Standing Pine’s center stands about 440 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 360 ft to 530 ft, a difference of 170 ft: gently rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Kosciusko formation (sand, clay), from the Eocene, 34 to 56 million years old.
The section below crosses 2 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 64×. 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, clay. Age: Eocene, 34 to 56 million years old. About 19 mi of the line.
Marl, sand. Age: Eocene, 34 to 56 million years old. About 6 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 Standing Pine reaches the Gulf of America by way of Standing Pine Creek and the Pearl: about 370 river miles.
Lake on the way: Cypress Lake.
310 miles of the trip are on the Pearl.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Standing Pine; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
