooperate with the State of Maryland in making survey of and locating the natural oyster beds, I have the honor to inform you that Mr. C. C. Yates will be designated to cooperate on the part of the Coast and Geodetic Survey as soon as Congress makes the provisions of the act effective by providing an appropriation for the purpose. Respectfully, LAWRENCE O. Murray, Assistant Secretary. His Excellency Hon. Epwin WARFIELD, - Governor of Maryland, Annapolis, Md. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND LABOR, Coast AND GEODETIC SURVEY, Washington, July 3, 1906. Sir: Upon the receipt of these instructions you will surrender the command, accounts, etc., of the steamer Endeavor to the Hydrographic Inspector. * * * As soon as this transfer is completed you will enter upon the duties of Coast Survey representative on the Shell Fish Commission of Maryland. You will consult the commissioners, prepare a programme of work, and submit estimates in the usual form. You are authorized to come to Washington for consultation from time to time as may be necessary. Very respectfully, O. H. Tirrmann, Superintendent. Capt. C. C. YaTEs, U.S.C. and G. S Steamer Endeavor, Baltimore, Md. @ For ee eee see Meee. ae Survey of Oyster Bars, Worcester County, Md. 15 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 transportation equipment for the field work of the party in Worcester County was confined to hired launches and boats, as the waters of that region are too shallow for the use of the type of boats utilized by the Survey and the Commission in Chesa- peake Bay. It being impracticable to move the Shell Fish Commission house boat Oyster to the ocean coast of Maryland, the convenient living and office quarters furnished the Govern- ment on that vessel had to be exchanged for temporary quarters on shore. 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 in Worcester County dates from November 8, 1907, when the survey in Wicomico County was completed and the entire party moved to Chincoteague, Va., where headquarters were established. On December 6, 1907, a subparty was organized for field work in the upper part of the county, the work of this party being done from a small house boat which was towed by a gasoline launch. On December 19, 1907, all field work was closed for the season and office quarters established in Baltimore.? No further field work was done in Worcester County until March 23, 1908, when a subparty was organized to complete the triangulation, which work was finished on April 18, 1908. On March 8, 1909, a subparty was organized to do some additional field work in Somerset County, and at the same time to inspect and replace certain triangulation monuments in Worcester County which were reported to have been injured. This latter work occupied thirteen days and was completed March 30, 1900. The office work connected with Worcester County, including the preparation of the oyster charts and technical records for publication, has been continued intermittingly from the beginning of the field work, on November 8, 1907, to the present time. The delay in the completion of the office work was due to various causes, but chiefly to the desirability of utilizing the new shore line being surveyed for other purposes by a topo- graphic party of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. This topographic work was available for use in the preparation of publications in beginning of present year, and adds greatly to the accuracy and value of the published oyster charts of Worcester County. house by courtesy of Hon.

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 coileague 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. Mitcheli, 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 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 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. To Thomas H. Robinson, counsel to the Commission, for courteously furnishing valuable information relating to county boundaries. 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 important information or willing serv ices. a These statistics only include field and office Ww work directly performed by the party of the Coast and Geodetic Survey in connection with the oyster survey of Worcester 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 Maryland. ee ee CHARTS AND MAPS. CHARTS OF NATURAL OYSTER BARS. The charts® of the natural oyster bars of Worcester 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 the greater part of the shores of Chincoteague and Sinepuxent bays, including all oyster-producing bottoms of Worcester County. They are published on a scale of 1 part in 20,000 (approximately 3 inches toa statute mile) and are constructed on polyconic projections which are 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 Worcester County and in the office of the Commission at Annapolis, 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 oye point a corner of two or more oyster bars, these points have two or more numbers, each number corresponding 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 ‘‘ Boundaries of natural oyster bars.” The landmarks and oyster bars have been grouped in the ‘“‘Contents’’ of this publication in accordance with the charts upon which they are shown. To find a «@ These charts can be obtained by application to the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, at Washington, D. C. b Much of the detail of the inshore topography was obtained from the excellent map of Worcester 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. ‘ 82497—09——2 17 18 Survey of Oyster Bars, Worcester County, Md. particular oyster bar or landmark which is only known by name, consult the ‘‘Con- tents’’ 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. 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. The boundaries of the waters within the “territorial limits of the county’’ opened up for the leasing with Worcester County are plainly indicated on the charts. A description of this boundary is given in this publication under the heading ‘‘ Boundaries of the 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 measure- ments 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 shellfish 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 Worcester County, like those for Anne Arundel, Somerset, and Wicomico counties, have been prepared under the direction of the hydrographic engineer of the Commission. These charts are constructed on polyconic projections which are based on the United States standard datum of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. They 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. Anne Arundel County required 13 leasing charts, Somerset County 12, Wicomico County 2, and Worcester County 3 to cover their oyster bottoms. 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 irregular 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 smal! rectangles 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 practicable. 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 Annapolis. ’ Survey of Oyster Bars, Worcester County, Md. 19 PROJECTIONS. The polyconic projections * covering Worcester County waters are 5 in number and on the scale of 1 part in 10,000. They were constructed by draftsmen of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, who also plotted the sextant positions which determine the location of the legal boundaries of the oyster bars as delineated by the Shell Fish 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 office of the Shell Fish Commission, at Annapolis. 