Agenda’s center stands about 1,640 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 1,550 ft to 1,720 ft, a difference of 170 ft: gently rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Menominee Group; Blair Creek Formation (basalt), from the Paleoproterozoic, 1.6 to 2.5 billion years old.
The section below crosses 5 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.
Gneiss, amphibolite. Age: Neoarchean, 2.5 to 2.8 billion years old. About 9 mi of the line.
Biotite-schist. Age: Paleoproterozoic, 1.8 to 1.9 billion years old. About 8 mi of the line.
Basalt. Age: Paleoproterozoic, 1.6 to 2.5 billion years old. About 5 mi of the line.
Gneiss, amphibolite. Age: Paleoarchean, 3.2 to 3.6 billion years old. About 2 mi of the line.
Granodiorite, granite. Age: Mesoarchean to Neoarchean, 2.6 to 2.9 billion 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.
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 Agenda reaches the Gulf of America by way of Butternut Creek, the Flambeau, the Chippewa and the Mississippi: about 1,960 river miles.
Lakes on the way: Lake Wissota and Holcombe Flowage.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Agenda; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Agenda has a warm-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 78° in July; winter nights fall to about 2° in January. About 34 inches of rain fall in a normal year.
On November 14 Agenda normally reaches 38° and falls to 23°. The record high is 64°, in 1999; the record low 0°, in 2018. The most rain on this date, 1.10 in, fell in 2005.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1992 at Park Falls Dnr Headquarters, 11 miles south-southwest, 120 ft lower. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
