Panther’s center stands about 430 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 390 ft to 550 ft, a difference of 160 ft: gently rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Barrett Hill, about 660 ft, 12 miles southeast.
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.
Sand, silt. Age: Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 14 mi of the line.
Siltstone. Age: Carboniferous, 299 to 324 million years old. About 7 mi of the line.
Siltstone. Age: Carboniferous, 299 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.
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 Panther reaches the Gulf of America by way of Long Falls Creek, the Green River, the Ohio and the Mississippi: about 1,240 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 Panther; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
