Navarre’s center stands about 1,340 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 1,230 ft to 1,360 ft, a difference of 130 ft: gently rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Sumner Group (shale), from the Permian, 252 to 299 million years old.
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 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.
Shale. Age: Permian, 252 to 299 million years old. About 20 mi of the line.
Sand, silt, clay. Age: Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 4 mi of the line.
Shale, limestone. Age: Permian, 252 to 299 million years old. About 0.7 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Navarre reaches the Gulf of America by way of Carry Creek, Lyon Creek, the Kansas, the Missouri and the Mississippi: about 1,750 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 Navarre; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Navarre has a humid subtropical climate. Summer afternoons average 94° in July; winter nights fall to about 22° in January. A normal year brings about 12 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 34 inches of water.
On November 14 Navarre normally reaches 58° and falls to 35°. The record high is 77°, in 2025; the record low 6°, in 1959. The most rain on this date, 1.06 in, fell in 1909.
