West of Interstate 25 between Raton and Springer and east of Colfax, Cimarron and Rayado. Elk, mule deer, whitetail deer and pronghorn antelope are hunted on private land, which comprise all but the Maxwell National Wildlife Refuge and a little land around Stubblefield Dam.
Almost the entire unit is flat to rolling rangeland that provides excellent pronghorn hunting. A few elk and mule deer live along the few brushy creek bottoms where cottonwoods, pinyon pines and junipers grow.
