swamp, wetland, National Natural Landmark
This is one of two non-contiguous areas within Arnold Air Force Base that are together designated a National Natural Landmark. This by virtue of their containing an extremely rare virgin swamp forest and a pristine example of an open marsh. Both tracts contain disjunct plant species whose distribution is normally confined to the Atlantic Coastal Plain biophysiographic province.
