ANOKA, LAKE M1NNET0NKA, AND LAKE SARAH QUADRANGLES. 
The following geographic positions were determined by primary 
traverse by Mr. George T. Hawkins, topographer. Starting from 
United States Coast and Geodetic Survey astronomic station in the 
grounds of the University of Minnesota, at Minneapolis, a spur line 
was run in 1899 along the main line of the Northern Pacific Railway 
to Itasca station, and another spur line along the main line of the 
Canadian Pacific Railway to Ham el station. In 1904 circuits were 
completed by continuing these lines around the borders of the Lake 
Sarah and Minnetonka quadrangles.
