Corinne’s center stands about 1,890 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 1,440 ft to 2,510 ft, a difference of 1,070 ft: steep hill country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Huff Knob, about 3,560 ft, 14 miles east.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Pocahontas Formation (sandstone), from the Carboniferous, 299 to 324 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 9×. 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: Carboniferous, 299 to 324 million years old. About 19 mi of the line.
Sandstone. Age: Carboniferous, 299 to 324 million years old. About 4 mi of the line.
Sandstone, shale. Age: Carboniferous, 324 to 359 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Corinne reaches the Gulf of America by way of the Guyandotte, the Ohio and the Mississippi: about 1,800 river miles.
970 miles of the trip are on the Mississippi.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Corinne; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Corinne has a humid subtropical climate. Summer afternoons average 85° in July; winter nights fall to about 22° in January. About 49 inches of rain fall in a normal year.
On November 14 Corinne normally reaches 57° and falls to 31°. The record high is 81°, in 1993; the record low 13°, in 2019. The most rain on this date, 0.75 in, fell in 2008.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1940 at Mullens 3 E, 2 miles east-northeast, 330 ft lower. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
