24° on Nov. 17, 2014, the coldest reading for this week of the year since 1951. Next is 30° in 2000.
Langlois’s center stands about 60 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 0 ft to 1,210 ft, a difference of 1,210 ft: steep hill country. Open water lies within three miles. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Mount Butler, about 2,860 ft, 15 miles southeast.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Terrace, pediment, and lag gravels (gravel, boulders, clay), from the Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old.
The section below crosses 4 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.
Mudstone, sandstone. Age: Late Jurassic to Late Cretaceous, 66 to 164 million years old. About 7 mi of the line.
Pelitic-schist. Age: Paleozoic to Cretaceous, 66 to 542 million years old. About 4 mi of the line.
Gravel, boulders, clay. Age: Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.
Peridotite, serpentinite. Age: Paleozoic to Jurassic, 145 to 542 million years old. About 0.6 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 Langlois reaches the Pacific Ocean by way of Langlois Creek and the New River: about 7 river miles.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Langlois; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Langlois has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate. Summer afternoons average 70° in August; winter nights fall to about 39° in February. About 70 inches of rain fall in a normal year.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1951 at Langlois #2, here. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
