Raymer (New Raymer)’s center stands about 4,780 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 4,660 ft to 4,820 ft, a difference of 160 ft: gently rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows White River Fm or Group (sandstone, claystone), from the Oligocene, 23 to 34 million years old.
The section below crosses 5 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 36×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Sandstone, claystone. Age: Oligocene, 23 to 34 million years old. About 16 mi of the line.
Sand, silt. Age: Quaternary, less than 2.6 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Sandstone. Age: Late Cretaceous, 66 to 100 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.
Shale, claystone, sandstone. Age: Late Cretaceous, 66 to 100 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.
Shale. Age: Late Cretaceous, 66 to 100 million years old. About 0.8 mi of the line.
