This small steep unit is largely Weyerhaeuser Company land, with a little bit of Gifford Pinchot National Forest on the eastern tip. There are a couple of other large private landowners and just a few small properties mainly in the Elk, Forest and Fawn Lake region, and along Rd 504 where it crosses Pullen Creek out west. The Hoffstadt Unit of Mount Saint Helens Wildlife Area, along with Corps of Engineer and small pieces of state land, run along the southwestern border to the western tip. The Green River forms the northern boundary of this steep, heavily forested GMU; although a significant portion is by timber companies, it has seen heavy logging activity like some of the units further to the west. However, there are large tracts of clear-cuts in various stages of regrowth here. This rugged country is dotted with numerous lakes including: Shovel, Panhandle, Obscurity, Holmstedt, Boot, Grizzly, Venus and Island lake in the national forest, along with Black Mountain, Minnie Peak, Mount Venus and Mount Whittier, which drops over 3,000-ft towards the Green River in under two-miles.

Both the blacktail deer and elk are intensely managed in this GMU.
