American geodesist (1868–1925)
John Fillmore Hayford (May 19, 1868 – March 10, 1925) was an eminent United States
geodesist . His work involved the study of
isostasy and the construction of a
reference ellipsoid for approximating the
figure of the Earth . Hayford was elected to the United States
National Academy of Sciences in 1911 and the
American Philosophical Society in 1915.

Hayford on the far side of the
Moon is named after him.
[3] Mount Hayford, a 1,871 m mountain peak near Metlakatla, Alaska, United States, is named after him.
