AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Equality 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 2,240 miles back along its path. It came down from about 12,800 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 Equality stands on

Equality’s center stands about 1,180 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 1,150 ft to 1,190 ft, a difference of 40 ft: nearly flat ground.

Under the town center the state geologic map shows Biotite schist of graywacke protolith, and schist-rich migmatite (biotite-schist, migmatite), from the Neoarchean, 2.5 to 2.8 billion years old.

The section below crosses 4 rock units mapped at the surface.

Rock at the surface along the line

Granitoid intrusion

Granitic. Age: Neoarchean, 2.5 to 2.8 billion 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.

THE WATER

Where Equality’s rain goes

A raindrop that lands in Equality reaches Hudson Bay by way of the Clearwater, the Red Lake, the Red River of the North and the Nelson: about 1,090 river miles. Past the border it runs north through Canada to Hudson Bay.

THE WAY DOWN, TO SCALE
Equality≈ 1,090 mi · Hudson Bay
FROM EQUALITY ≈ 1,090 mi to Hudson Bay 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 Equality; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
