COL VIII. Cumberland Turnpike Road. 



Levels on the Cumberland Turnpike Iload were copied from a report made 

 by Jonathan Knight, Chief Engineer of the Baltimore and Ohio R. R., October 

 5th, IS-IS. They were partly taken fi-om a map and profile made by James 

 Schriver, in 1824. Mr. Knight says, in his report, "The levels may be suffi- 

 ciently accurate for such a road (turnpike), yet are not so exact as levelings 

 taken for a canal or railroad." 



Datum: Probably mean tide at Baltimore.
