AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Culloden about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Mississippi Valley three days ago, and over the Appalachians a day ago, about 620 miles back along its path. Near the ground the air came from the Appalachians; at 10,000 feet, from the northern Rockies. It feels humid. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.

THE GROUND

What Culloden stands on

Culloden’s center stands about 690 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 530 ft to 730 ft, a difference of 200 ft: rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Hog Mountain, about 1,020 ft, 14 miles north-northwest.

Under the town center the state geologic map shows Mica Schist/ Gneiss/ Amphibolite (gneiss, mica-schist, amphibolite), from the Precambrian to Paleozoic.

The section below crosses 4 rock units mapped at the surface.

THE WATER

Where Culloden’s rain goes: two seas

Culloden straddles the Eastern Continental Divide. Rain on the east side runs to the Atlantic Ocean; most of the rest goes to the Gulf of America.

From the center of town, a raindrop reaches the Gulf of America by way of Auchumpkee Creek, the Flint and the Apalachicola: about 360 river miles. One that lands on the east side reaches the Atlantic Ocean by way of Tanyard Creek, Echeconnee Creek, the Ocmulgee and the Altamaha: about 350 river miles.

FROM THE CITY CENTER, TO SCALE
Culloden≈ 360 mi · the Gulf of America
FROM THE EAST SIDE, TO SCALE
Culloden≈ 350 mi · the Atlantic Ocean
FROM THE CENTER OF CULLODEN ≈ 360 mi to the Gulf of America Auchumpkee Creek → Flint → Apalachicola
EAST SIDE ≈ 350 mi to the Atlantic Ocean Tanyard Creek → Echeconnee Creek → Ocmulgee → Altamaha

230 miles of the trip are on the Flint.

Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Culloden; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
