This is a large unit with a diverse mix of farm and agricultural land. A wide swath of natural shrub-steppe and riparian wetlands runs diagonally through the unit and is covered with lakes, ponds, and wetlands. Swanson Lakes Wildlife Area, state and BLM public ground also follow along this distinctive land feature. Columbia sharp-tailed grouse, mule deer and upland game birds favor this ecosystem. Throughout the unit there are other tracks of BLM and state ground providing public hunting opportunities.
Roughly half of the unit consists of various dry land agriculture crops, representing a continual menu for the local game.
