Monte Cristo range lies to the west, Yakama Nation Reservation to the north, Columbia River on the short southern border, and large expanses of arid scab land across the Klickitat River on the eastern boundary. The bulk of the unit is private land with a few large tracts owned by various timber companies in the north, along with agricultural land of many sizes, commonly cattle, hay and dryland grains. The bulk of private land, however, is broken into very small pieces of single family ranchettes, rural properties and summer homes popping up throughout the unit which will continue to affect big game behavior and hunting opportunities. Hunters willing to put in a little work scouting can find places to hunt as there are numbers small tracts of state ground and BLM chunks.
Conboy Lake Wildlife Refuge is closed to elk and deer hunting.
