Maryhill Estates’s center stands about 560 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 400 ft to 620 ft, a difference of 220 ft: rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Spickert Knob, about 970 ft, 12 miles west-northwest.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Sellersburg and Jeffersonville Limestones, undivided, from the Early Devonian to Middle Devonian, 384 to 422 million years old.
The section below crosses 11 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: Silurian, 422 to 445 million years old. About 5 mi of the line.
Limestone. Age: Early Devonian to Middle Devonian, 384 to 422 million years old. About 4 mi of the line.
Dolostone. Age: Ordovician, 445 to 487 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Siltstone. Age: Carboniferous, 324 to 359 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Limestone, dolostone. Age: Devonian, 359 to 422 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Black-shale. Age: Devonian to Carboniferous, 324 to 422 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale. 5 smaller units along the line are not listed.

A raindrop that lands in Maryhill Estates reaches the Gulf of America by way of the Muddy Fork, the Ohio and the Mississippi: about 1,350 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 Maryhill Estates; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Maryhill Estates has a humid subtropical climate. Summer afternoons average 89° in July; winter nights fall to about 28° in January. A normal year brings about 13 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 48 inches of water.
On November 14 Maryhill Estates normally reaches 58° and falls to 40°. The record high is 79°, in 1902; the record low 15°, in 1986. The most rain on this date, 1.44 in, fell in 1929.
