−2° on Nov. 17, 1959, the coldest reading for this week of the year since 1896. Next is 2° in 1911.
Naubinway’s center stands about 610 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 570 ft to 750 ft, a difference of 180 ft: gently rolling country.
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 49×. 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, 428 to 445 million years old. About 4 mi of the line.
Dolostone, limestone. Age: Silurian, 422 to 445 million years old. About 4 mi of the line.

Rain that falls on Naubinway runs straight into Lake Michigan. From there it moves on through the Great Lakes, over Niagara Falls and down the St. Lawrence to the Atlantic.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Naubinway; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Naubinway has a warm-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 77° in July; winter nights fall to about 10° in January. About 34 inches of rain fall in a normal year.
On November 14 Naubinway normally reaches 40° and falls to 28°. The record high is 63°, in 1958; the record low 7°, in 1896. The most rain on this date, 1.14 in, fell in 1957.
