typical prairie pothole country, shallow and deep marshes dot the undulating 

 terrain. Marsh vegetation consists primarily of sedges, bulrushes, and 

 cordgrasses. The area has long been famous for its waterfowl hunting and cur- 

 rently supports a good population of white-tailed deer, pheasants, and ducks. A 

 more detailed description and evaluation of eligibility for Registered Natural 

 Landmark status has been prepared by Dr. David Holden.

 competing agricultural uses.
