Between the Great Salt Lake and Utah Lake to the south, this unit features two mountain ranges separated by a desert valley with wetlands. Healthy herds of mule deer live in varied terrain that is largely accessible to the public.

With over 6,000 feet of elevation change, terrain is varied. Valleys consist of desert flats and rolling land that rise to foothills. The Cedar and Stansbury Mountains have peaks with some extreme elevations

Low elevations in this unit have dry, desert rolling hills and flats. Some grass, prickly-pear cactus and sagebrush with scattered pinyon pines and juniper trees can be found. Middle elevations are covered in ponderosa pines and oak brush, while sagebrush continues through this elevation as well. Higher elevations have scattered aspen groves with steep slopes covered in conifer forests.

Much of the land here is managed by the BLM, giving good access. There are also large pieces of private land mixed throughout the unit. There is road access on all sides of the unit with well-maintained dirt roads leading to less-maintained 4-wheel-drive roads and ATV trails

Most hunters camp along roads. There are several locations that have good, flat camping locations for travel trailers or tents. Several campsites are available throughout the unit as well.
