The Woodville plate. Relief from Copernicus GLO-30; rivers and lakes from USGS NHD; watersheds from the USGS Watershed Boundary Dataset; roads and city limits from Census TIGER 2024.
22° on Nov. 16, 1940, the coldest reading for this week of the year since 1892. Next is 22° in 1969.
Woodville’s center stands about 50 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 30 ft to 90 ft, a difference of 60 ft: gently rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows St. Marks Formation (limestone), from the Early Miocene, 16 to 23 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 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.
Limestone. Age: Early Miocene, 16 to 23 million years old. About 14 mi of the line.
Sandstone, limestone. Age: Middle Miocene, 12 to 16 million years old. About 5 mi of the line.
Sand, clay. Age: Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Sand, clay. Age: Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 1 mi of the line.
Sand, clay, gravel. Age: Late Pliocene, 2.6 to 3.6 million years old. About 1 mi of the line.

Woodville has a humid subtropical climate. Summer afternoons average 92° in July; winter nights fall to about 40° in January. About 59 inches of rain fall in a normal year.
On November 14 Woodville normally reaches 73° and falls to 48°. The record high is 85°, in 2005; the record low 26°, in 1977. The most rain on this date, 2.99 in, fell in 2008.
