Crestwood Village’s center stands about 150 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 70 ft to 200 ft, a difference of 130 ft: gently rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Cohansey Formation (sand), from the Middle Miocene, 12 to 14 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 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. Age: Middle Miocene, 12 to 14 million years old. About 20 mi of the line.
Clay, sand. Age: Early Miocene, 16 to 23 million years old. About 4 mi of the line.
Sand. Age: Middle Paleocene, 59 to 62 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 Crestwood Village reaches the Atlantic Ocean by way of Michaels Run, Wrangle Brook and the Toms: about 16 river miles.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Crestwood Village; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
