30° on Nov. 17, 1958, the coldest reading for this week of the year since 1876. Next is 33° in 1964.
Orange Grove Mobile Manor’s center stands about 180 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 100 ft to 200 ft, a difference of 100 ft: gently rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Avi Kwalal, about 840 ft, 11 miles north-northwest.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Quaternary surficial deposits, undivided (sand, silt, clay), from the Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2 million years old.
The section below crosses 2 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 64×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Sand, silt, clay. Age: Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2 million years old. About 13 mi of the line.
Sand, gravel. Age: Holocene, less than 10,000 years old. About 7 mi of the line.
