Landscape Narrative	Cobble bar and river to the east. Managed fields to west. Part of large natural floodplain complex on Bevan Bend. See plots MORG.16,17,19,20 for more context.;Large silver maple stand with flotsam and bare soil, probably flooded every 1-3 years. Stand is along bend in Potomac River. Paw paw are generally leaning downstream. These are large trees in a good quality example of CEGL006217 silver maple floodplain forest. This is one of the nicest silver maple floodplain forests I have observed in WV (BPS).
