Landscape Narrative	Allegany Ballistic Laboratory is off limits for public use. Lightly hunted by employees. Downslope, geology breaks to acidic. Below that floodplain that is cleared and weed infested. Limestone forests repeated on several side ridges.;Warm aspect just off of the nose of a side ridge on limestone lithology. Community is stunted forest of contorted red and chinquapin oaks. There are dead junipers, probably killed by fire long ago, and a few living junipers. Herb layer is dominated by grasses, with high cover in openings.
