Woodville’s center stands about 640 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 590 ft to 700 ft, a difference of 110 ft: gently rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Lockport Dolomite (dolostone), from the Silurian, 425 to 445 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 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, 425 to 445 million years old. About 23 mi of the line.
Dolostone. Age: Silurian, 428 to 445 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Woodville reaches Lake Erie by way of the Portage: about 25 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 Woodville; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
