Landscape Narrative	The land rises to the east to a bank of the RR where the forest contains Ulmus, Fraxinus, box elder and silver maple.A hay field lies to the north, also at higher ground. There are several Platanus occidentalis trees nearby along the stream as well as several small clumps of Hibiscus moscheutos.;The community is narrow and follows a meandering large stream. The tree cover is sparse and irregular. The herb cover alternates between Commelina virginica and Vernonia gigantea ssp. gigantea with substantial Rudbeckia laciniata in some areas.
