Triangulation on the Coast of Texas, From Sabine Pass, to Corpus Christi Bay (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
A detailed, data-driven view of Texas coast surveying and the geodetic framework that ties charts to one standard reference.
This book presents the history and methods behind a vast triangulation network, linking observations from 1850 to the early 20th century to a single, country‑spanning datum. It emphasizes practical value for engineers and geographers who need precise positions, azimuths, and distances tied to a consistent frame of reference.
- Learn how triangulation along the Texas coast was developed, adjusted, and connected to national and international datums.
- See how the United States Standard Datum (later known as the North American Datum) and the Clarke spheroid of 1866 underpin geographic positions and chart coordination.
- Understand the importance of consistent datums for accurate latitudes, longitudes, and azimuths across surveys and maps.
- Discover how underground marks and surface features are used to recover historical stations and maintain a coherent coastal network.
