MONETT An Advertisement in the TIMES Brings Results MONETT. MISSOURI, FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 1915 NEW BASE MAP OF MISSOURI Map Just Issued by Missouri Bureau of Geology and Mines is Most Accurate Map of This State Ever Printed The Missouri Bureau of Geology and Mines at Rolla has just issued a new base map of Missouri, the data for which were compiled in co-opera-1 tion with the United States Geological Survey. This is by far the most accurate map of Missouri that has ever been printed. In the compilation all precise data of the Mississippi River Commission, Missouri River Commission, United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, and the United States Geological Survey have been used to establish accurate positions, to which the original General Land Office surveys have been tied. The map is 42 by 50 inches and is on a scale of 1 to 500,000 or about 8 miles to the inch, the same scale as is being used by the United States Geological Survey in making a similar map of each state, the whole to be a part of a general scheme embracing maps on this scale by all the civilized nations of the globe.

The drainage is printed in blue and shows the streams in great detail. The railroads have been accurately located from original plats submitted by the various companies. The outlines of the counties are shown in red, the contrast being sufficient to make each county stand out distinctly. The map also shows in red figures the elevations above sea level of all railroad stations on which data could be obtained, and the elevations of all accurate bench marks established throughout the state by different precise level lines. These figures show the comparative elevations of the various parts of the state and form a unique and valuable addition to the map.

The map should prove exceptionally valuable in the teaching of geography in the public schools, a and as a general reference map of the state. This map may be obtained unmounted, by addressing H. A Buehler, State Geologist at Rolla, Mo. The only charge is 15c, the cost of packing and transportation. Similar maps could not be obtained under a cost of several dollars if published by a commercial enterprise.

Maps mounted on cloth and attached to wood rolls may be obtained for'60c.
