Glyndon Buffalo River, (grade) Wild Rice River, (grade) Rolette Station Kittson Station , Red Lake River, (grade) Three hundred and forty mile-post Tamarack River, (grade) South Branch, Two Rivers, (grade) Red River bank at Saint Vincent, (opposite Pembina). Four of these tables (II, III, IV, V,) give us the elevations of trans-verse sections almost and in some cases directly along east and westlines, crossing the direction of the leading streams at right angles,enabling us to judge quite correctly in regard to the topography so faras it relates to this direction. From Table VII we learn the descent ofthe Mississippi River from the crossing of the Northern Pacific Eailroadto Saint Paul, and the descent of Red River from the same line northwardto the British line; and by bringing together the elevations on the samemeridian from the different lines mentioned in these tables and from theUnion Pacific and Kansas Pacific lines, we can obtain at least anapproximately correct idea of the topography along north and southlines.
