Lincoln Heights’s center stands about 1,310 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 1,130 ft to 1,390 ft, a difference of 260 ft: rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Maxville Limestone; Rushville, Logan, and Cuyhoga Formations, Undivided (shale, siltstone, sandstone), from the Devonian to Carboniferous, 324 to 422 million years old.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 40×. 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, siltstone, sandstone. Age: Devonian to Carboniferous, 324 to 422 million years old. About 24 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Lincoln Heights reaches the Gulf of America by way of the Rocky Fork, the Black Fork Mohican, the Mohican, the Walhonding, the Muskingum, the Ohio and the Mississippi: about 1,960 river miles.
970 miles of the trip are on the Mississippi.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Lincoln Heights; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Lincoln Heights has a hot-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 83° in July; winter nights fall to about 19° in January. A normal year brings about 49 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 42 inches of water.
On November 14 Lincoln Heights normally reaches 50° and falls to 34°. The record high is 71°, in 1971; the record low 11°, in 1986. The most rain on this date, 3.11 in, fell in 1993.
