Lost Bridge Village’s center stands about 1,230 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 1,110 ft to 1,710 ft, a difference of 600 ft: hilly country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Whitney Mountain, about 1,820 ft, 1 miles north.
The section below crosses 6 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 30×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Limestone. Age: Carboniferous, 324 to 359 million years old. About 12 mi of the line.
Limestone. Age: Carboniferous, 324 to 359 million years old. About 4 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Lost Bridge Village reaches the Gulf of America by way of Beaver Lake, the White River and the Mississippi: about 1,210 river miles.
Lakes on the way: Table Rock Lake and Beaver Lake.
620 miles of the trip are on the Mississippi.
