Remnant prairie mounds at Razorback Park Golf Course
Remnant prairie mounds at Razorback Park Golf Course. These mounds are also present within the prairie wetlands in the proposed business park area and on the adjoining University Farm. Most were leveled years ago during the time when wheat and corn were grown here. They mostly survive in places that were too wet for efficient farming.

Marsh Habitat
Wet season native marsh habitat associated with prairie mounds and Clabber Creek bottomlands. These small, oval depressions hold water because of dense clay soils typical of prairies in NW Arkansas. These wetlands provide habitat for numerous animals and plants typical of prairies. Most are dry part of the year. Historically, this allowed fires to control vegetation. These habitats occur within the 500-year flood plain and aren't suitable for development.
