39° on Nov. 16, 1995, the coldest reading for this week of the year since 1941. Next is 40° in 1962.
Pahokee’s center stands about 20 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 10 ft to 30 ft, a difference of 20 ft: nearly flat ground.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Shelly sediments of Plio-Pleistocene age (sand, limestone), from the Late Pliocene to Pleistocene, less than 3.6 million years old.
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, limestone. Age: Late Pliocene to Pleistocene, less than 3.6 million years old. About 24 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale.
