New Hebron’s center stands about 410 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 330 ft to 530 ft, a difference of 200 ft: gently rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Pascagoula and Hattiesburg formation (clay, sand), from the Miocene, 5.3 to 23 million years old.
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 48×. 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, gravel. Age: Pliocene to Pleistocene, less than 5.3 million years old. About 12 mi of the line.
Clay, sand. Age: Miocene, 5.3 to 23 million years old. About 12 mi of the line.
Sand. Age: Miocene, 5.3 to 23 million years old. About 0.3 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 New Hebron reaches the Gulf of America by way of West Prong Silver Creek, Silver Creek and the Pearl: about 220 river miles.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of New Hebron; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
