Landscape Narrative	A small stream with heavy acid mine discoloration runs through the community.;The vegetation is slightly patchy with Polygonum cuspidatum sometimes forming solid patches with little beneath. The Leersia is also occasionally in small patches if there is a break in the dominant herb. The same can be said for the Boehmeria. The tree cover is continuous and all Acer saccharinum.
