AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Sheyenne about 5,000 feet above the ground was over British Columbia three days ago, and over the northern Plains a day ago, about 1,680 miles back along its path. Near the ground the air came from British Columbia; at 10,000 feet, from the Pacific north of Hawaii. It has stayed over land, which is why it feels dry. 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 Sheyenne stands on

Sheyenne’s center stands about 1,480 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 1,410 ft to 1,660 ft, a difference of 250 ft: rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Sullys Hill, about 1,760 ft, 13 miles north-northeast.

Under the town center the state geologic map shows Pierre Formation (shale), from the Late Cretaceous, 66 to 100 million years old.

THE WATER

Where Sheyenne’s rain goes

A raindrop that lands in Sheyenne reaches Hudson Bay by way of the Sheyenne, the Red River of the North and the Nelson: about 1,520 river miles. Past the border it runs north through Canada to Hudson Bay.

THE WAY DOWN, TO SCALE
Sheyenne≈ 1,520 mi · Hudson Bay
FROM THE CENTER OF SHEYENNE ≈ 1,520 mi to Hudson Bay Sheyenne → Red River of the North → Nelson

450 miles of the trip are on the Sheyenne.

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