LAST 7.5' Tapa QUAD TO PRINTER

The Wisconsin Topographic MappingCommittee received word from the U.S.Geological SUrvey mapping center atRolla, M) that the reproductionnegatives for the last 60 1: 24, OOO-scaletopographic quadrangles were shipped onSeptember 30, 1984 to the Printing andDistribution Center at Reston, VA. Theletter stated that "This will result inthe State having complete coverage inthis map series."

It is anticipated that the printingprocess will take between 3 and 5months. The Cammittee estimates thatthe final tope quad will be receivedprior to March 1, 1985. Formalrecognition of the State'saccomplishment is being planned by theGeological SUrvey. Additionalinformation will appear in the JanuaryBulletin.

NHAP II

In the manner of movie sequels, therewill be a National High-Altitude AerialPhotography II program. Begirming inmid-federal fiscal year 1985, the U.S.Geological SUrvey will again begin thetremendous task of obtaining aerialphotography over the entire UnitedStates. The film types and scales willbe the same: black-and-white at1:80,000 and color-infrared at 1:58,000(flying height 40,000 feet). However,there will be two major changes: itwill be leaf-on photography; and it willbe indexed by state units, not 1: 250, 000quadrangles. Rather than stopping righton the state boundary, the index willextend to the edge of the 1: 100, 000 quadcovering the state line.

Starting in April 1985, USGS will flyKansas, Mississippi, Alabama, andTennessee. In FY86 coverage will extendover Michigan, WISCONSIN, SouthCarolina, North Carolina, Arizona, andNevada.

The original 12 federal agencies arepartners in NHAP II also. At currentfunding levels, Wisconsin can expectaerial photography every 6 years. EddieSchwertz at USGS-Mid Contintent MappingCenter can provide more information.Contact him at 314/341-0848.

MILWAUKEE COUNTY COASTAL MAPPING

The Wisconsin Department ofAdministration has agreed to providelocal funding under the National OCeanicand Atmospheric Administration's CoastalManagement Program for the preparationof large-scale topographic mapping of apart of the Lake Michigan coastal areain Milwaukee County. Milwaukee Countyand the City of Milwaukee will providethe required matching local funds. Thismapping effort is designed to prepare 1inch equals 100 feet scale, 2-footcontour interval, topographic maps basedon the Southeastern Wisconsin RegionalPlanning Cormnission-recommendedmonumented control survey neb«>rk, whichrelates the U.S. Public Land SUrveysystem to the State Plane CoordinateSystem. The mapping will be preparedfor b«> areas totaling one and one-halfsquare miles in extent. One areaextends from E. College Avenue on thesouth to E. Lunham Avenue on the north.The second area extends fran E. NorthAvenue on the south to E. ECIgew:x>dAvenue on the north. This effort willresult in the recovery, monumentation,and placement on the State PlaneCoordinate System of 13 U.S. Public LandSUrvey section and quarter sectioncorners. SEWRPC is the recipient of thefederal grant and is administering theprogram.

The large-scale topographic mapping willimprove coastal management by providinga plarming and management tool to enablelocal, regional, and state units andagencies of goverrnnent to betterdetermine shoreline erosion andaccretion rates; ordinary high-waterlevels; specific flood and shorelineerosion hazard zones; and the location,design, and construction constraints ofshoreline protection structures. Inaddition, the large-scale topographicmaps will assist local, state, andfederal agencies of government inregulating and enforcing existingordinances and laws pertaining tocoastal uses, and in carrying out publicworks engineering efforts.

Wisconsin Maooina Bulletin

Upon completion of this mapping effort~large-scale topographic mapping willhave been prepared for 47 linear milesof Lake Michigan coastline extendingfrom the Wisconsin-Illinois State lineon the south to the northern limits ofthe City of Milwaukee on the north.This represents about 58 percent of the81 linear miles of Lake Michigancoastline wi thin the SEWRPC region.

