Lozano’s center stands about 30 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 10 ft to 40 ft, a difference of 30 ft: nearly flat ground.
The section below crosses 7 rock units mapped at the surface.
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.
