AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Shevlin 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 2,360 miles back along its path. It came down from about 11,900 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 Shevlin stands on

Shevlin’s center stands about 1,450 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 1,430 ft to 1,540 ft, a difference of 110 ft: gently rolling country.

Under the town center the state geologic map shows Granitic intrusion, from the Neoarchean, 2.5 to 2.8 billion years old.

The section below crosses 2 rock units mapped at the surface.

Rock at the surface along the line

Granitic intrusion

Granitic. Age: Neoarchean, 2.5 to 2.8 billion years old. About 21 mi of the line.

Granitoid intrusion

Granitic. Age: Neoarchean, 2.5 to 2.8 billion years old. About 3 mi of the line.

THE WATER

Where Shevlin’s rain goes: two seas

Shevlin straddles the Laurentian Divide. Rain on the northwest side runs to Hudson Bay; most of the rest goes to the Gulf of America.

From the center of town, a raindrop reaches the Gulf of America by way of the Mississippi: about 2,300 river miles. One that lands on the northwest side reaches Hudson Bay by way of the Clearwater, the Red Lake, the Red River of the North and the Nelson: about 1,160 river miles. Past the border it runs north through Canada to Hudson Bay.

Shevlin≈ 2,300 mi · the Gulf of America
FROM THE NORTHWEST SIDE, TO SCALE
Shevlin≈ 1,160 mi · Hudson Bay
FROM THE CENTER OF SHEVLIN ≈ 2,300 mi to the Gulf of America Mississippi
NORTHWEST SIDE ≈ 1,160 mi to Hudson Bay Clearwater → Red Lake → Red River of the North → Nelson

Lakes on the way: Sugar Lake, Buck Lake, Lake Pepin and Lake Bemidji.

1,750 miles of the trip are on the Mississippi.
