South of Flagler this area is unique to the eastern plains because of the small amount of square miles, roughly 361, which is 95% private. Small herds of antelope, mule deer and whitetails are near crops and along creek bottoms from Interstate 70 south of US 40.

Trophy quality mule deer, whitetails and antelope are fewer here than in neighboring units.

South Fork of the Republican River in the north and Wild Horse Creek in the south frame a flat prairie dotted with dryland farms and rolling hills.

Shortgrass prairie covers most of the land until tilled dryland farms take over sections of land. Sagebrush, Russian thistle, and Russian olive offer a distinct contrast to very flat landscape.

There are no state lands available for hunting. Some landowners allow antelope hunting if approached well before the opener, but some may be reluctant to allow deer hunters permission.

Major highways that provide travel around and through the area are Interstate 70, Colorado Route 59, US 40, County Roads 5G, A, 9 and the Flagler-Wild Horse Road. Most other county roads and secondary roads are connected to these state and county highways.

Some ranchers after giving permission to hunt allow camping in designated areas. Flagler Reservoir has camping in posted areas. Hugo, on US 40, provides a hospital, restaurants and gas. Limon, Flagler and Stratton, along Interstate 70, have motels, gas, diesel and restaurants. A weekday medical clinic is also located in Limon.
