Stones Landing’s center stands about 5,120 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 5,090 ft to 5,960 ft, a difference of 870 ft: hilly country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Fredonyer Peak, about 7,920 ft, 7 miles east-southeast.
The section below crosses 3 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 9×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Andesite, basalt. Age: Late Oligocene to Pleistocene, 2 to 24 million years old. About 14 mi of the line.
Andesite, basalt. Age: Late Pliocene to Pleistocene, less than 3.6 million years old. About 6 mi of the line.
Andesite. Age: Late Oligocene to Pleistocene, 2 to 24 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Stones Landing reaches Honey Lake by way of Eagle Lake, Willow Creek and the Susan: about 50 river miles. Honey Lake has no outlet to the sea: the water leaves only by evaporating or soaking into the ground.
Lake on the way: Eagle Lake.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Stones Landing; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
