This area is made up of high plain desert, the Lysite Mountains and the foothills of the Big Horn Mountains and is located in the central part of the state. The area has large amounts of BLM and State Lands and is bordered by U.S. Highway 16 on the north. Access might be difficult on the eastern portions of the unit where it is primarily private lands.

The terrain is moderate/rugged, with elk located mostly in the rugged and sparsely timbered foothills of the Big Horn Mountains. This is a large unit with lots of country to hunt. Bigger elk typically come from the more rugged and remote locations in the unit or the fringes of large ranches.
