View, from the east, of the Main Grounds at Archbold Biological Station, and of the mosaic of frequently-burned scrubby flatwoods and seasonal ponds, here unseasonably wet, in Tract 7, immediately west of the Main Building. The winding white line, starting across the railroad tracks from the north end of the Main Building, is Jay Trail. Jay Trail is the main pedestrian access to the scrub for visiting day classes and for summer day campers. In the foreground (L-R), flanking the 70,000-gallon water tank, are cottages Lynx, Pine, and Dicerandra. Quercus Cottage is the white-roofed structure at the north edge of the picture. The Main Grounds Weather Station is in the lower right, just east of the vehicle barn.
