Carrsville’s center stands about 380 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 310 ft to 650 ft, a difference of 340 ft: rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Williams Hill, about 1,100 ft, 14 miles north-northwest.
The section below crosses 8 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 39×. 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. Age: Carboniferous, 324 to 359 million years old. About 5 mi of the line.
Limestone, sandstone. Age: Carboniferous, 324 to 359 million years old. About 5 mi of the line.
Limestone, sandstone, shale. Age: Middle Mississippian, 331 to 347 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Limestone, sandstone, shale. Age: Late Mississippian, 324 to 331 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Sandstone. Age: Carboniferous, 299 to 324 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Shale, sandstone. Age: Early Pennsylvanian to Middle Pennsylvanian, 307 to 324 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale. 2 smaller units along the line are not listed.
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 Carrsville reaches the Gulf of America by way of Buck Creek, the Ohio and the Mississippi: about 1,060 river miles.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Carrsville; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Carrsville has a humid subtropical climate. Summer afternoons average 88° in July; winter nights fall to about 25° in January. A normal year brings about 7 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 50 inches of water.
On November 14 Carrsville normally reaches 58° and falls to 38°. The record high is 75°, in 2025; the record low 9°, in 1986. The most rain on this date, 1.01 in, fell in 1957.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1941 at Dixon Springs Agric Cntr, 16 miles west, 150 ft higher. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
