The Ozone plate. Relief from Copernicus GLO-30; rivers and lakes from USGS NHD; watersheds from the USGS Watershed Boundary Dataset; roads and city limits from Census TIGER 2024.
Ozone’s center stands about 1,910 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 1,020 ft to 2,000 ft, a difference of 980 ft: steep hill country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Garlands Knob, about 2,380 ft, 7 miles north-northwest.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Atoka Formation, undivided (sandstone, black-shale), from the Carboniferous, 299 to 324 million years old.
The section below crosses 5 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 10×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Sandstone, black-shale. Age: Carboniferous, 299 to 324 million years old. About 19 mi of the line.
Shale, sandstone. Age: Carboniferous, 299 to 324 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.
Shale, sandstone. Age: Carboniferous, 299 to 324 million years old. About 1 mi of the line.
Shale, sandstone. Age: Carboniferous, 299 to 324 million years old. About 1 mi of the line.
Sandstone. Age: Carboniferous, 299 to 324 million years old. About 0.6 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Ozone reaches the Gulf of America by way of Spadra Creek, the Arkansas and the Mississippi: about 870 river miles.
Lake on the way: Murray Lake.
600 miles of the trip are on the Mississippi.
