One of the larger units in the state, it has a huge variation in terrain and habitat. The Wasatch Plateau runs north and south down through the entire west side of this unit. On top of the mountain range there are large meadows and flats. Off of the mountain, there are steep creek drainages leading down to the valley floor. Just up from the valley floor are rolling foot hills. With all of the ridges, foothills and drainages there are a lot of areas for game to hide where they may not get pressured. Much of the eastern part of the unit is desert and canyon country.

Much of the unit is part of the Manti-LaSal National Forest or desert land managed by the BLM, giving great public access. There is road access on all sides of the unit with well-maintained dirt roads leading to less-maintained 4-wheel-drive roads or ATV trails. The canyon roads out of Fairview, Ephraim, and Mayfield provide better access to Skyline Drive.

The low elevations on this unit are dry, desert rolling hills, flats and canyon country. Some grass, prickly-pear cactus and sagebrush with scattered pinyon pines and juniper trees. Middle elevations are covered in ponderosa pines, oak brush and the sagebrush. The higher elevations have scattered aspen groves with the steep slopes covered in conifer forests. The mountain tops have large grassy meadows with scattered ponds, thick aspen and conifer forest.

Most hunters camp along roads, there are several locations that have good flat camping locations for travel trailers or tents. There are a couple of designated campgrounds open to the public. There are several small towns spread throughout the unit that offer lodging and supplies including Fairview, Ephraim, Mt. Pleasant, Salina, and Manti.
