The Eulalia plate. Relief from Copernicus GLO-30; rivers and lakes from USGS NHD; watersheds from the USGS Watershed Boundary Dataset; roads and city limits from Census TIGER 2024.
75° on Nov. 11, 2020, the hottest reading for this week of the year since 1948. Next is 68° in 2012.
Eulalia’s center stands about 2,020 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 1,580 ft to 2,400 ft, a difference of 820 ft: hilly country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Sweden Hill, about 2,580 ft, 10 miles east-northeast.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Huntley Mountain Formation (sandstone, siltstone), from the Devonian to Carboniferous, 324 to 422 million years old.
The section below crosses 2 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 16×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Sandstone, siltstone, shale. Age: Late Devonian, 359 to 384 million years old. About 15 mi of the line.
Sandstone, siltstone. Age: Devonian to Carboniferous, 324 to 422 million years old. About 10 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Eulalia reaches the Gulf of America by way of the Allegheny, the Ohio and the Mississippi: about 2,260 river miles.
Lake on the way: Allegheny Reservoir.
970 miles of the trip are on the Ohio.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Eulalia; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Eulalia has a warm-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 80° in July; winter nights fall to about 14° in January. A normal year brings about 55 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 43 inches of water.
