    Chapter 3:Affected Environment Chapter 3: Affected Environment 3.1 Introduction Chapter 3 provides an overview of Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge and the resources it pro- vides in terms of habitat, wildlife and people. 3.2 Physical Environment 3.2.1 Physiography The physiography of the northern and southern portions of the Refuge is quite different. The terrain of the northern portion of the Refuge is character- ized by low relief, broad valleys, and relatively well- developed drainage systems while the southern por- tion of the Refuge is uplands with narrow ridges dis- sected by deep, narrow valleys with steep slopes and numerous sandstone outcrops. The northern portion of the Refuge is covered with a heterogeneous mixture of rock fragments ranging in size from clay to boulders deposited by glaciers on bedrock. Generally the slopes in the area are less than 3 percent. The southern portion of the Refuge is part of a continuous ridge extending from Prairie restoration, Crab Orchard NWR Battery Rock on the Ohio River to Horseshoe Bluff overlooking the Mississippi River. The hills are highly dissected uplands with little flat land and 3.2.2 Geology nearly all of the area has steep slopes, most in The bedrock underlying the Refuge is of Pennsyl- excess of 10 percent slope. vanian age. In the northern part of the Refuge, the The Refuge's elevation ranges from less than 380 bedrock is covered by a thin layer of glacial till of feet above mean sea level at Crab Orchard Creek in Illinoian age. During the Wisconsin glacial age, the Jackson County to over 740 feet at the southeast weathered Illinoian glacial till was covered by the corner of the Refuge in Union County.

  • A Survey of Southern Illinois Aquatic Vascular Plants
    262 P. J. SANJEEVA RAJ Vol. 61 A SURVEY OP SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AQUATIC VASCULAR PLANTS ROBERT H. MOHLENBROCK, GARY E. DILLARD, AND THOMAS S. ABNEY Southern Illinois University, Carbondale This study is a floristics survey of the aquatic habitats and aquatic vascular plants in southern Illinois (See fig. 1). After a discussion of aquatic situations there is appended a check-list of aquatic vascular plants from southern Illinois. The southern tip of Illinois forms a wedge-shaped area bounded by the Mississippi River to the west and the Ohio River to the east. The mainland is traversed by a number of rivers and streams, the most notable of which are the Cache and Big Muddy Rivers. Numerous man-made and natural lakes and ponds occur, the largest being concentrated in the Williamson County area. Limestone sinks are common in a few areas. Swamps and swampy woods are frequent in the extreme southern tip of Illinois, and these harbor plants which are rare or absent in other parts of the state. In addition, a few other less important aquatic habitats may be found. The study, begun by the senior author several years ago, was intensified during the summer of 1959 with the aid of a National Science Foundation Undergraduate Research Participation grant* in which the two junior authors participated. *Grant G-8385, National Science Foundation. THE OHIO JOURNAL OF SCIENCE 61(5): 262, September, 1961.

Each trip is an all-day excursion through one or more Illinois counties. Frequent stops are made to explore interesting phenomena, explain the processes that shape our environ- ment, discuss principles of earth science, and collect rocks and fossils. People of all ages and in- terests are welcome. The trips are especially helpful to teachers who prepare earth science units.
