Observation Narrative
This is a resample of Rawinski's plot FHMR005 - generally the same location. See notes from original sample. The position of this swamp on a toe slope well above the level of the stream bottom, and the extensive firm sand substrate, are both unusual among the many seepage swamps at Fort A.P. Hill.
