Yorkville’s center stands about 370 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 300 ft to 400 ft, a difference of 100 ft: gently rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Loess (silt), from the Quaternary, less than 2.6 million years old.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 64×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Silt. Age: Quaternary, less than 2.6 million years old. About 24 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale.
