Wild Peach Village’s center stands about 30 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 10 ft to 70 ft, a difference of 60 ft: nearly flat ground.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Alluvium (fine-detrital, coarse-detrital), from the Holocene, less than 12,000 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.
Fine-detrital, coarse-detrital. Age: Holocene, less than 12,000 years old. About 16 mi of the line.
Sand. Age: Pleistocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 8 mi of the line.
