Lublin’s center stands about 1,290 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 1,220 ft to 1,370 ft, a difference of 150 ft: gently rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Mafic to felsic metavolcanic rocks, from the Paleoproterozoic, 1.6 to 2.5 billion years old.
The section below crosses 3 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 39×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Metavolcanic. Age: Paleoproterozoic, 1.6 to 2.5 billion years old. About 19 mi of the line.
Sandstone. Age: Cambrian, 487 to 542 million years old. About 4 mi of the line.
Gneiss. Age: Mesoarchean to Neoarchean, 2.5 to 2.9 billion years old. About 2 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 Lublin reaches the Gulf of America by way of the North Fork Eau Claire, Whippoorwill Creek, the Eau Claire, the Chippewa and the Mississippi: about 1,880 river miles.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Lublin; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Lublin has a warm-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 79° in July; winter nights fall to about 2° in January. A normal year brings about 51 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 34 inches of water.
On November 14 Lublin normally reaches 40° and falls to 24°. The record high is 66°, in 1999; the record low −4°, in 1986. The most rain on this date, 0.48 in, fell in 1951.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1946 at Owen 1 E, 12 miles southeast. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
