0° on Nov. 17, 1959, the coldest reading for this week of the year since 1950. Next is 3° in 1986.
Mishicot’s center stands about 610 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 600 ft to 710 ft, a difference of 110 ft: gently rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Cherneyville Hill, about 1,020 ft, 14 miles north-northwest.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Silurian, undivided (dolostone), from the Silurian, 422 to 445 million years old.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 57×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Dolostone. Age: Silurian, 422 to 445 million years old. About 19 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 Mishicot reaches Lake Michigan by way of the East Twin: about 12 river miles. From there it moves on through the Great Lakes, over Niagara Falls and down the St. Lawrence to the Atlantic.
Often dry. About 30% of the way is mapped as streams that run only after rain or snowmelt; the water makes the whole trip in floods.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Mishicot; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Mishicot has a warm-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 76° in July; winter nights fall to about 12° in January. A normal year brings about 46 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 32 inches of water.
On November 14 Mishicot normally reaches 44° and falls to 30°. The record high is 68°, in 1958; the record low 13°, in 2018. The most rain on this date, 1.35 in, fell in 1957.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1950 at Two Rivers, 8 miles south-southeast. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
