AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Cranberry Lake about 5,000 feet above the ground was over Canada three days ago, and over Ontario a day ago, about 2,410 miles back along its path. It has stayed over land, which is why it feels dry. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses and the GFS beyond them, nine paths at each of three heights.

THE GROUND

What Cranberry Lake stands on

Cranberry Lake’s center stands about 1,630 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 1,450 ft to 1,890 ft, a difference of 440 ft: hilly country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Long Tom Mountain, about 2,610 ft, 9 miles east-southeast.

Under the town center the state geologic map shows Biotite and/or hornblende granite gneiss, from the Mesoproterozoic, 1 to 1.6 billion years old.

The section below crosses 4 rock units mapped at the surface.

THE WATER

Where Cranberry Lake’s rain goes

A raindrop that lands in Cranberry Lake reaches the St. Lawrence River by way of Peavine Creek, the Oswegatchie and the Saint Lawrence: about 160 river miles. The St. Lawrence carries it on to the Atlantic.

THE WAY DOWN, TO SCALE
Cranberry Lake≈ 160 mi · the St. Lawrence River
FROM THE CENTER OF CRANBERRY LAKE ≈ 160 mi to the St. Lawrence River Peavine Creek → Oswegatchie → Saint Lawrence

Lake on the way: Lake Saint Lawrence.

110 miles of the trip are on the Oswegatchie.

Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Cranberry Lake; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
