Itmann’s center stands about 1,480 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 1,400 ft to 2,350 ft, a difference of 950 ft: steep hill country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Bluff Mountain, about 3,550 ft, 12 miles east-southeast.
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 17 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Itmann reaches the Gulf of America by way of the Guyandotte, the Ohio and the Mississippi: about 1,790 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 Itmann; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Itmann 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 Itmann 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, 5 miles east. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
