6° on Nov. 17, 1959, the coldest reading for this week of the year since 1893. Next is 6° in 2019.
North Baltimore’s center stands about 730 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 700 ft to 760 ft, a difference of 60 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.
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 24 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale.

A raindrop that lands in North Baltimore reaches Lake Erie by way of the Middle Branch Portage and the Portage: 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 North Baltimore; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
