Weston Mills’s center stands about 1,460 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 1,410 ft to 2,170 ft, a difference of 760 ft: hilly country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Hartzfelt Mountain, about 2,430 ft, 6 miles southwest.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Conneaut Group, undivided (shale, sandstone), from the Late Devonian, 359 to 384 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 19×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Shale, sandstone. Age: Late Devonian, 359 to 384 million years old. About 13 mi of the line.
Shale. Age: Late Devonian, 359 to 384 million years old. About 11 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Weston Mills reaches the Gulf of America by way of Haskell Creek, the Allegheny, the Ohio and the Mississippi: about 2,210 river miles.
Lake on the way: Allegheny Reservoir.
970 miles of the trip are on the Ohio.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Weston Mills; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Weston Mills has a warm-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 80° in July; winter nights fall to about 13° in January. A normal year brings about 65 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 41 inches of water.
