Eagle Point’s center stands about 970 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 930 ft to 1,140 ft, a difference of 210 ft: rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Baldy Mountain, about 1,380 ft, 13 miles north-northeast.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Cambrian, undivided (sandstone), from the Cambrian, 487 to 542 million years old.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 51×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Sandstone. Age: Cambrian, 487 to 542 million years old. About 24 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale.

A raindrop that lands in Eagle Point reaches the Gulf of America by way of Jim Creek, the Chippewa and the Mississippi: about 1,830 river miles.
Lake on the way: Lake Wissota.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Eagle Point; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Eagle Point has a warm-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 82° in July; winter nights fall to about 3° in January. A normal year brings about 42 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 32 inches of water.
On November 14 Eagle Point normally reaches 41° and falls to 25°. The record high is 67°, in 1999; the record low 1°, in 1976. The most rain on this date, 0.69 in, fell in 2010.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1944 at Bloomer, 6 miles northwest. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
