Landscape Narrative	Upland forests are sterile and oaky. Hemlock across river appear healthy still. Railroad runs uphill behind community. Most areas of riverside have steeper banks, with less riparian vegetation.;Boulder bar along high gradient reach of river, across from exposed bedrock ledges. Site is frequently impacted by high energy floods, which maintains shrubland physiognomy. Community is dominated by battered sycamore and gum, with a high diversity of shrubs and herbs adapted to sun and flood.
Representativeness	Narrow zone of shrubland - prairie~most of small patch on this side of river, additional patches across river and probably more on Tygart.
