V. MASTER LIST OF NATURAL AREAS 



The following eighty-six color pages consist of a computer print- 

 out of key information on all 232 areas considered in this survey, listed 

 in order of ecological importance. There is of course no hard-and-fast 

 necessity for the particular placement of each area in the list, especially 

 for the areas which received equal numerical ratings . Therefore the reader 

 should view this list with a certain fluidity, remembering that the ranks 

 may change with improvement in data or insight. The list is separated on 

 page 73, with primary areas recommended for preservation above and second- 

 ary areas recommended for consideration below. Note that some areas in 

 the secondary section deserve special attention and should therefore be 

 considered for preservation with the primary group. These seven areas are: 



Helen Creek Hemlock Preserve; Calvert Co., Maryland; p73 



Chisel Run Bog; James City Co. , Virginia; p74 



King Creek - Kingston Landing; Talbot Co., Maryland; p76 



Blinkhorn Creek; Dorchester Co., Maryland; pp87 & 88 



Round Bay Bog; Anne Arundel Co., Maryland; p91 



Andover Branch; Queen Anne Co., Maryland; plOl 



Hemlock Stand on Mill Creek; Caroline Co., Maryland; pl02 



When searching for areas with high priority, consult the first part 

 of the master list. When searching for areas within a particular county, 

 consult the Index on page 119. Areas themselves can be found in the 

 Alphabetical Index on page 130. To find the map location of an area, 

 consult the U.S. Geological Survey 7.5 minute series topographic maps 

 named under "Quadrangle" in the master list.
