Seymour’s center stands about 800 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 770 ft to 900 ft, a difference of 130 ft: gently rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Prairie du Chien Group (dolostone), from the Early Ordovician, 471 to 487 million 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 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.
Dolostone. Age: Ordovician, 445 to 487 million years old. About 11 mi of the line.
Dolostone. Age: Early Ordovician, 471 to 487 million years old. About 8 mi of the line.
Sandstone. Age: Ordovician, 445 to 487 million years old. About 5 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Seymour reaches Lake Michigan by way of Black Creek, the Shioc, the Wolf River and the Fox River: about 160 river miles. From there it moves on through the Great Lakes, over Niagara Falls and down the St. Lawrence to the Atlantic.
Lakes on the way: Lake Winnebago 6124, Lake Winneconne and Lake Butte des Morts.
55 miles of the trip are on the Wolf River.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Seymour; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Seymour has a warm-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 81° in July; winter nights fall to about 11° in January. A normal year brings about 56 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 32 inches of water.
On November 14 Seymour normally reaches 44° and falls to 30°. The record high is 65°, in 1958; the record low 3°, in 1916. The most rain on this date, 0.95 in, fell in 1956.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1886 from the Green Bay Area threaded record (Green Bay A S International Airport, 10 miles east-southeast, 120 ft lower). NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
