AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Pumpkin Hollow about 5,000 feet above the ground was over Texas three days ago, and over the Ozarks a day ago, about 860 miles back along its path. Most of the nine paths traced from around the city agree. 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 Pumpkin Hollow stands on

Pumpkin Hollow’s center stands about 1,150 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 730 ft to 1,220 ft, a difference of 490 ft: hilly country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Coon Mountain, about 1,430 ft, 15 miles south-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 4 rock units mapped at the surface.
