Observation Narrative ? Relatively small, forested depression in an otherwise upland silvicultural landscape. Most of the depression has savanna-like vegetation dominated by an open stand of Nyssa biflora, Liquidambar styraciflua, and a few Quercus phellos. Saccharum baldwinii is the principal herbaceous species.
