AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Fairland about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the southern Plains three days ago, and over the Ozarks a day ago, about 560 miles back along its path. The nine paths traced from around the city fan out, so treat that as a best guess. Near the ground the air came from Texas; at 10,000 feet, from the northern Rockies. It feels humid. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.

THE GROUND

What Fairland stands on

Fairland’s center stands about 840 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 770 ft to 870 ft, a difference of 100 ft: gently rolling country.

Under the town center the state geologic map shows Pitkin + Fayetteville + Batesville + Hindsville + Moorefield Formations (limestone, shale), from the Carboniferous, 324 to 359 million years old.

The section below crosses 5 rock units mapped at the surface.

THE WATER

Where Fairland’s rain goes

A raindrop that lands in Fairland reaches the Gulf of America by way of Hudson Creek, the Neosho, the Arkansas and the Mississippi: about 1,140 river miles.

THE WAY DOWN, TO SCALE
Fairland≈ 1,140 mi · the Gulf of America
FROM THE CENTER OF FAIRLAND ≈ 1,140 mi to the Gulf of America Hudson Creek → Neosho → Arkansas → Mississippi

Lakes on the way: Murray Lake and Ozark Lake.

600 miles of the trip are on the Mississippi.
