Thanks to all for your input. I will contact the Arkansas NRCS office (the quail biologist is associated with that office) and see what they have to say. To help clarify what I was trying to say in my previous post. Here is a picture from Google Earth Pro with a circle indicating where the hole is now. The white line headed northeast is where the water flows from the hole underground until it resurfaces just inside the woods. The white line headed southwest is where water is running underground (the length of the line is unknown) from the pasture and becomes visible in the hole. I suspect that the water has been running underground for quite some time and the hole eventually opened up due to erosion underneath the ground to where the soil finally caved in.
Regarding soil geology, we have sandstone here more so than limestone, although I suppose that limestone could be present. I certainly haven't seen any.
Before I talk to the NRCS folks, do you think it would make sense to try to trace the source of the flow of the water from the pasture, or am I chasing a wild goose?
