Landscape Narrative ? The slope overlooks the South Branch of the Potomac River and a wide river valley with agricultural fields. The slope is on the lower part of a less-steep small ridge which extends toward the river and is covered by dry virginia pine woodland.;Community is on a short, steep slope with rock outcrops and has been disturbed upslope, so it is patchy across its range.
