Between Mount Elizabeth and Fort Pierce, it borders the river, forming a steep high bank, covered with cabbage, palmetto, and other hammock growth. Along the top is a narrow strip of cultivable ground, from which there is a rapid descent, in land, to an open country, covered with fiagponds, savannas, sawgrass, marshes, and palmetto flats, with a few scattered pines.
