This unit is located in the far northeast corner of the state along the Minnesota state line. This unit consists of mostly private land with a little state land and walk-in access in the far north west corner. Most of the public pieces are generally smaller but DIY hunters can find some opportunities here.

With so much private land this unit can be daunting for the public land hunter but there are some smaller parcels and a good collection of walk-in areas that can provide some good opportunities.

This unit has one of the more pronounced elevation changes of any of the units in this part of the state. The far west side has elevations as high as 2,000 feet while on the east side and particularly on the northeast side there are elevations as low as 1,000 feet and under. Overall the unit on the west is rather broken while it flattens out as you head east and lose elevation. There is no major terrain feature to speak of in the unit, and the bulk of the real estate is used for dry land farming. What is not being used for farming is mostly wetland, and marsh.

The various creek beds have scattered timber including Cottonwood, American Elm, Green Ash, and Bur Oak lining the edges of much of the water system. As you move through the riparian zone you will find a healthy mix of marsh vegetation including cattails, different prairie grass and wildflowers. The agriculture is a mix of soybean, corn, wheat, sunflowers, alfalfa primarily with some farmers growing different types of vegetables.

Interstate 29 moves north and south across the west side of the unit in the northwest corner. While state highway 12 goes west to east and eventually gets you to Big Stone City which is one of the most prominent towns in the unit. Highway 12 has multiple county highways and roads that go north and south off of it, and will allow you access to all parts of the unit you may be looking to access.

Milbank is more or less centered in the unit and is a relatively big town for this part of the country. Here you will find almost anything you may need including fuel, groceries, sporting goods, locally owned motels, and more. If planning a hunt in this part of the state, this will likely be the last place to launch from before you head into the field. In the far northeast corner you will also find Big Stone City with anything you may need if you find yourself in this part of the unit.
