Measuring the Earth Across America A Gigantic Arc Completed
The United States coast and geodetic survey finished an 8000 mile triangulation arc to map the earth curvature across the American hemisphere. Initiated by Jefferson in 1807, the project verified base lines in Kansas and Salt Lake Valley, with updates on engineers Welker, Grainger, and measurements from Mount Elbert to Ouray using heliographs. The work aims to draft a new true figure of the earth and estimate diameter within 50 feet, while a parallel leveling line from Sandy Hook to San Francisco will establish sea levels after over 30 years of tide observations.
