The majority of the unit consists of rolling grass or tilled farm ground mixed with sagebrush ridges, sagebrush flats and scattered breaks. As you near the Yellowstone River, several creeks feed its flow. Along these creek drainages there are pockets of juniper and Ponderosa Pine, with dense cottonwood trees in the creek bottoms.

There are many small isolated pieces of BLM and state lands. A GPS with a landownership overlay is recommended to help access these parcels.
