Landscape Narrative	USFS boundary is just downslope. Valley bottom is private. Campground is across draw and ridge. Camp Run is damned below camp to form small reservior.;Hot, dry shale slope with exposed, eroding regolith and no soil development. Vegetation is a severly stunted woodland with Virginia pine and rock oak. Sparse shrub and herb cover. Largest trees are drought-killed snags.
