18° on Nov. 14, 2019, the coldest reading for this week of the year since 1993. Next is 20° in 1995.
Woodland’s center stands about 130 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 90 ft to 190 ft, a difference of 100 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 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. Age: Middle Miocene, 12 to 14 million years old. About 22 mi of the line.
Clay, sand. Age: Early Miocene, 16 to 23 million years old. About 2 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 Woodland reaches the Atlantic Ocean by way of Reeds Branch, the West Branch Wading, the Wading and the Mullica: about 35 river miles.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Woodland; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Woodland has a hot-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 85° in July; winter nights fall to about 23° in January. A normal year brings about 25 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 46 inches of water.
On November 14 Woodland normally reaches 54° and falls to 34°. The record high is 66°, in 2005; the record low 18°, in 2019. The most rain on this date, 0.85 in, fell in 2008.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1993 at Philadelphia/Mt. Holly Wfo, 20 miles northwest. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
