Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace’s center stands about 50 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 0 ft to 90 ft, a difference of 90 ft: gently rolling country. Open water lies within three miles.
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 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, clay. Age: Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 10 mi of the line.
Sand. Age: Late Pliocene, 2.6 to 3.6 million years old. About 9 mi of the line.
Sand. Age: Holocene, less than 12,000 years old. About 0.3 mi of the line.