GEORGE WASHINGTONWAS A FLAT EARTHER?J

According to Charles K. Johnson ofLancaster, California, the world isflat. The president of theInternational Flat Earth ResearchSociety believes the earth is a flatdisc floating on the primordial waterswith the North Pole at its center andAntartica around its circumference. Hedoesn't believe in gravity. His sun andmoon (each 32 miles in diameter) circleamOng the tiny planets 3000 miles abovethis flat earth. Heaven is only another1000 miles above the sun.

Johnson claims many historical noteablesas believers, including GeorgeWashington, Franklin D. Roosevelt andJoseph Stalin. Washington because, as ayoung land surveyor, he must have usedtechniques similar to those used byflat-earth experimenters; Roosevelt andStalin because they helped found theUnited Nations, whose emblem Johnsonsays was lifted from the flat-earth mapof the world.

It's ironic that Johnson's ranch is lessthan 6 miles from Edwards Air ForceBase, where the Shuttles landed.

OR LESS CLOUD COVER

In the July 1983 Bulletin, Art Ziegler briefly discussed the proposed AutomatedCartographic System of the State Cartographer I s Office. The ACS is based onthe use of a desk-top micro computer, an IBM pc XT. After many unforeseendelays, all components of the system finally came together this late summer andwe are gaining experience in producing map type graphics. Shown at the topof this article is one of our first efforts, depicting Landsat 4 Thematic Mappercoverage over northeast Wisconsin. The original was plotted in 5 colors, howeverfor printing we plotted in black only.

It is plarmed that through the winter months we will iron out the few remaining"bugs" in the system and. by early spring be in full production. One of thefirst plarmed efforts will be the revised edition of the WINNEBAGO CountyCartographic catalog which is nearlyout-af-print. The ACS will eventuallygreatI y increase our catalog production rate.

If you are in the Madison area and. ~ld like to view our mirco computer system,feel free to contact us and we can arrange a demonstration. The ACS is locatedin Room 155 of Science Hall.

A complete description of the total ACS is planned for publication in theJanuary 1985 Bulletin.

WHEN YOU NEED A MAPSenator Barry Goldwater, R-Arizona,wanted to put up a set of pull-down mapson the wall of the IntelligenceConnnittee room. But Goldwater, chainnanof the cornmittee, was told by theCapitol architeet that he could notdrill through the sandstone walls there.

Goldwater came in with his home drill,told the guards they could arrest him ifthey wanted, and drilled the holeshimself.

A spokesman for the intelligence panel,Sam Bouchard, confirmed the story. "Themap is there," he said. "sen. Goldwatereliminated a lot of red tape by doing ithimself. "

SAY-LAKE RPC

During 1984, the Bay-Lake RegionalPlanning Commission completed its twelfthyear of operation. The Bay-Lake RPC wasestablished by Governor Lucey in April1972 at the request of seven countyboards within the region. In December1973, Florence County joined theCommission bringing the total number ofmember counties to eight.

The Commission is composed of threerepresentatives from each of the Bay-Lake counties. Some of theCommissioners are locally electadofficials, and others are privatecitizens that are actively involved incorranunity affairs. The Commissionersare appointed by their county boards andthe Governor upon the advice of thecounty boards.

The Commission is authorized by statelaw to levy a tax up to .003 percentapportioned by equalized real propertyvaluation among the member counties.The Bay-Lake Commission has chosen toutilize only a .001 percent levy forlocal appropriation.

In 1973, the Commission adopted fiveoperating principles under which allCommission work programs are developed.These principles are:

To assist local government.

To influence state, regional, andfederal plans and programs whichreflect the best interests of the Bay­Lake region.

To prepare comprehensive plans of theregion.

To provide technical information aboutthe region for use by public andprivate agencies.

To encourage citizen 'Participation inthe planning process.

