Aerial view of Schnabel Woods Natural Area

A rich old-growth forest in rugged river hills in the Missouri River Section of the Ozark Border Natural Division. The deep Menfro soils are derived from loess. Sugar and black maple, basswood, white and red oak, and American elm are common overstory trees. Two intermittent streams cross the area on their way to Perche Creek.
