AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Talbotton about 5,000 feet above the ground was over Alabama and Mississippi three days ago, and over the Appalachians a day ago, about 610 miles back along its path. Most of the nine paths traced from around the city agree. Near the ground the air came from the Appalachians; at 10,000 feet, from the northern Rockies. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.

THE GROUND

What Talbotton stands on

Talbotton’s center stands about 710 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 570 ft to 800 ft, a difference of 230 ft: rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Rockhouse Mountain, about 1,090 ft, 14 miles north.

Under the town center the state geologic map shows Biotite Gneiss (biotite-gneiss), from the Precambrian to Paleozoic.

The section below crosses 9 rock units mapped at the surface.
