Plot location: 0.27 km NW of the summit of Rappahannock Mountain.
Rock Types Present: large metabasalt outcrops and debris.
This plot represents mature forest vegetation on a very rocky, north-facing slope. A small greenstone outcrop is located at the upslope edge of the plot, and five trees in the 73 to 100 cm dbh range occur within the boundary. The Watery Mountains' only known specimens for Acer pensylvanicum occur here.
