AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Greasewood about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the central Plains three days ago, and over Texas a day ago, about 970 miles back along its path. Most of the nine paths traced from around the city agree. It came down from about 11,500 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. It has stayed over land, which is why it feels dry. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.

THE GROUND

What Greasewood stands on

Greasewood’s center stands about 6,030 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 5,850 ft to 6,160 ft, a difference of 310 ft: rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Turning Hill, about 6,520 ft, 8 miles east-southeast.

Under the town center the state geologic map shows Pliocene to middle Miocene deposits (conglomerate, sandstone), from the Early Miocene to Pleistocene, 2 to 16 million years old.

The section below crosses 2 rock units mapped at the surface.

Rock at the surface along the line

Pliocene to middle Miocene deposits

Conglomerate, sandstone. Age: Early Miocene to Pleistocene, 2 to 16 million years old. About 19 mi of the line.

Pliocene to late Miocene basaltic rocks

Basalt. Age: Late Miocene to Early Pliocene, 4 to 8 million years old. About 5 mi of the line.

From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale.

THE WATER

Where Greasewood’s rain goes

A raindrop that lands in Greasewood reaches the Gulf of California by way of Pueblo Colorado Wash, Cottonwood Wash, the Little Colorado and the Colorado: about 980 river miles.

THE WAY DOWN, TO SCALE
Greasewood≈ 980 mi · the Gulf of California
FROM THE CENTER OF GREASEWOOD ≈ 980 mi to the Gulf of California Pueblo Colorado Wash → Cottonwood Wash → Little Colorado → Colorado

Lakes on the way: Lake Mead, Lake Mohave and Lake Havasu.

290 miles of the trip are on the Colorado.

Often dry. About 30% of the way is mapped as streams that run only after rain or snowmelt; the water makes the whole trip in floods.

Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Greasewood; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
