72° on Nov. 11, 2022, the hottest reading for this week of the year since 1924. Next is 67° in 2001.
Woodville’s center stands about 820 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 780 ft to 960 ft, a difference of 180 ft: gently rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Maquoketa Formation (shale, dolostone), from the Ordovician, 445 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 38×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Shale, dolostone. Age: Ordovician, 445 to 487 million years old. About 16 mi of the line.
Dolostone. Age: Silurian, 422 to 445 million years old. About 5 mi of the line.
Dolostone. Age: Ordovician, 445 to 487 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale.
Heights from Copernicus GLO-90 (a surface model: it includes buildings and tree canopy); summits from USGS GNIS; rivers from USGS NHDPlus HR; rock from the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation.
A raindrop that lands in Woodville reaches Lake Michigan by way of the Manitowoc: about 50 river miles. From there it moves on through the Great Lakes, over Niagara Falls and down the St. Lawrence to the Atlantic.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Woodville; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Woodville has a warm-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 82° in July; winter nights fall to about 10° in January. A normal year brings about 43 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 32 inches of water.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1924 at Brillion, 6 miles east-southeast. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
