Gopher Farm sandhill
Gopher Farm sandhill is a sand formation in southwestern Wayne County, Mississippi. It lies in the DeSoto National Forest and is tended by a staff of rangers. The sandy soil, largely mapped as Wadley series, harbors a population of gopher tortoises. Forested areas are dominated by longleaf pine and turkey oak.[1][failed verification][2]
