Landscape Narrative	Adjacent to gravel road CR14/1 on forested summit saddle of South Fork Mountain.;Permenantly flooded summit sinkhole pond adjacent to dirt road. ATV tracks lead into pond and have damaged edge vegetation and caused erosion and muddying of water. Alan Miller has never seen this pond dry up (he is 71 years old). The northern bank of this isolated depression wetland has herbaceous wetland plants. The pond is shaded by overhanging canopy from surrounding oak forest. Alan believes the pond is about 1 m deep. No aquatic vegetation observed.
Representativeness	Smaller of two summit sinkhole ponds on this section of South Fork Mountain. Obs. Point includes 0.04 ha water plus wetland on margin of pond (0-3 m width).
