William Bowie Captain, United States Army From a contemporary press report: 28 February 1937 CAPTAIN WILLIAM BOWIE Captain William Bowie retired from active duty on December 31, 1936, after 41-1/2 years of service, during which he won national and international recognition in the science of geodesy and geophysics. His early education was in public schools and private academies and St. Johns College at Annapolis, Maryland, and he later received degrees at Trinity College (B. S., 1893, M. A., 1907, Sc. D., 1919), Lehigh University (C. E., 1895, Sc. D., 1922), and University of Edinburgh, Scotland (LL. D., 1936). Entering the service of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey July 1, 1895, as a field engineer, his assignments included operations in many States of the Union, Alaska, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico. In October 1909 he was appointed inspector of geodetic work and chief of the Computing Division, a title later changed to chief of the Division of Geodesy. He held this position continuously until the time of his retirement. While chief of the Division of Geodesy, triangulation work was increased from 10,000 to 68,000 miles; leveling from 30,000 to 261,000 miles, gravity from 60 to 720 stations; and astronomical Laplace stations from about 32 to 390. Due to his inspiration and guidance many improvements in instruments, equipment, and field and office methods were made. When in 1924 a new method for adjusting a triangulation net was needed because of the vast amount of labor involved in the method then in use, he conceived the idea of the establishment of junction figures and the adjustment of the intervening arcs as separate sections. This method simplified enormously the work of such an adjustment.

Library Map Locations Finding Maps and Atlases Electronic Resources Internet Resources Library Map Locations Atlases, maps, and gazetteers are available in print, microform, and electronic formats in several of the UC Berkeley libraries. The Library's primary collection of maps and other cartographic materials is located in the , 50 McCone Hall. Other campus collections include The Bancroft Library's historical maps of California and western North America and the East Asian Library's historical maps of Japan and gazetteers of East Asia. In addition, the Water Resources Center Archives has an extensive collection of historical and current maps related to water, as well as a collection of coastal aerial photographs dating from the mid-1940's to the mid-1950's. Maps and other cartographic materials at UC Berkeley can be located by searching the library catalogs Finding Maps and Atlases Pathfinder is the catalog used to find maps and other items in most of the UC Berkeley libraries. Melvyl is the catalog of materials available from the libraries of the ten UC campuses and other research collections in the state; it also includes several UC Berkeley affiliated libraries not included in Pathfinder. The best way to find maps or atlases in these library catalogs is to search by "subject keyword" and limit the search by publication format "maps." Cartographic materials such as gazetteers, aerial photographs, and nautical charts can also be searched by "subject keyword." For some examples of subject searches, see
