Webster’s center stands about 110 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 80 ft to 130 ft, a difference of 50 ft: nearly flat ground.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Undifferentiated sediments (sand, clay), from the Pliocene to Pleistocene, less than 5.3 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, clay. Age: Pliocene to Pleistocene, less than 5.3 million years old. About 13 mi of the line.
Limestone. Age: Late Eocene, 34 to 38 million years old. About 10 mi of the line.
Sand. Age: Late Pliocene to Pleistocene, less than 3.6 million years old. About 1 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale.