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 U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey in Worcester 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 eS) covered by the operations of the oyster survey. @ For the scheme of these projections see the progress map at the end of this publication. +b These maps and reports can be obtained by application to Maryland Shell Fish Commission, Annapolis, Md. BOUNDARIES OF THE COUNTY WATERS.2 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 Worcester 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 charts and the smooth projections of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, is identical with the boundary line between the waters of Worcester County and the waters of the adjacent States of Delaware and Virginia excepting the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Therefore ~ technically all waters opened up for leasing with Worcester County are within the “territorial limits’? of that county. : 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 U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, “which said copies shall be filed in the office of the said Commissioners in the city of Annapolis,’’ 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. But technically, as explained under the preceding heading of ‘Waters within territorial limits of county,’’ there are no ‘“‘waters contiguous to the county’’ in Worcester: County excepting the waters of the ocean, and therefore there are no waters opened up for leasing with that county in which a person can lease “a greater amount than ten acres.” ‘ @¥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 bound- aries 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. 6 See “Charts of Natural Oyster Bars,’’ published by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, and the progress map at the end of this publication. 20 LANDMARKS (U. S. COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY TRIANGULATION STATIONS). EXPLANATION. 2 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 jandmarks 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 of describing the triangulation stations, as tt 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.—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 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. 21 22 Survey of Oyster Bars, Worcester County, Md. 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 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 31% inches to astatute 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 ‘enter 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, andis 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 explainedin the preceding paragraph, but in several instances other reasons, such as the location of the ‘‘observed station”’ Survey of Oyster Bars, Worcester County, Md. 23 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.” 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 “reference 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. S.” 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,’ 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. Rejerences.—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 light-house, church spire, or other permanent and prominent point. Its direction is taken as being 0° oo’ oo’, 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.” ’ ‘ @ 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. b The mean magnetic variation for Worcester County was 5° 55’ west of north in 1909 and increasing at the rate of 314’ yearly. 24 Survey of Oyster Bars, Worcester County, Md. 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,”’ 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. THOROFARE.

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 Commissioners, 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 delineation 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 cor- ners 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. Therefore 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 complicated 14-sided figures, and of all sizes from 4 acres to 7,548 acres. The sides 44 Survey of Oyster Bars, Worcester County, Md. 45 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 established 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 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 num- ber 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 clockwise direction around the bar; but 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 “Longitude,” 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 @ These charts can be obtained by application to the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey at Washington, D. C. 46 Survey of Oyster Bars, Worcester County, Md. 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 columms, 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.—tThis 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.—Vhis column, under the heading of “U.S. C. & G.

A full description of the location and mark- ings 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 explanation of this class of work would be too long for a report of this sort, and those « The mean magnetic variation for Worcester County was 5° 55’ west of north in 1909 and increas- ing at the rate of 31%’ yearly. + Geographic positions of these triangulation stations can be obtained by application to the Super- intendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, Washington, D. C. Survey of Oyster Bars, Worcester County, Md. A7 not familiar with this method are referred to the publications on the subject by the Coast and Geodetic Survey. (2) Hydrographic.—This 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 bound- aries of the oyster bars. For example, take “‘South Point’’ 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 “Birch” and ‘‘Neck”’ as determined from right to left from the forward bearings from this corner is 59° 11’ and the angle between “Neck” and ‘“‘Newport”’ is 49° 44’. 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 meas- ured 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 bound- ary 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 adjacent 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 48 Survey of Oyster Bars, Worcester County, Md. protractor. The second angle is then placed on the sextaut 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 position 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 locations of points are 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 from 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 takes 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 by getting their bearings directly from the chart by parallel rulers or a protractor and then applying them in the same manner as the ones published in the tables. (4) Magnetic bearings from 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 thé corresponding “back”’ bearing (corrected for local magnetic declination) given in the fourth column of the tables opposite the “‘corner’’ in question, and 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. , @ The mean magnetic variation for Worcester County is 5° 55’ west of north in 1909 and increasing at the rate of 314’ yearly. Survey of Oyster Bars, Worcester County, Md. 49 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° oo’ 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. BOUNDARIES OF NATURAL OYSTER BARS. SOUTH POINT.

