The McCutchenville plate. Relief from Copernicus GLO-30; rivers and lakes from USGS NHD; watersheds from the USGS Watershed Boundary Dataset; roads and city limits from Census TIGER 2024.
78° on Nov. 11, 2020, the hottest reading for this week of the year since 1893. Next is 74° in 1893.
McCutchenville’s center stands about 800 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 760 ft to 880 ft, a difference of 120 ft: gently rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Tymochtee and Greenfield Formations, Undivided (dolostone), from the Silurian, 428 to 445 million years old.
The section below crosses 4 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 64×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Dolostone. Age: Silurian, 428 to 445 million years old. About 15 mi of the line.
Limestone. Age: Devonian, 359 to 422 million years old. About 4 mi of the line.
Dolostone. Age: Silurian, 422 to 445 million years old. About 4 mi of the line.
Dolostone. Age: Silurian, 425 to 445 million years old. About 1 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in McCutchenville reaches Lake Erie by way of Thorn Run and the Sandusky: about 60 river miles. From there it moves on through the Great Lakes, over Niagara Falls and down the St. Lawrence to the Atlantic.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of McCutchenville; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
McCutchenville has a hot-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 86° in July; winter nights fall to about 20° in January. A normal year brings about 23 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 38 inches of water.
On November 14 McCutchenville normally reaches 52° and falls to 35°. The record high is 72°, in 1909; the record low 6°, in 2019. The most rain on this date, 1.15 in, fell in 1972.
