Warren’s center stands about 770 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 670 ft to 2,540 ft, a difference of 1,870 ft: steep hill country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Mount Moosilauke, about 4,790 ft, 8 miles north-northeast.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Bethlehem Granodiorite, from the Early Devonian, 394 to 422 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 5×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Granodiorite. Age: Early Devonian, 394 to 422 million years old. About 15 mi of the line.
Metasedimentary. Age: Early Devonian, 394 to 422 million years old. About 9 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 Warren reaches the Atlantic Ocean by way of the Baker, the Pemigewasset and the Merrimack: about 170 river miles.
120 miles of the trip are on the Merrimack.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Warren; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
