Barnesdale’s center stands about 230 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 90 ft to 1,950 ft, a difference of 1,860 ft: steep hill country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Rogers Peak, about 3,700 ft, 15 miles east.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Alluvial deposits (sand, gravel, silt), from the Holocene, less than 12,000 years old.
The section below crosses 3 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 6×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Basalt. Age: Middle Eocene to Late Eocene, 34 to 48 million years old. About 12 mi of the line.
Mudstone. Age: Middle Eocene to Late Eocene, 34 to 48 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Sand, gravel, silt. Age: Holocene, less than 12,000 years old. About 0.5 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale.
Heights from Copernicus GLO-90 (a surface model: it includes buildings and tree canopy); summits from USGS GNIS; rivers from USGS NHDPlus HR; rock from the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation.
A raindrop that lands in Barnesdale reaches the Pacific Ocean by way of Foley Creek and the Nehalem: about 19 river miles.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Barnesdale; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
