Field or Prairie on the Red Shale Hills Site of the Rolling Red Plains

Photograph of a field of varying topography on the red shale of the Rolling Red Plains. The back of the photograph proclaims, "The red shale hills site of the Rolling Red Plains is a complex of very shallow soils on the hilltops and steep slopes, shallow soils on the gentler slopes, and deep colluvial soils in the narrow draws. The climax vegetation of the shallow and very shallow soils is mixed prairie."
