Garibaldi’s center stands about 40 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 0 ft to 1,510 ft, a difference of 1,510 ft: steep hill country. Open water lies within three miles. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Triangulation Point, about 3,250 ft, 14 miles east-northeast.
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 8×. 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 6 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Garibaldi reaches Tillamook Bay and the Pacific Ocean by way of the Miami and Tillamook Bay: about 2 river miles.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Garibaldi; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
