Patton Village’s center stands about 4,110 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 3,990 ft to 4,190 ft, a difference of 200 ft: gently rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is State Line Peak, about 7,970 ft, 12 miles southeast.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Quaternary sand deposits, unit 2 (inland), from the Quaternary, less than 2.6 million years old.
The section below crosses 4 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 6×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Coarse-detrital. Age: Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 15 mi of the line.
Granodiorite. Age: Permian to Tertiary, 2.6 to 260 million years old. About 4 mi of the line.
Sand. Age: Quaternary, less than 2.6 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Andesite, basalt. Age: Late Oligocene to Pleistocene, 2 to 24 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale.
Heights from Copernicus GLO-90 (a surface model: it includes buildings and tree canopy); summits from USGS GNIS; rivers from USGS NHDPlus HR; rock from the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation.
Rain that falls on Patton Village runs straight into Honey Lake. Honey Lake has no outlet to the sea: the water leaves only by evaporating or soaking into the ground.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Patton Village; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
