Weinert’s center stands about 1,530 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 1,490 ft to 1,550 ft, a difference of 60 ft: gently rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Seymour Formation (conglomerate), from the Pleistocene, less than 2.6 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 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.
Conglomerate. Age: Pleistocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 16 mi of the line.
Claystone. Age: Permian, 252 to 299 million years old. About 8 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 Weinert reaches the Gulf of America by way of Lake Creek and the Brazos: about 900 river miles.
Lakes on the way: Possum Kingdom Lake and Lake Granbury.
550 miles of the trip are on the Brazos.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Weinert; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
