Deanville’s center stands about 370 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 290 ft to 440 ft, a difference of 150 ft: gently rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Cook Mountain Formation (claystone, sandstone), from the Eocene, 34 to 56 million years old.
The section below crosses 9 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 57×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Claystone, sandstone. Age: Eocene, 34 to 56 million years old. About 7 mi of the line.
Claystone, sandstone. Age: Eocene, 34 to 56 million years old. About 5 mi of the line.
Sandstone. Age: Eocene, 34 to 56 million years old. About 5 mi of the line.
Siltstone, sandstone. Age: Middle Eocene, 38 to 48 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.
Sandstone-mudstone. Age: Late Eocene, 34 to 38 million years old. About 1 mi of the line.
Fine-detrital, coarse-detrital. Age: Holocene, less than 12,000 years old. About 1 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale. 3 smaller units along the line are not listed.

A raindrop that lands in Deanville reaches the Gulf of America by way of Dry Creek, East Yegua Creek, Yegua Creek and the Brazos: about 300 river miles.
Lake on the way: Somerville Lake.
250 miles of the trip are on the Brazos.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Deanville; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Deanville has a humid subtropical climate. Summer afternoons average 98° in August; winter nights fall to about 35° in January. About 41 inches of rain fall in a normal year.
On November 14 Deanville normally reaches 73° and falls to 45°. The record high is 89°, in 2005; the record low 19°, in 2018. The most rain on this date, 2.10 in, fell in 1993.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1963 at Somerville Dam, 14 miles east-southeast, 110 ft lower. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
