Dakota Limit her where cary abundant stages & Androp. scop. take our dominances (clean line). // An old part town W. of dam, 5% slope, mdo. Large & gently sloping (as if old), up to 5 dogs/A. This area lower, flatter, greener than higher slope where more density. In this old pt., aver.min. spacing burrows (10) 1 1/2 yds. Bgr + Awn about equal, 50% ground bare (paced step loop analysis). // She area up slope where many dogs, Canus filif., Bgr, Bda principally; about 5% folia (Sphenolaceae, Art. frig., Solidago, Eupatorium, Pras. ten); 50% bare. Carex Bgr about = 4 dominant; sennu gives yellowish cast to whole. // 10 medium larkspur a ground in area 2A, as if feeding. // Old pt. town E. of dam (1947, Ceb map) on 5% slope. Mdo. very wide. Some jivers present. Part area now in their Bgr (3% slope); northly Bgr, Awn (Bgr). In part of area much Lappula (only when many cl. ?) (?: Cryptanthus?) Art. grapt., Art. frig. Same mdo 30' across, comprised 1/3 of slope in Bda-Bgr, 4 mds. 1 1/2 thick center (silty loam; mod. gravel; some in?). Sphenolaceae prairie. forb or mds. Same Art. Arist. found on lge. mds., Afr. & Art. grapt. (shot) surrounds are mds. starting 5 yds. from center. Area 50% B. down, northly Bgrs, but Awn more abundant (lower). Some sites. Lge. mds. surrounded Bgr-Bda; surrounding, Awn more dense, & much of it set. (C.L. reduce Awn, favor Bgr-Bda). Awn sola predominates in bottom 2 foot slope. Avr. min. space. burrows 13 1/2 yds. on 5% S.W. slope here, Bgr- Bda about 85% of veg.; Awn 10%; weeds 3%; bare 4 5%. Some Arist. found. // A rocky hillock of 5% slope had much Andro. scop., Art. frig., & Can. filif. prominent. // Next little valley to N. of old colony, +100 yds. E. road, 3 art. dogs/A. This has