Wi~r.nn~in M;:lnninn RlIlIAtin

The Bay-Lake Region is comprised of 8counties, 16 cities, 37 villages, 123towns, and the Oneida IndianReservation, for a total of 185 localunits of government.

The total area of the region is 5,433square miles or 9.7 percent of the areaof the State of Wisconsin. The regionhas over 400 miles of coastal shorelinealong Lake Michigan and Green Bay, andthere are 12 major watershed areaswithin the region which drain into thewaters of Green Bay and Lake Michigan.The 1980 Census shows the region 'spopulation to be 476, 134 persons orapproximately 10 percent of thepopulation of the State of Wisconsin.

ROCK COUNTY MONUMENT SEARCH

Travelers along Newville Road in thetown of Milton on September 10th mighthave wondered if the Rock County PublicWorks Department was looking forskeletons or buried treasure in digginga large hole in the center of the road.

Instead of patching asphalt or wideningthe road as they do routinely, employeeswere hannnering a hole in the road insearch of a cut limestone marker set inthe 1870s by County Surveyor EdwardRuger.

!'he quarter corner marker establ ishedproperty lines. Making sure of ~ tsexact location is part of a surveyprogram of the towns being conducted by

Wisconsin Maonlno Bulletin 7

the county surveyor under the directionof the Planning and DevelopnentCommittee. The idea is to make sure theold survey, done a century ago, isaccurate.

A backhoe was used to tear off theasphalt surface of a four-foot sectionof Newville Road. The marker, slightlydamaged due to earlier roadconstruction, was found only about threefeet away from the spot calculated byCounty SUrveyor Don Barnes, about a footand a half under the road I s surface.

"It was a few teet off from where we .thought it was." Barnes said, leaningon a shovel. "Sometimes measurements

(continued next page)(') r»+1"\ h """.. '1n 0 .AI

ROCK COUNTY, continued

have been off by as much as 10 or 15feet."

Planning Connnittee Chainnan Ken Johnsonof Beloit helped Barnes dig away some ofthe clay from around the marker.Johnson said he'll keep a broken sectionof the marker for a souvenir.

A new marker was set on top of the oldone later in the afternoon. When thehole is permanently repaired, the newmarker will be visible on the surface ofthe road.

This excavation was the last done forthe town of Mil ton. Next, the surveyorwill review the town of Harnlony'ssurvey.

Several roads cover markers in RockCounty, Barnes said, because the markerswere an easy way to define the right-of­way to earIy landowners, and the markedareas were conveniently given up asright-of-way.

The excavation and repairing the hole inthe road and an earlier excavation willcost the county about $660, according toPublic Works Director Chuck Hubbard.

NE WISCONSIN CARTOGRAPHIC CONFERENCE

(see July 1984 Bulletin, page 2)

On October 17, 1984 the State cartographer held the first of a continuing seriesof regional cartographic conferences. Art Ziegler went to Antigo, WI where theOW-Extension agent hosted the conference in the county courthouse. The initialinvitation was to eleven northeast Wisconsin counties, three state agencydistrict offices and one regional planning office. A total of 16 individualsattended the conference, representing eight counties, one district office andthe regional planning office.

The day-long presentation covered a wide range of topics including: current u.S.Geological SUrvey mapping plans and programs, the Wisconsin "family of maps"proposal, county topographic maps, map products of the Wisconsin GeologicalSUrvey, publications of the State Cartographer's Office, the Dane County LandRecords Projects and automated mapping using a micro computer. An hour sessionwas devoted to answering questions from the participants.

,The State Cartographer's Office considers the first regional briefing a successand is planning four more in an attempt to touch all 72 counties in two years.Comments from readers of the Bulletin are invited regarding this regionalconference program.

The State Cartographer's Office wishes to express its appreciation to LangladeCounty for the use of their facilities and to Joe Jopek, U.W. Extension ResourceAgent in Langlade County for his invaluable assistance.

