Logan Elm Village’s center stands about 700 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 640 ft to 860 ft, a difference of 220 ft: rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Rocky Knob, about 1,330 ft, 14 miles south.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Ohio Shale (shale, black-shale), from the Devonian, 359 to 422 million years old.
The section below crosses 6 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 35×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.

A raindrop that lands in Logan Elm Village reaches the Gulf of America by way of Scippo Creek, the Scioto, the Ohio and the Mississippi: about 1,680 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 Logan Elm Village; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Logan Elm Village has a hot-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 86° in July; winter nights fall to about 23° in January. A normal year brings about 15 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 41 inches of water.
On November 14 Logan Elm Village normally reaches 55° and falls to 35°. The record high is 76°, in 1909; the record low 12°, in 2019. The most rain on this date, 1.31 in, fell in 1972.
