Hauser’s center stands about 2,210 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 2,110 ft to 2,810 ft, a difference of 700 ft: hilly country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Mount Spokane, about 5,870 ft, 11 miles north-northwest.
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 5×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Age: Mesoproterozoic, 1 to 1.6 billion years old. About 8 mi of the line.
Granite. Age: Precambrian to Eocene. About 6 mi of the line.
Gravel, sand, silt. Age: Pleistocene, less than 20,000 years old. About 5 mi of the line.
Argillite, siltstone. Age: Mesoproterozoic to Early Cambrian, 521 to 1,600 million years old. About 5 mi of the line.
Age: Paleoproterozoic, 1.9 to 1.9 billion years old. About 0.6 mi of the line.

Hauser has a dry-summer warm-summer continental climate. Summer afternoons average 83° in July; winter nights fall to about 26° in January. About 25 inches of rain fall in a normal year.
On November 14 Hauser normally reaches 45° and falls to 32°. The record high is 63°, in 1999; the record low 0°, in 1955. The most rain on this date, 1.08 in, fell in 1937.
