Lakeshore Resort’s center stands about 980 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 740 ft to 1,030 ft, a difference of 290 ft: rolling country.
The section below crosses 3 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 44×. 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, shale. Age: Ordovician, 445 to 487 million years old. About 14 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Lakeshore Resort reaches the Gulf of America by way of Brookville Lake, the East Fork Whitewater, the Whitewater, the Great Miami, the Ohio and the Mississippi: about 1,500 river miles.
Lake on the way: Brookville Lake.
970 miles of the trip are on the Mississippi.