The Board of Shell Fish Commissioners shall, as soon as practicable after the passage of this Act, cause to be made a true and accurate survey of the natural oyster beds, bars and rocks of this State, said survey to be made 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, as hereinafter required. A true and accurate delineation of the same shall be made on copies of published maps and 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 Annapolis; and the said commissioners shall further cause to be Survey of Oyster Bars, Worcester County, Md. 63 delineated upon copies of the published maps and charts of the United States coast and geodetic survey, of the largest scale, one copy for each of the counties of this State in the waters of which there are natural oyster beds, bars and rocks, all natural beds, bars and rocks lying within the waters of such county, which maps shall be filed in the offices of the clerks of the Circuit Court for the respective counties wherein the grounds so designated may lie. * * * Sec. 87. The Governor of this State is hereby requested to ask the assistance of the United States coast and geodetic survey, and of the United States Fish Commissioner, to aid in the carrying out of the provisions of the preceding section. * * * * * * * SEc. 89. As soon as practicable after the first day of April, 1906, the said commissioners shall organize, and shall at once proceed, with the assistance of such person or persons as may be detailed by the United States coast anid geodetic survey, and the United States Fish Commissioner, to aid them in their work, and of such persons as may be appointed under the preceding section, to ha've 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 delineation on the maps and charts provided in this Act; said report shall be completed and filed in the office of the board in the city of Annapolis within ninety days after the completion of the survey of any county. Said commissioners shall cause the same to be published in pamphlet form, and transmit copies of the same to the clerks of the Circuit Court for the respective counties, where the charts have been filed or directed to be filed as hereinafter provided; the said report to be filed by the clerks of the several counties in a book kept for that purpose. And the said survey and report, when filed, subject to the right of appeal hereafter provided for in this Act, shall be taken in all of the courts of this State as conclusive evidence of the boundaries and limits of all natural oyster beds, bars and rocks, lying within the waters of the county wherein such survey and report are filed, and shall be construed to mean in all of the said courts that there are no natural oyster beds, bars or rocks lying within the waters of the counties wherein such report and survey are filed, other than those embraced in the survey authorized by this Act, and that all areas of the Chesa- peake Bay and its tributaries within the State of Maryland, not shown in the survey to be natural oyster beds, bars or rocks shall be construed in all the courts of the State to be barren bottoms, and open for disposal by the State for the purpose of private planting or propagation of oysters thereon under the provisions of this Act; provided, that the said survey and report shall not be construed as to affect in any manner the holdings by citizens of this State in any lot which may have been appro- priated or taken up under the laws of this State prior to the approval of this Act. 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. 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 levelling, 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 epueadaees requisite for that purpose, doing no unnecessary injury to private or other property. Sec. 2.4 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 @ Under the rulings of the Comptroller of the Treasury no damages can be collected except through the United States Court of Claims unless an agreement has been made in advance. 64 Survey of Oyster Bars, Worcester County, Md. 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 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 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. 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. [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, provision 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.” Survey of Oyster Bars, Worcester County, Md. 65 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.” 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. APPLICATION OF DEFINITION. g; 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 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. Before this definition may be of use in determining, accurately and scientifically, the status of an 82497—09—5 66, | Survey of Oyster Bars, Worcester County, Md. 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. 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 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 frame work 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 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 hydro- graphic work.b 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. @ See Appendix D of this publication for ‘‘Statistics of results of combined operations of the Government and State.’’ >See pages 104 to 123 of ‘‘First Annual Report of Maryland Shell Fish Commission.” Survey of Oyster Bars, Worcester County, Md. 67 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 char- acteristic 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.
