| Landscape Narrative |
USFS land within hearing distance of hiway and gravel road. Over hill to NW is simialr forest, but a bit more mesic, with red oak and tulip tree over rhododendron.;Gentle slope near head of drainage on acidic shale geology. Warmer slopes (NW-S-SE) support forests dominated by oaks over evergreen heaths. This stand is dominated by chestnut oak and white oak with red maple and black gum in the subcanopy. Openings without rhododendron have high cover of white cushion moss. There is lots of rotted wood of various stages, but not so much more recent downfall.

| Representativeness |
Smaller patch of oak / rhododendron, same type as MONF.595, but younger, gentler slope, less rhododendron, more mt. laurel. Compare to plots at Gauley etc...
