5° on Nov. 12, 2019, the coldest reading for this week of the year since 1996. Next is 8° in 2014.
Eudora’s center stands about 850 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 770 ft to 910 ft, a difference of 140 ft: gently rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Blue Mound, about 1,060 ft, 5 miles west-southwest.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Lansing Group (shale, limestone), from the Carboniferous, 299 to 324 million years old.
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 50×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Shale, sandstone. Age: Carboniferous, 299 to 324 million years old. About 11 mi of the line.
Sand, silt, clay. Age: Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 7 mi of the line.
Shale, limestone. Age: Carboniferous, 299 to 324 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Sand, silt. Age: Pleistocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 0.9 mi of the line.
Limestone, shale. Age: Carboniferous, 299 to 324 million years old. About 0.8 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale.
Heights from Copernicus GLO-90 (a surface model: it includes buildings and tree canopy); summits from USGS GNIS; rivers from USGS NHDPlus HR; rock from the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation.
A raindrop that lands in Eudora reaches the Gulf of America by way of the Kansas, the Missouri and the Mississippi: about 1,570 river miles.
1,170 miles of the trip are on the Mississippi.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Eudora; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Eudora has a hot-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 91° in July; winter nights fall to about 18° in January. About 36 inches of rain fall in a normal year.
On November 14 Eudora normally reaches 56° and falls to 32°. The record high is 76°, in 2025; the record low 8°, in 2014. The most rain on this date, 0.12 in, fell in 2022.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1996 at Lawrence Asos, 8 miles northwest. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
