14° on Nov. 17, 1996, the coldest reading for this week of the year since 1991. Next is 20° in 1995.
Cherry Hill Mall’s center stands about 50 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 10 ft to 100 ft, a difference of 90 ft: gently rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Georges Hill, about 250 ft, 12 miles west-northwest.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Woodbury Formation (clay, silt), from the Late Cretaceous, 72 to 84 million years old.
The section below crosses 6 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.

A raindrop that lands in Cherry Hill Mall reaches Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean by way of South Branch Pennsauken Creek, Pennsauken Creek and the Delaware: about 80 river miles.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Cherry Hill Mall; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
