Rock Type	water
Landscape Narrative	River stretch with uncertain land ownership and easment, opened by default for public recreation including swimming and partying. Many raer plants and communities are found in the riparian zone. Aquatic communities are heavily impacted by poor water quality due to acid mine runoff.;Sandstone bedrock exposure along a high gradient reach of river. Community is flooded by high energy floods which controls woody encroachment. Virginia pine occurrence thought to be related to south exposure on bedrock.
Representativeness	Plot covers entire small patch of prairie on bedrock with battered pine. Big bluestem prairie is repeated in patches for several miles of river, including variants on boulders, cobble, and bedrock.
