75° on Nov. 16, 1928, the hottest reading for this week of the year since 1880. Next is 75° in 1993.
Barryville’s center stands about 750 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 560 ft to 1,340 ft, a difference of 780 ft: hilly country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Big Hill, about 1,750 ft, 14 miles west-southwest.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Upper Walton Formation (shale, sandstone, conglomerate), from the Late Devonian, 359 to 384 million years old.
The section below crosses 8 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 21×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Sandstone, shale. Age: Late Devonian, 359 to 384 million years old. About 8 mi of the line.
Sandstone, siltstone, mudstone. Age: Late Devonian, 359 to 384 million years old. About 8 mi of the line.
Shale, sandstone, conglomerate. Age: Late Devonian, 359 to 384 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Shale, sandstone, conglomerate. Age: Late Devonian, 359 to 384 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.
Sandstone. Age: Late Devonian, 359 to 384 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.
Siltstone, shale. Age: Late Devonian, 359 to 384 million years old. About 1 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale. 2 smaller units along the line are not listed.

A raindrop that lands in Barryville reaches Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean by way of the Delaware: about 240 river miles.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Barryville; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Barryville has a hot-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 84° in July; winter nights fall to about 16° in January. A normal year brings about 43 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 47 inches of water.
On November 14 Barryville normally reaches 50° and falls to 30°. The record high is 71°, in 1989; the record low 12°, in 1905. The most rain on this date, 1.40 in, fell in 1972.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1880 at Port Jervis, 13 miles east-southeast, 170 ft lower. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
