Hutsonville’s center stands about 490 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 430 ft to 560 ft, a difference of 130 ft: gently rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Ladd Hill, about 670 ft, 8 miles east-northeast.
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.

A raindrop that lands in Hutsonville reaches the Gulf of America by way of Big Bayou, the Wabash River Old Channel, the Old Channel Wabash, the Ohio and the Mississippi: about 1,260 river miles.
970 miles of the trip are on the Mississippi.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Hutsonville; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Hutsonville has a hot-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 88° in July; winter nights fall to about 20° in January. About 46 inches of rain fall in a normal year.
On November 14 Hutsonville normally reaches 54° and falls to 34°. The record high is 71°, in 1902; the record low 13°, in 2019. The most rain on this date, 1.00 in, fell in 2024.