EAU CLAIRE COUNTY REMONUMENTATION PROGRAM

'1.._ _ Eau Claire County RemonumentationProgram has been an attempt tosystematically recover and monument thesection corners set in the originalrectangular survey of what is now EauClaire County.

The original· survey was conducted in thelate 1840's to the early 1850's. Inyears that followed, the positions ofmany of the original corners Tt.Tere lostdue to the actions of nature, time andhuman settlement.

However, some of the original cornersTt.Tere perpetuated with various types ofmonuments by interested land owners andprivate and county surveyors. Sometimescorner restorations Tt.Tere placed on filein the courthouse records, other timesknowledge of them was passed along byword of mouth or simply forgotten.

Since 1980 the remonumentation program.J- 'beenoperated on a contractualL ...is, where the County has solicitedproposals from qualified surveyingfirms.

In 1982 the County received acompetitive bid from four firmsoperating in the County, headed by AyresAssociations, wi th Real Land Surveying,Inc., Loken & Associates, and Dittloff,Inc. acting as subcontractors. Thisarrangement worked out particularly Tt.Tellfor several reasons. First, localfirms have a good knowledge ofhistorical surveying and landdevelopnent in the County. Second,their prOXimity to the project areasenables them to work more economicallyand simplifies project administration.Finally, the surveyors now setting thesecorners will be the ones ultimatelyworking with them, which assures propercare is taken when establishing theirpositions.

Many pieces of evidence must be gatheredand analyzed before a corner can beproper1y established. Old surveyrecords and deed descriptions,improvements on the land such as fences,tree lines and roads, testimony ofresidents, and measurements to existingcorners are all considered when settingcorners.

EAU CLAIRE, continued

After all the survey measurements havebeen made, old corners have beensearched for, and all the evidence hasbeen considered, determinations are madeas to the position of the reestablishedcorner. An aluminum survey monument isset at the restored or reestablishedposition and is referenced to bearingtrees or witness monuments.

The newly monumented corner positionsare tied into a statewide grid calledthe state plane coordinate system inwhich mathematical values are calculatedfor each corner. This enables accurateretracement should the monument be lostor destroyed in the future.

Section surranary sheets and monumentrecord documents are then filed in theCounty SUrveyor's office. The sectionsununary sheets show the dimensions ofthe section and list the witness ties.The monument record sheets document howand why the corner was reestablished.

Once a new monument is set it must bechecked periodically to ensure it is notlost or destroyed and that the witnessties are intact. Maintenance should bedone on 20% of the corners each year.This way a corner will be visited onceevery five years and damaged ordestroyed monuments and witness ties canbe replaced.

Since 1980 Eau Claire COUnty'scommitment to this important project hascontinued to bring them closer to theirultimate goal of restoring 100% of therectangular survey system corners. Ifthey are able to continue on schedule,monumentation will be completed in 1985,and state plane coordinates will beobtained on corners set prior to 1980 bythe end of 1987.

The rectangular land survey system isthe foundation of land ownership,accurate assessment and real estatetaxation and orderly and logical landdevelopment.

WHAT'S IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT?

.MAPS, OF COURSE

So, where do they put the gloves? Theysure aren I t in the glove compartment.That's already filled with maps,insurance fonns and broken pens.

A recent survey of motorists found theright side of the car dashboard - whichcomes with a lock but never is locked -

holds just about everything exceptgloves, despite being listed in all automanuals as a "glove compartment."

"When asked what they keep in theirglove compartment, nobody answered,gloves' ", report the editors ofRunzheimer On Cars &: Living Costs, aquarterly newsletter published by themanagement consulting firm of Runzheimerand Co. Inc. in Rochester, Wis.

Half the motorists reported haVing mapswhere the gloves should be - or used tobe - according to Runzheimer.

In the early days of the automobile,when motorists dressed like labtechnicians in goggles, dusters and biggloves for their drives along the dusty,open road, the glove compartment did,indeed, do what it was designed to do:provide a storage area for gloves andother driving gear.

