Potential Natural Landmarks of the Southern Blue Ridge Portion of the Appalachian Ranges Natural Region

摘要

This study is one of a series of 61 which cover the natural regions of the United States, defined largely by Fenneman (1928). Each study describes the ecological and/or geological features characteristic of that region, then evaluates sites representative of the various features. Sites which are outstanding examples are suggested as potential National Natural Landmarks. This report describes 144 areas of primarily ecologic significance throughout the Southern Blue Ridge portion of the Appalachian Ranges in the eastern United States.
