Landscape Narrative	Occurence is on a steep shaley cliff-side with rocky outcrops. The slope faces SW and is directly undercut by a turn in the Cacapon River. On the other side of the river is a wooded plain of lowland hardwoods with some fields and vacation homes. The other three sides of the shale slope are the sides and larger upslope of a hardwood-forested mountain.;This is a very steep slope broken by rock outcrops. Some erosion evident.
