POLK COUNTY. 
DES MOINES SPECIAL QUADRANGLE. 
The following geographic positions were determined from primary 
traverse in 1904 by Mr. J. R. Ellis, topographic aid. The line starts 
from north meridian stone in court-house yard at Des Moines, located 
by astronomic observations by the United States Coast and Geodetic 
Survey, and follows the Chicago Great Western Railway southwest 
to Orillia; thence north along public highways to northwest corner of 
quadrangle; thence east to Enterprise. The line follows Des Moines, 
Iowa Falls and Northern Railway for about three miles; thence runs 
south along public highways to Levey; thence northwest along Chi- 
cago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway to Des Moines, connecting with 
original position.
