Eighty years of vegetation and Eighty years of vegetation and landscape changes in the Northern Great Plains : a photographic record eightyyearsofveg45klem Year: 2001 Rumford, South Dakota Location Fall River Co., SD; Sec. 6, R. 54 W., T. 36 N. GPS-UTM 4775673 N. 606085 E. About 8 miles north-northwest of Ardmore. From Ardmore, South Dakota, travel north about 6 miles on South Dakota Highway 71, then turn left (northwest) for 2 miles on South Dakota Highway 471 (County Road 52). Photopoint is from road near a gravel parking area that replaced a railroad switching yard. Description September 21, 1999 Between Fence and Road Grasses. Agropyron cristatum, Setaria spp., Bromus inermis Forbs. Helianthus annuiis Fence to Drainage Grasses. Agropyron cristatum, Agropyron smithii Shrubs. Sarcobatus vermiculatus Trees. Populus deltoides Synopsis Current herbaceous vegetation is dominated by Agropyron cristatum. This is a shift from a dominance of Agropyron smithii in 1927 (seeded?) and possibly Koeleria pyramidata in 1960, although close examination of the 1960 photo suggests the dominant species was still Agropyron smithii. Both the size and density of Populus deltoides trees growing along the drainage have increased considerably since 1927. 59
