The north 1/3 section is mostly terraced pastureland. The south section has approximately 240 acres of terraced wheat fields, ideal for deer plots, cultivated dry land, or to establish some improved/native grasses. The south section also has a mix of pastureland and canyons. Both parcels are suited well for hunting with ample cover, but also serves well for grazing with the mix of native pastureland. There is a mix of native grasses, cactus, yuccas, catclaw, mesquite, and juniper on both parcels.
