AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Eden about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Gulf of Alaska three days ago, and over the Canadian Prairies a day ago, about 2,310 miles back along its path. It came down from about 12,200 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. It feels dry all the same. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses and the GFS beyond them, nine paths at each of three heights.

THE GROUND

What Eden stands on

Eden’s center stands about 1,310 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 1,270 ft to 1,360 ft, a difference of 90 ft: gently rolling country.

Under the town center the state geologic map shows Granitoid intrusion (granitic), from the Neoarchean, 2.5 to 2.8 billion years old.

The section below crosses 5 rock units mapped at the surface.

THE WATER

Where Eden’s rain goes

A raindrop that lands in Eden reaches Hudson Bay by way of the Hill, the Lost, the Clearwater, the Red Lake, the Red River of the North and the Nelson: about 1,100 river miles. Past the border it runs north through Canada to Hudson Bay.

THE WAY DOWN, TO SCALE
Eden≈ 1,100 mi · Hudson Bay
FROM THE CENTER OF EDEN ≈ 1,100 mi to Hudson Bay Hill → Lost → Clearwater → Red Lake → Red River of the North → Nelson

Lake on the way: Lake Winnipeg.

400 miles of the trip are on the Nelson.

Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Eden; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
