BATON ROUGE QUADRANGLE. 
The following geographic positions were determined by primary 
traverse in November, 1905, by C. B. Kendall, held assistant. 
The line starts at Baton Rouge and runs northeasterly via high- 
ways to Comite post-office, thence southerly via Foreman, Hope- 
villa, and Dutchtown to Geismar, on the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley 
Railroad, thence northwesterly along said railroad to St. Gabriel.
