Pensacola Station’s center stands about 30 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 0 ft to 50 ft, a difference of 50 ft: nearly flat ground. Open water lies within three miles.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Beach ridge and dune (sand, clay), from the Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old.
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. Age: Late Pliocene, 2.6 to 3.6 million years old. About 8 mi of the line.
Sand, clay. Age: Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 4 mi of the line.
Sand, clay. Age: Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 1 mi of the line.

Rain that falls on Pensacola Station runs only a short way, about 5 miles, to Pensacola Bay and the Gulf of America.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Pensacola Station; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Pensacola Station has a humid subtropical climate. Summer afternoons average 89° in July; winter nights fall to about 42° in January. About 58 inches of rain fall in a normal year.
