AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Flint Creek about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the southern Plains three days ago, and over the Ozarks a day ago, about 630 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. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.

THE GROUND

What Flint Creek stands on

Flint Creek’s center stands about 1,150 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 840 ft to 1,220 ft, a difference of 380 ft: rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Mission Mountain, about 1,430 ft, 13 miles southeast.

Under the town center the state geologic map shows Keokuk and Reeds Spring Formations and St. Joe Group (chert, limestone), from the Carboniferous, 324 to 359 million years old.

The section below crosses 3 rock units mapped at the surface.

THE WATER

Where Flint Creek’s rain goes

A raindrop that lands in Flint Creek reaches the Gulf of America by way of Flint Creek, the Illinois, the Arkansas and the Mississippi: about 1,060 river miles.

FROM THE CENTER OF FLINT CREEK ≈ 1,060 mi to the Gulf of America Flint Creek → Illinois → Arkansas → Mississippi
