COASTAL SURVEY MAPS
On
February 10, 1807 President Thomas Jefferson signed a bill creating
the United States Coast Survey. The new agency was responsible for
conducting detailed surveys of the young nation’s coastal areas
and producing charts based on this work. Its creation followed a
realization of the urgent need to ensure the safety of mariners,
ships, and cargoes by supplying information about the shoals, reefs,
and navigational hazards among which they moved while carrying the
nation’s commerce. Because of this concern for maritime trade, the
Survey was established under Albert Gallatin, Secretary of Commerce,
who in turn selected a young Swiss engineer, Ferdinand Hassler,
then employed as a mathematics teacher at West Point, to head the
new agency. As the U.S. Coast survey was delayed by the war and
by difficulties in obtaining adequate surveying instruments, actual
surveying of the coasts did not get underway until 1816, when Hassler
began his work on the New York triangulation network. This selection
was to have a profound effect on the course of the Survey's work.
Hassler
was a perfectionist who envisioned the division of the Survey's
work into three branches-geodetic, hydrographic, and topographic,
of which the geodetic was most important. Geodesy is the science
concerned with the measurement and description of the size and shape
of the earth, and includes large-scale surveys for determining positions
and elevations of points for which the size and shape of the earth
must be taken into account. The original conception of the Survey
was much less ambitious and did not include geodetic work, but Hassler
rightly saw that the Survey's work would prove truly useful and
would stand the test of time only if its detailed triangulation
could be attached to a firm framework of geodetically determined
points. This insistence caused lengthy delays in the work of the
Survey and endless political problems with a Congress bent on more
immediate, less precise results, but it ultimately was the basis
for the extremely accurate maps and charts the Survey produced.
By
the time of Hassler's death in 1843 the foundation for the survey
of the coast had been laid and the detailed surveys of the ports
and harbors were begun at New York. Hassler was succeeded by Alexander
Dallas Bache, a great grandson of Benjamin Franklin and grandson
of Alexander Dallas, Madison's Secretary of the Treasury. Bache's
academic and intellectual credentials were impeccable, and he followed
Hassler's plan faithfully, adapting it to fit the needs of the expanding
United States. The addition of Texas, California, Oregon, and Washington
to the nation at the close of the Mexican War nearly doubled the
length of coastline under the Survey's charge, and Bache pursued
the extended surveying and charting operations with vigor and scientific
rigor.
The
work of the Coast Survey not only resulted in the most accurate
charts possible of the coastal waters of the nation, ensuring the
safety and the reliability of maritime traffic, it also pioneered
the modem techniques and equipment utilized by later surveys in
the interior. Moreover, it provided the precise geodetic framework
on which these later surveys were based. The work of the U.S. Geological
Survey, the various state surveys, and even the surveys of the Army's
Topographical Corps were thus to some extent grounded in the work
of the Coast Survey. Even more important, the early creation of
the Coast Survey embodied a recognition on the part of the federal
government of a new responsibility, that of developing and disseminating
maps and charts to promote the safety and welfare of the people.
It is therefore in the political as well as technical and scientific
groundwork of the Coast Survey that the later progress of other
government surveyors is founded. Thus, in more ways than one, the
country became known from the coastline inward.

Caution
Improved Channels- The side limits of the improvement are shown by broken lines. The controlling depth through the channel, on the date given, is placed in or alongside the channel, or in a seperate note, but no depth greater than the project depth is given. Because of possible shoaling, particularly at the edges, it must not be inferred that the depth stated exsisted throughout the entire width of the improvement on the date of the examination unless so stated, or that it has not since decreased in places across the entire width.
Warning:
Aids to navigation may be altered, interrupted or removed without notice. In general, temporary changes due to war conditions are not incorporated on the chart.
