I thought it was just another preserve, but now I think it may be connected to a sinkhole/depression from the past. It doesn't appear to have significant elevation change, but the circular shape just doesn't make sense for a typical preserve.
The flags might indicate a protected species underground.. Gopher Tortoise? They flag their burrows on golf courses.