Still later, as more and more women tookto the road, some in white gloves, theglove compartment continued to live upto its billing.

But in more recent years, as drivingbecame less adventurous and morecomfortable and motorists stoppeddressing up especially for the occasion(and women in particular stopped wearinggloves), the contents began changing.

In addition to maps, according toRunzheimer, 31 percent of the motoristsin the survey said they keep insuranceand auto registration cards there.Other items included: sunglasses, 23percent; pads of paper, 14 percent;tissues, 13 percent, and cassette tapes,11 percent.

The Runzheimer newsletter suggests inconclusion: "Perhaps it should becalled the miscellany box."

COASTAL ENERGY IMPACT PROGRAM IN NE WISCONSIN

.'ing 1983 the Bay-Lake RegionalPlanning Corranission undertook ahazardous materials and environmentalareas computer mapping project throughthe Wisconsin Coastal Zone ManagementProgram, Coastal Energy Impact Program(CEIP) .

Upon approval of the CEIP grant, theConnnission developed graphics for theHazardous Material Spill ContingencyPlan, being prepared by the U.S. CoastGuard and Wisconsin Department ofNatural Resources. It was determinedthat the agencies \«lU.ld list theinformation necessary for the plan andto establish a priority location listwithin the region.

Each of the 13 areas that had adesignation of priority area wasthoroughly inventoried for allinformation available to the Bay-Lakestaff. Every item was symbolized and;"T'1peared the same on all of the maps.

~ computer system had three colorcapabilities which added to simplifyingthe map legend.

The Bay-Lake staff mapped all of thedata and information gathered during thegrant period onto 1" = 800' aerialphotographs. The format \«lU.ld delineateboth environmental sensitive areas andhazardous material handling areas. Theaerial photography mapping was thengiven to the University of Wisconsin­Green Bay Cartography Lab for digitizingand production of computer maps.

Having access to the University ofWisconsin-Green Bay CartographicLab:lratory I s computer mappingfacili ties, the Connnission decided theadvantages of computerizing included:(1) rapid transferability via telephonemodem, (2) rapid map production, and (3)simple map alterations.

'J'be computer maps were printed at a'ale of 1:24,000) however, the scale can

ce adjusted to any size wi thin thecapability of the computer. If desired,a printout of a specific site within a

HIGHEST POINT MORRISON leA PRESIDENT

Dan Dillon of Prentice High Schoolkindly informed us that the highestpoint given in the puzzle inside theJuly mailing cover is incorrect. TinunsHill in Price County is 1,951.5 feet,11.5 feet taller than the puzzle listed.

Tinnns Hill has other problems. The U.S.Geological SUrvey spells it Timms whilethe Wisconsin Dept. of Transportationspells it Tim's. It's also been spelledTirmn's. Tom Carlsen of the D.D.T.reports that on future highway maps itwill be spelled Timm's. It would havebeen simpler if Pearson Hill right nextdoor had been just 0.8 feet higher.

Former ~Madison professor, Dr. Joel L.Morrison, was elected President of theInternational Cartographic Association(ICA) on August 13, 1984. The electionwas held during the 7th General Assemblyand 12th International Conference of theICA in Perth, western Australia, August4 to 13, 1984.

WETLANDS MAPPING

The Association of State wetlandsManagers held its inaugural meetingSept. 18-21, 1984 in Gainesville,Florida. This professional organizationwas formed to fill an informationalexchange and inventory need in buildingstate wetland management capabilities.The aim is to form an effective federal,state and local partnership. Thispartnership, through the Association,will seek to address programcoordination, oversight, technicalassistance, education, monitoring,regulations, acquisitions, tax

incentives and other approaches.

One of the standing conunittees of the~ is one on mapping. This conunitteewill look at the various state,regional, and local wetlands mappingefforts and technical aspects.
