AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Hartland about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Mojave Desert three days ago, and over southern California a day ago, about 520 miles back along its path. Most of the nine paths traced from around the city agree. It rose from near the ground on the way. Near the ground the air came from southern California; at 10,000 feet, from the Mojave Desert. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.

THE GROUND

What Hartland stands on

Hartland’s center stands about 4,520 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 2,840 ft to 6,670 ft, a difference of 3,830 ft: mountain country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Mount Silliman, about 11,100 ft, 15 miles east.

Under the town center the state geologic map shows Mesozoic granitic rocks, unit 3 (Sierra Nevada, Death Valley area, Northern Mojave Desert and Transverse Ranges) (granodiorite), from the Permian to Tertiary, 2.6 to 260 million years old.

The section below crosses 3 rock units mapped at the surface.

Plutonic, gneiss. Age: Paleoproterozoic to Late Cretaceous, 66 to 2,500 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.

THE WATER

Where Hartland’s rain goes

A raindrop that lands in Hartland reaches the Tulare Lake basin by way of Eshom Creek, the North Fork Kaweah, the Kaweah, Mill Creek and the Tule: about 95 river miles. The Tulare Lake basin has no outlet to the sea: the water leaves only by evaporating or soaking into the ground.

THE WAY DOWN, TO SCALE
Hartland≈ 95 mi · the Tulare Lake basin
FROM THE CENTER OF HARTLAND ≈ 95 mi to the Tulare Lake basin Eshom Creek → North Fork Kaweah → Kaweah → Mill Creek → Tule

Often dry. About 50% of the way is mapped as streams that run only after rain or snowmelt; the water makes the whole trip in floods.

A lake that comes back. The bed of Tulare Lake is farmland now; in very wet years it floods again.

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