The observed latitude from 56 sets of observations is 46° 14' 53.91" 
± 0.11". 
To obtain the geodetic positions adopted, add to the above 1.57" 
for latitude and 2.13" for longitude. 
A meridian mark was set 2,377 feet south of pier on the section 
line, 213.4 feet east of corner between sees. 31, 36, 25, and 30, T. ON., 
R. 20 W. 
The Bitterroot Base was measured with 300-foot steel tape along 
the Hamilton branch of the Northern Pacific Railway. 
The resulting length, when reduced to sea level and corrected for 
temperature and inclination, is 8,582.835 meters. 
Connection was made with post No. 373 on the international bound- 
ary and with a station of the Missouri River Commission (see Hilger 
station below). 
Azimuths were obtained by observations on Polaris near elongation 
at following stations: Hamilton (astronomic station), Helena West 
Base, Monture, Carey, and Durham. 
MONTURE, DEER LODGE COUNTY. 
A high, sharp peak on southern end of an approximately north-and- 
south ridge between two streams flowing into South Fork of Flathead 
River. The westernmost branch of Monture Creek heads immedi- 
ately south of station. Peak is about 12 miles north from Wood worth 
post-office and 20 miles northwest of Ovando post-office. The best 
approach is from Woodworth via trail up East Fork of Shanley (or 
Cottonwood) Creek, across east-and-west ridge to headwaters of Mon- 
ture Creek, through pass southeast of station. Animals were taken 
to summit. Good camps at lakes on high shelf east of station. 
Station mark: An aluminum bolt set in a bowlder weighing several 
tons.
