Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Much of the water in this preserve appears dark purple-brown, especially in the west and north. In the south-east, the water appears paler in colour, likely due to a combination of exposed and submerged land. Sunglint—the mirror-like reflection of sunlight off the water’s surface—may also lighten the water’s appearance. Drier land, including farmland, varies in colour from green to beige. A patchwork of fields occurs near the Little Blackwater River. A white outline delineates the complicated park boundary, which negotiates a maze of private lands outside the park.
