Field Photo - What do you see?

I would like some help with plant identifications. I was driving on I74 west between Cincinnati and Indianapolis and took this picture. The variety of plants really surprised me. If you just list names, I'll Google and figure out what is what.

What I think I see (but this is just a small fractions of the plants in this picture)...

Butterflyweed --- Asclepias tuberosa

Rattlesnake Master --- Eryngium yuccifolium

Wild Bergamont --- Monarda fistulosa

Prairie Dock --- Silphium terebinthinaceum

So what are the "black-eyed susan" type flowers? Is that Silphium of some sort growing in the lower left? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Hopefully this post will end up in the Meadows & Prairies Forum... It's been a long time since I posted.
