AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Ainsworth about 5,000 feet above the ground was over British Columbia three days ago, and over the northern Plains a day ago, about 2,190 miles back along its path. It has stayed over land, which is why it feels dry. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses and the GFS beyond them, nine paths at each of three heights.

THE GROUND

What Ainsworth stands on

Ainsworth’s center stands about 1,550 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 1,510 ft to 1,680 ft, a difference of 170 ft: gently rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Sugarbush Hill, about 1,980 ft, 15 miles northeast.

Under the town center the state geologic map shows Mafic metavolcanic rocks (basalt, basaltic-andesite), from the Paleoproterozoic, 1.6 to 2.5 billion years old.

The section below crosses 4 rock units mapped at the surface.

THE WATER

Where Ainsworth’s rain goes

A raindrop that lands in Ainsworth reaches Lake Michigan by way of Pickerel Creek, the Wolf River and the Fox River: about 260 river miles. From there it moves on through the Great Lakes, over Niagara Falls and down the St. Lawrence to the Atlantic.

THE WAY DOWN, TO SCALE
Ainsworth≈ 260 mi · Lake Michigan
FROM THE CENTER OF AINSWORTH ≈ 260 mi to Lake Michigan and the St. Lawrence Pickerel Creek → Wolf River → Fox River

Lakes on the way: Lake Winnebago 6124, Lake Winneconne and Lake Butte des Morts.

170 miles of the trip are on the Wolf River.

Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Ainsworth; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
