Landscape Narrative	Occurence is on a south-facing shale slope on the side of a low mountain which is somewhat undercut by a bend in Sleepy Creek to the south. The upper slope is a mixed oak-pine woodland, and the top has a small road and small old fields. Across the creek to the south is mixed ash-hickory forest and some old fields.;There are large, bare outcrops of bedrock with nearly the same slope as the rest of the hill. The plants are low trees are growing in patchy clumps.
